The Fine root dynamics after stand-replacing fire and clearcutting in the boreal forest of central Canada
(2012-11-10)
In boreal forest ecosystems, stand age is a key driver of forest ecosystem productivity, carbon storage/sequestration, and other ecosystem functions. The age-related decline of aboveground productivity is well known in ...
The Impacts of forest management practices on mercury contamination in small stream biota
(2012-11-10)
Mercury is a contaminant of global concern as it is present in all biota and ecosystems around the world. Small streams are influenced by the terrestrial systems that feed them. I examined the presence of mercury in small ...
The Influence of wetlands and watershed geology on lake chemistry of five remote lakes in Northwestern Ontario
(2012-11-10)
In chapter 1 of this study the relationship between spatial, chemical, and
biological factors and their influence on mercury concentration s in walleye were
examined. Water, sediment, and fish tissue samples were collected ...
Floristic structure, composition and depth of edge influence at buffer and wildfire edges along small boreal streams
(2009)
Within the boreal forest of northwestern Ontario clearcutting and fire are the most common edge-creating disturbances. Along streams, wild fire consumes the majority of trees to the edge of riparian zones. However, forest ...
Regeneration dynamics after fire and clear cutting in boreal mixedwoods
(2009)
Emulation of natural disturbance processes and their effects is important to maintain the structure and composition of managed forests. In boreal mixed forests, clearcutting has been considered as management practice ...
