Nitrogen removal efficiencies in constructed wetlands
(2019)
This thesis summarizes the usage of constructed wetlands in reducing nitrogen
loaded anthropogenic waste water, sourcing a collection of results of outside literature.
The literature used in this thesis was found from ...
Invasive species along road segments and recommendations for remediation
(2019)
This literature review specifically looks at roads segments as facilitators for non-native invasive plant species. There are three types of roads presented throughout this paper; primary regionally paved roads; secondary ...
Effects of water availability, longer photoperiod, and elevated [CO2] on the potential of the northward migration in trembling aspen (populus tremuloides michx.)
(2019)
Based on climate envelope models, boreal tree species may migrate to higher latitudes (approximately 10˚N toward the north) in response to rapid climate changes by the end of this century. Multiple factors will likely ...
Assessing the effectiveness of airborne thermal technology for delineating environmental thermal effluent
(2019)
Bruce Power Generating Station is located on the shores of Lake Huron and is responsible for generating 30% of the Province of Ontario’s electrical need on a daily basis. Lake Huron is the 5th largest freshwater lake by ...
Using trail camera imagery to develop a habitat suitability index (HSI) For moose (Alces alces) In the English River Forest, ON
(2019)
Moose are a valuable economic and ecological resource in Ontario. Understanding their spatial distribution throughout the forest is essential for managing populations and preserving habitat. One method of identifying the ...
Potential utilization of green ash wood as a result of emerald ash borer proactive management in Thunder Bay, Ontario
(2018)
The emerald ash borer (Agrillus planipennis Fairmaire) (EAB) was discovered in Thunder Bay, Ontario in June, 2016. Since that time, the city of Thunder Bay has implemented a proactive management plan of 50% treatment and ...
Using planet labs imagery to track caribou: a pilot study
(2019)
Using satellite imagery from an earth imaging company called Planet Labs, this
study aimed to see whether Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) could be
tracked through a disturbance path left by migrating herds. ...
Comparing the spatial pattern of fire and harvest disturbance in boreal Ontario watersheds
(2016)
Fire and harvest are both major sources of disturbance in Ontario’s boreal forest.
They are largely responsible for successional patterns in forest vegetation, and influence
regimes of hydrologic change in boreal streams, ...
The economic value of recovering the town of Oakville's urban forest after the impacts of the emerald ash borer
(2019)
The Town of Oakville is responsible for maintaining some 2,016,500 city trees planted within boulevards on the city’s streets (UFORE 2016). Prior to the emerald ash borer, ash trees represented the top 5 most trees planted ...
Exploring the potential to minimize forest road cost in Ontario with LiDAR and RoadENG
(2019)
The objective of this study was to determine if light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and RoadENG could produce a more cost-effective road design than a field-based road design. A Triangulated irregular network (TIN) was ...
