Does fire severity difference create divergent plant communities in black spruce-Kalmia forests of eastern Canada?
(2009-06-25)
After fire, some conifer-ericaceous plant communities in Western Europe and eastern
North America have demonstrated divergent succession from traditional conifer stand
replacement to Ericaceae-dominated community states. ...
Sources of small-scale variation in headwater stream habitat and macroinvertebrate communities
(2009-06-04)
The extent to which small stream habitats and communities are influenced by the
surrounding terrestrial environment is a function of the linkage between aquatic and
terrestrial systems. The strength of that linkage is ...
Lowbush blueberries in Northwestern Ontario as a commercial crop option in post-harvest peatlands
(2009-10-15)
Wild blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium Ait.) were investigated as a possible reclamation tool for post harvest peatlands in Northwestern Ontario, by genetic fingerprinting using microsatellite markers, an examination ...
Changes in physiology and reproductive success in fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) exposed to pulp and paper mill effluent / by Jacob D. Ouellet.
(2008)
As part of their manufacturing process, pulp and paper mills release effluent into waterways that may affect the fecundity, morphology, and physiology of invertebrates and vertebrates in the receiving ecosystem (Kovacs et ...
Effect of biofilm and the role of rpoS on the survival of a p-Nitrophenol-degrading Pseudomonas putida / by Miranda Maki.
(2008)
Pseudomonas putida is a Gram negative bacterium that can be found naturally in the environment as planktonic free-living cells, or in concert with other bacterial species in biofilms. In this study, the P. putida strain ...
Freeze-thaw effect on selected fecal indicator bacteria : Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis / by Nicole A. Hawdon.
(2008)
The survival of two selected fecal indicator organisms, two strains of Escherichia coli, a Gram-negative bacterium, and two strains of Enterococcus faecalis, a Gram-positive bacterium, after freezing and thawing successively ...
Site fidelity and habitat characteristics of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus) nursery areas in Wabakimi and Woodland Caribou provincial parks, Northern Ontario / by Natasha Lynn Carr.
(2007)
To prevent further range recession, habitat features essential to the life history requisites of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) such as calving and nursery areas need to be protected for the persistence of ...
Riparian vegetation response to clearcutting along small streams of boreal forest / by Shekhar R. Biswas.
(2008)
In this thesis I examined three important ecological questions to understand the role of forest management disturbance on unmapped small stream riparian plant communities: I) how do small stream riparian plant communities ...
Selected ion flow tube-mass spectrometry in plant volatile compound analysis
(2009-07-20)
Four monoterpenes and two monoterpenoids, (+)- and DL-limonene, (1S)-(3) carene, terpinolene, cineol and rose oxide, respectively, were studied using selected ion flow tube-mass spectrometry. Specifically, the reactions ...
Water quality and toxicity investigations of two pit lakes at the former Steep Rock iron mines, near Atikokan, Ontario / by Andrea R. Goold.
(2008)
Caland and Hogarth Pit Lakes formed after cessation of mining and
dewatering efforts of open-pit iron mines, near Atikokan, Ontario. They were
assessed for w ater quality changes since monitoring began in 1998. ...
