From coal to wood thermoelectric energy production: Socio-economic impacts in northwestern Ontario, Canada
(2016)The province of Ontario in Canada is the first North American jurisdiction with legislation in place to eliminate coal-fired thermoelectric production. Ontario Power Generation’s (OPG) coal-fired Atikokan Generating Station ... -
Interactive effects of soil temperature and resource availability on physiological and growth responses of white birch (Betula papyrifera) seedlings to atmospheric carbon dioxide elevation
(2009)Predicting the impacts of future high atmospheric CO2 concentration, [CO2], on the physiology and growth of boreal forests is complicated by interactions of CO2 with other environmental conditions. Two-factor CO2 x environment ... -
Mixtures of Metals and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Lead to Complex Toxic Outcomes in the Freshwater Amphipod, Hyalella azteca
(2015)The study of ecotoxicology inevitably must address the fact that toxicants always occur in mixture. Unfortunately, our present state of knowledge in terms of predicting the effects of contaminant mixtures and understanding ... -
Patterns and mechanisms of tree species diversity effects on fine root processes associated with stand development in boreal forests
(2018)Over the last two decades, one major advance in ecology has been the demonstration that biodiversity has positive effects on a broad range of ecosystem functions. However, diversity-ecosystem functioning studies for ... -
Stage structure must inform recovery in fish populations: a case for lake sturgeon in the Namakan River, Ontario
(2018)Lake sturgeon are a large bodied, slow maturing, intermittently reproducing acipenserid native to central North America. The species is a conservation concern range-wide because of population declines during the 19th and ...
