Integrating functional trait frameworks into restoration : the role of seed and seedling traits in recruitment success

Creator:: Larson, Julie E.
Abstract:: Seeding is a vital tool to facilitate recovery of degraded ecosystems, but low seedling recruitment rates limit the utility of this practice in a range of ecosystems across the globe. Plant functional traits impact individual fitness through effects on growth, reproduction and survival. Consequently, seed and seedling trait variation among...

A critical examination of the ageing method for sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria) from the U.S. west coast using edge analysis and oxytetracycline

Creator:: O'Malley, Joseph M.
Abstract:: This thesis evaluates the current break-and-burn ageing method for the southern stock (U.S. west coast) of sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria). Differences in growth rates between the northern (north of Vancouver Island, BC) and southern stocks (south of Vancouver Island, BC) and results from a radiometric study conducted on fish from the...

Range-wide abundance and fluctuating asymmetry patterns of sagebrush-obligate passerine birds

Creator:: Krissman, Cortnie M.
Abstract:: North American sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystems are suffering from reductions in habitat extent and quality. Only about 50% of sagebrush remains from pre-settlement conditions, and much of the remaining habitat is fragmented or degraded by invasive species, fire suppression and overgrazing. Sagebrush-obligate species are experiencing population declines as a result...

Comparison between lichen, conifer needles, resin-based passive air sampling devices (PASDs), and snow to monitor semi-volatile organic compounds (SOCs) in the atmosphere

Creator:: Schrlau, Jill E.
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to compare four different media that were used to monitor SOC atmospheric concentrations in remote ecosystems. The accumulation of semi-volatile organic compounds, including pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), was investigated in lichen, 2-year old conifer needles, resin-based passive air sampling...

Post-Aggregate Aggregation : A Geographic Evaluation of Enhancement Reclamation at Aggregate Mines in the Western United States

Creator:: Morrison, Elizabeth A.
Abstract:: The aggregate industry is responsible for the extraction and production of crushed stone, sand, and gravel— the literal building blocks of our society. Across the U.S. there are tens of thousands of quarries and sand and gravel pits, the majority of which are left abandoned or with minimal reclamation efforts....
