The Impact of Invasive Earthworms on Soil Respiration and Soil Carbon within Temperate Hardwood Forests

Year: 2016, 2016

Member of: Trent University Graduate Thesis Collection

Name(s): Creator (cre): Jennings, Bradley Wayne, Thesis advisor (ths): Watmough, Shaun A, Degree committee member (dgc): Beresford, David V, Degree committee member (dgc): Lafleur, Peter M, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University

Abstract: <p>Improving current understanding of the factors that control soil carbon (C) dynamics in forest ecosystems remains an important topic of research as it plays an integral role in the fertility of forest soils and the global carbon cycle. Invasive earthworms have the potential to alter soil C dynamics, though mechanisms and effects remain poorly understood. To investigate potential effects… more

Carbon Exchange along a Natural Gradient of Deciduous Shrub Coverage in the Low-Arctic

Year: 2016, 2016

Name(s): Creator (cre): Ge, Le, Thesis advisor (ths): Lafleur, Peter M, Degree committee member (dgc): Watmough, Shaun A, Degree committee member (dgc): Emery, Neil, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University

Abstract: <p>Arctic terrestrial ecosystems have experienced substantial structural and compositional changes in response to warming climate in recent decades, especially the expansion of shrub species in Arctic tundra. Climatic and vegetation changes could feedback to the global climate by changing the carbon balance of Arctic tundra. The objective of this thesis was to investigate the influence of… more
