Adaptive variation in cold hardiness among aspen (Populus tremuloides) provenances
(2002)The relative efficiencies of using different methods to detect genetic variation in cold hardiness were evaluated, and the adaptive variation among aspen provenances was further studied. This thesis is organized as three ... -
Black spruce regeneration in Kalmia dominated sites : effects of mycorrhizal inoculation and forest floor mixing
(2005)Study area : Terra Nova National Park, 90 km southeast of Gander, Newfoundland. -
Carbon stock estimates for red spruce (Picea rubens) forest in central Nova Scotia
(2005)Carbon storage was measured in natural red spruce dominated stands in the Eastern Eco-region of central Nova Scotia (NS). Twenty-four plots over a 140-year chronosequence were established. Within each plot, major carbon ... -
Climate change-associated temporal increase of tree mortality and its consequences in central and western Canadian boreal forests
(2014-01-22)Tree mortality influences forest structure, composition and ecosystem functions. To assess how recent climate changes affected tree mortality, observational studies conducted in old-growth forests have shown that tree ... -
Ecologically-based taper equations for major tree species in Manitoba
(2004)Kozak's variable exponent taper equation was fitted for balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera L.), trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.), white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss), black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) ... -
Effect of enhanced efficiency nitrogen fertilizers and ANVOL™ on spring wheat production and soil health
(2024)Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient that plays a critical role in the cultivation of spring wheat, affecting several physiological and developmental processes. The widespread use of N fertilizers can result in ... -
Genetic variation of functional traits related to drought tolerance in yellow birch seedlings
(2022)Understanding patterns of variation in drought-related traits of hardwood trees is crucial for conserving and managing North American temperate forests under climate change. In this study, I examined provenance variation ... -
Post disturbance dynamics of aspen mixed-woods : a comparison among fire, logging, and budworm outbreak
(2002)Seventy-one aspen (Populus tremuloidies Michx.) mixedwood stands disturbed in the 1980’s were sampled in southeastern Manitoba, Canada to examine the response of arboreal and understory communities to natural and ...
