Landscape genetic analysis of population structure and barriers to gene flow in boreal woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)
(2023)
This study examines patterns of population genetic structure and gene flow of boreal
woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), which are experiencing declining
population sizes across North America. Compared to ...
A spatial analysis of the relationship between forest demographic dynamics and diversity under climate change
(2023)
Forest dynamics arise from three demographic processes simultaneously, namely recruitment,
mortality and growth, all of which are expected to accelerate for the boreal forest under future
climate change. Tree species ...
Effects of nitrogen supply on the physiological and morphological responses to elevated [CO2] in yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis Britt.)
(2023)
Ongoing climate changes can substantially impact soil nitrogen availability through its
effects on other environmental conditions such as temperature, precipitation, and the frequency
and intensity of extreme whether ...
Exploring food system assessments as a contribution to sustainability and equity: a case study of the Thunder Bay + area food strategy community food system report card
(2023)
The corporate food regime has contributed to a number of negative outcomes that include
land, water, and ecosystem degradation; human health concerns; marginalization of smallholder
farmers and urban agriculture producers; ...
Effect of boreal forest disturbance due to logging at different spatial scales on migratory songbirds
(2024)
Boreal birds have experienced population declines that may be related to alteration of the forest
at a range of scales. Understanding how resource extraction may affect the distribution and
abundance of species is critical ...
Understanding drivers and correlates of fish productivity: Finding optimal indicators in freshwater fishes
(2024)
Canadian freshwater commercial and recreational fisheries contribute $8.8 billion
in revenue to the economy annually and are a significant subsistence food source for
Indigenous communities. Fish production is recognized ...
Estimating DBH with iPad Pro LiDAR in Boreal Forests: methodological considerations and a case study in natural boreal forests
(2024)
Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) is the measure of the diameter of a tree stem 1.3
meters above the ground. DBH is a key variable measured in Forest Resource
Inventories (FRIs) and is traditionally measured manually, which ...
The relationship between multifaceted diversity and functioning of Canadian forests under global environmental change
(2024)
Human activities have caused biodiversity simplification at local and global scales and raised
concerns about potential effects on ecosystem functions and biodiversity conservation. In the
past decades, there have been ...
