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 ...
Coordination chemistry of bithiazole ligands: a comparative study of the 2,2’ and 4,4’ isomers
(2019)
The bithiazole ring system consists of two thiazole (C3NS) aromatic rings. There are many regioisomers but two of potential interest for coordination chemistry are the 2,2’-bis(1,3-thiazole) and the 4,4’-bis(1,3-thiazole), ...
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 ...
The effects of invasive dreissenid mussels on the offshore food web of Lake Simcoe, Ontario
(2019)
Dreissenid mussels have successfully invaded North America, including the Great Lakes and their surrounding waterbodies. With their establishment, there have been many notable impacts including the rerouting of energy flow ...
Causes and consequences of population changes in Black Bay Steelhead, Lake Superior
(2019)
Understanding species interactions is an important component of fisheries resource management. Like the other Great Lakes, Lake Superior’s fish species composition (and therefore interactions among species) has been changing ...
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 ...
