The effects of stratification methods on paper birch and yellow birch seed germination
(2022)
This study examines the use of both a typical cold moist stratification method,
and an alternative in their ability to affect germination rates in paper birch (Betula
papyrifera) and yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis). ...
Climate change impacts on growth of black spruce in western Canadian boreal forest
(2022)
This study explored the effects of changes climate on the growth rate of black spruce
in western Canadian boreal forests over a 55-year time from 1950 to 2005. A multiple
linear regression model was run for tree ring ...
Factors affecting the structure and function of forest ecosystem: disturbance and climate change
(2021)
This paper discusses the effects of climate change and disturbance on forest ecosystems.
At present, the increasing temperature caused by global warming and the occurrence of various
fire events has posed a huge challenge ...
Sustainability analysis of carbon dioxide emissions on combustion of biomass for electricity
(2022)
The transition towards renewable, low-carbon energy is a fundamental element of climate
change mitigation. Many countries around the world have set their decarbonization strategies to
reduce emissions. The European Union ...
The effects of climate change on the growth and spawning phenology of fishes in aquatic boreal environments
(2022)
Global climate change is occurring and observed warming patterns have had significant
impacts on aquatic environments as trends in water temperature are closely related to trends in
air temperature. In ectothermic organisms ...
The effect of cottage development on aquatic macroinvertebrate communities and water quality in central Ontario lakes
(2023)
In Canada, over 3 million freshwater lakes provide a wide range of ecological, financial,
aesthetic, and public health services for their citizens, communities, and tourists. This is
especially true for regions like ...
Monitoring and access management of resource roads with instrumentation
(2023)
Forest transportation operations are facing challenges such as having larger road
networks to manage because of dispersed harvest patterns, climate changes forcing more
hauling to take place under wet road conditions, ...
Using Canadian migration monitoring network data to assess population changes in Canada Warbler (Cardellina canadensis)
(2023)
The Canada Warbler (Cardellina canadensis) has been listed since 2010 as
Threatened according to the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada
(COSEWIC) due to significant and long-term declines in the ...
The use of citizen science data to predict the winter distribution of the snowy owl in Ontario
(2023)
As an Anishinaabe person and environmental scientist, I feel I have an inherent duty to
be a steward of the environment. I chose to conduct research on Snowy Owls after
learning about the conservation issues affecting ...
Climate change effects on the surface temperature, ice coverage, & water levels of Lake Superior
(2023)
Lake Superior’s surface water temperature, water level, and ice cover are all
suggested to be changing with increased atmospheric temperatures caused by climate
change. This thesis uses data from 1995-2022 to determine ...
