Plant diversity effect on soil carbon dynamics
(2019)
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a valuable natural resource, supplying goods and services for human benefits, including mediating global climate change and securing food production and environmental quality. Biodiversity loss ...
Global environmental change effects on forest dynamics: lessons from permanent sample plot networks
(2019)
Global environmental change caused by anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gasses is a major threat to forest ecosystems globally. Before we can begin to adequately mitigate these threats, we first must understand how ...
Determining the accuracy of terrestrial LiDAR on red pine
(2019)
This paper reviews the capabilities of the FARO Terrestrial LiDAR technology
to produce accurate forest measurements. The study was conducted on single Red Pine
trees in Northern Ontario. Field measurements were compared ...
Finding a natural alternative from forest resources for plastic single use utensils
(2019)
The use of plastics by society has increased tremendously due to the high
durability of the product and low cost of production. High production has changed many
products being made of natural materials such as wood to ...
Traditional agroforestry systems as habitat for avian species: assessing their role in conservation
(2019)
The objective of this study was to explore the role of traditional agroforestry systems in Ecuador,
called chakras, in the conservation of avian species. Eleven examples of chakra, including
plantations of yuca (Manihot ...
A survey of fungal endophytes from healthy branches of Ginkgo biloba
(2019)
Ginkgo biloba L. is known for being highly resistant to bacterial, insect, and fungal infestations and thus ginkgo trees are commonly cultivated and planted in urban landscapes. The objective of this study was to determine ...
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 ...
