Biosynthesis of ω–hydroxy fatty acid polyesters in Nicotiana tabacum stigmas
(2023)The aerial surfaces of all land plants are covered by hydrophobic lipid barriers that contain a core structure of polyesters derived from hydroxy fatty acids and glycerol. One type of surface lipid polyester is found in ... -
Fine root dynamics for three distinct Northern Ontario forests : a comparison of approaches used to estimate fine root biomass, productivity, and turnover
(2009)There is increasing interest to develop quantitative approaches to carbon accounting and determine carbon sequestration potential at both the site and landscape scales. Currently, our lack of understanding of fine root ... -
Investigating productivity and foliar nutrient status in second growth white spruce (Picea glauca) and trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides)
(2012-11-10)This thesis synthesizes two related papers investigating competitive interactions of second growth white spruce (Picea glauca [Moench] Voss) and trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) at the Fallingsnow Ecosystem ... -
Post-fire natural regeneration of young stands on clearcut, partial-cut and uncut sites of boreal mixedwoods : Fire NIP 10 burned stands regeneration analysis
(2008)Boreal mixedwoods are an important element and the most productive forest type in the Canadian boreal forests. This research focused on the regeneration of stands burned by an intense wild fire in Black Sturgeon Boreal ... -
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 ... -
Variation in vessel diameter and leaf area of white birch (Betula papyrifera) along moisture gradients in Canada
(2010)One of the key hypotheses of this research is that white birch that has evolved in wet areas will have larger vessels than those trees that evolved in dry areas. Since the wet areas are less likely to experience drought ...
