(2020)
This thesis explores the different Lepidopteran species that were found around
the community of Verde Sumaco, Ecuador, in December of 2018. The objective of this
thesis was to determine if there is a difference in ...
Properties Of Fire-Salvaged Woody Biomass In Northern Ontario And Potential Utilization
(2020)
Due to the suppression of forest fires and lack of implementation of
management tools such as prescribed burning, there has been a change in the
fire regime of Northern Ontario. This has led to larger, more intense fires ...
Determining genetic resistance to jack pine budworm defoliation in jack pine from different geographic seed sources across Ontario
(2020)
Jack pine budworm is an outbreak insect that defoliates jack pine forests across Canada.
While it is a native species, the outbreaks can have severe economic impacts, such as
loss of timber volume and increased risk of ...
Ecotypic variation of black spruce in northwestern Ontario
(2020)
The success of reforestation can be improved by selecting the appropriate seed source
for the site type. However, not much is known about the differences in using upland
versus lowland black spruce seed sources when ...
Comparative analysis of the properties of tamarack (Larix laricina (Du Roi) K. Koch) particleboard and thermally treated oriented strand board (OSB)
(2014)
Engineered wood products (EWPs), for example, particleboard and oriented strand board (OSB), are normally made from wood residuals or small particles of underutilized wood species for replacing solid sawn products as its ...
Assessing data accessibility and quality: predicting the effect of impervious surfaces on water quality in urban centres on the west coast of Lake Superior
(2020)
This research will critically examine the difference in data quality and
accessibility between two cities through an analysis of predicting the effect of
impervious surfaces on water quality. Through using the Impervious ...
Relationship between glacial refugial range and genetic diversity in eastern North American conifer species
(2020)
The aim of this thesis is to relate genetic diversity to the extent of glacial
refugia in several important North American conifer species. Refugial locations
were hindcasted using MaxEnt software with occurrence points ...
Carbon sequestration potential of agroforestry systems in Canada
(2020)
Agroforestry is a land management system which integrates forest management
practices with agriculture, often using high-value tree species planted alongside crops to
increase profits. Agroforestry has the potential to ...
Long range ecological restoration plan for the Lake of the Woods using waterbird guilds as indicator species
(2020)
This thesis explores a long-term ecological restoration plan for the Lake of the
Woods area using waterbird guilds as indicator species to plan, adjust and minimize
climatic affects in the future. In a time of rapid ...
The effects of competition on underplanted juvenile white spruce in fill blocks in northern Alberta
(2020)
This paper examined the effects of competition on juvenile white spruce growth
planted in the understory of lodgepole pine on a mixedwood boreal site. Growth and
success of planted white spruce seedlings were investigated ...
