The effect of cottage development on aquatic macroinvertebrate communities and water quality in central Ontario lakes
(2023)In Canada, over 3 million freshwater lakes provide a wide range of ecological, financial, aesthetic, and public health services for their citizens, communities, and tourists. This is especially true for regions like ... -
Effect of different temperatures and pH on the growth and interactions of Hypholoma species and Phlebiopsis gigantea with Armillaria ostoyae and Heterobasidion irregulare
(2024)Root and butt rot diseases caused by the fungal pathogens Armillaria ostoyae and Heterobasidion irregulare, result in substantial economic and ecological losses to pine plantations across southcentral Ontario, Canada. ... -
Efficacy of various Hypholoma spp. and Phlebiopsis gigantea as biocontrol agents against root rotting fungi Armillaria ostoyae
(2019)Conifer plantations are thinned to maximise production of high-quality timber for lumber, fire wood, and utility poles. However, thinning increases susceptibility to pathogens such as Armillaria ostoyae, a native basidiomycete ... -
The impact of golf courses on nutrient dynamics from developed areas
(2017)Proper management strategies aimed at reducing the export of excess nitrogen and phosphorus to water bodies are fundamental for resolving nutrient pollution and eutrophication. Golf courses are more intensely managed than ... -
Macrophyte Community Dynamics in Lake Simcoe’s Fringe Wetlands: Potential use as Biological Indicators of Water Quality
(2016)Indices have been developed using macrophytes and water quality parameters to detect the impact of anthropogenic disturbance on coastal wetlands of the Great Lakes, but such an index does not currently exist for Lake ... -
Northern wild rice (Zizania palustris L.) as a phytoremediation species in eutrophic wetlands - investigation of root-sediment interactions
(2014-01-22)The causes of anthropogenic eutrophication in water bodies are multi-faceted and multigenerational, presenting an ever increasing need for effective and sustainable solutions.Phytoremediation presents a cost-effective ... -
Periphyton community dynamics in varying natural environments : a study from Northern Lake Simcoe
(2014)Study site : near Barrie Ontario, Kempenfelt Bay - Barrie ; Concession Point - Ramara Township ; Lagoon City, Brechin. Globally, freshwater ecosystems are constantly under the threat of various biological and chemical ... -
Physical habitat associations of fish species in the Kivalliq region of Nunavut, Canada
(2020)The Canadian arctic and subarctic (areas north of 60° latitude) support distinct aquatic environments governed by the unique geomorphology and climate of the region. Historically, fish and fish habitat impacted by ... -
Temporal and spatial variability of the zooplankton community in Lake Couchiching, Orillia, Ontario: influence of water quality parameters
(2024)Lake Couchiching, located in Ontario, is a vital freshwater ecosystem providing numerous ecological, recreational, and economic benefits. As human activities and property development increase in the region, it is important ... -
Testate amoebae (thecamoebian) based reconstruction of Lake Simcoe fringe wetland paleoenvironments
(2014-12-12)Lake Simcoe, Ontario, Canada, a large southern Ontario glacial lake, has been affected by multiple environmental stressors throughout its history. This study uses testate amoebae paleodistribution to reconstruct the ... -
Wetlands as filters of heavy metals: A study in temperate fens of Central Ontario
(2024)Heavy metal concentrations (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) were investigated in water, peat, and macrophytes across three fens in Central Ontario in relation to the water parameters and peat properties to elucidate the ... -
Zooplankton community dynamics in the Trent Seven Waterway along Lake Simcoe and Lake Couchiching
(2017)The Trent Severn Waterway (TSW) is a 386km channel that connects Lake Ontario to Georgian Bay. There is a lack of information on the water quality in the nearshore region of the TSW specifically in regards to the planktonic ...
