Name(s): Creator (cre): Conquer, Shelby M., Thesis advisor (ths): Watmough, Shaun A., Degree committee member (dgc): Yan, Norman D., Degree committee member (dgc): Eimers, M. Catherine, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Recovery of forest soils from chronic acidification can be enhanced with the use of non-industrial wood ash (NIWA). Non-industrial wood ash is alkaline and contains high concentrations of macronutrients, but trace metal concentrations must be evaluated to limit risk of metal toxicity following application. Additionally, understanding how different forest ecosystem components respond to… more

Nutrient dynamics and stoichiometry in stormwater management ponds

Name(s): Creator (cre): Lamond, Marisha, Thesis advisor (ths): Xenopoulos, Marguerite A., Degree committee member (dgc): Frost, Paul C., Degree committee member (dgc): Eimers, M. Catherine, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Although stormwater management ponds (SWMPs) are frequently used to mitigate flooding in urban areas, we still do not fully understand how these systems impact water quality in a watershed. Currently, most research focuses on the effectiveness of SWMPs to retain nutrients during high flows, even though there is potential for internal nutrient releases to occur in these systems during low… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Kellaway, Edward James, Thesis advisor (ths): Watmough, Shaun A., Degree committee member (dgc): Eimers, M. Catherine, Degree committee member (dgc): Basiliko, Nathan, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Soil and tree chemistry were measured across 15 limed sites that were established 14 to 37 years ago within the Sudbury barrens in Ontario, along with two unlimed pre-treatment condition reference sites and an unlimed remnant pine forest. Soil pH and base cation (calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K)) concentrations were elevated in surface organic [FH] horizons up to 37-years… more
