Development of key components of a nitrogen budget for a forested watershed on the Canadian boreal plain
(2009)This investigation, which took place as part of the Forest Watershed and Riparian Disturbance (FORWARD) study in west-central Alberta on the Boreal Plain, measured key components of a nitrogen (N) budget in a relatively ... -
Effects of soil temperature on growth and biomass allocation in four boreal tree species
(2001)Trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.), black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.), white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss), and jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) seedlings were subject to seven soil temperature ... -
Effects of wind induced soil moisture stress on the germination and early growth of Pinus banksiana Lamb. on three soil texture types
(1988)A controlled environment wind tunnel was used to produce three wind speeds and hence three soil drying rates in order to study the effects of soil moisture stress on seeds and germinants of Pinus banksiana Lamb, planted ... -
Modelling soil temperature on the boreal plain with an emphasis on the rapid cooling period
(2009-10-15)To accurately model soil temperatures on the Boreal Plain, factors that influence fine-grained soils during the rapid cooling period must first be identified. The effects of air temperature, soil moisture and snow depth ...
