Soil: The Environmental Integrator
Resource
Soil is defined in terms of dynamic circulation patterns of water, air and minerals driven by solar energy. The soil is the reactor and exchanger of energy and matter and, as such, is the terrestrial...
The Distribution of Nutrients and Organic Matter in Native Mountain Grasslands and Reclaimed Coal-mined Areas in Southeastern B.C.
Resource
The study's purpose is to assess the nutrient self-sufficiency of five-year-old reclaimed areas in montane and subalpine environments. Adjacent, undisturbed native grasslands were also studied for...
The Influence of Postfire Recovery and Environmental Conditions on Boreal Vegetation
Resource
Climate change is increasing the frequency and extent of fires in the boreal biome of North America. These changes can alter the recovery of both canopy and understory vegetation. There is uncertainty...
The Spatial Patterns of Anthropogenic Disturbance in the Western Canadian Boreal Forest Following Oil and Gas Development
Resource
Resource development can have significant consequences for the distribution of vegetation cover and for species persistence. Modelling changes to anthropogenic disturbance regimes over time can...
