Contemporary Water Governance: Navigating Crisis Response and Institutional Constraints through Pragmatism
(MDPI AG, Basel, Switzerland, 2016)
Water has often been the source of crises and their frequency will intensify due to climate
change impacts. The Niagara River Watershed provides an ideal case to study water crises as it is an international transboundary ...
Framing Indigenous Partnerships in Energy and Allied Renewable Resource Sectors. Final Report to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada
(2017)
Canada is a top five global energy producer and thus is in a leadership position with respect to how it engages in international markets and, increasingly, energy partnerships. Growing global energy demand and international ...
Temperature and freezing effects on phosphorus release from soils to overlying floodwater under flooded-anaerobic conditions
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2020-03-30)
Increased phosphorus (P) availability under flooded, anaerobic conditions may accelerate P loss from soils to water bodies. Existing knowledge on P release to floodwater from flooded soils is limited to summer conditions ...
Aboriginal Capacity Building Achievements for Sustainable Natural Resource Development
(Centre for Forest Interdisciplinary Research, University of Winnipeg, 2016)
This knowledge synthesis report provides the first bibliometric profile and systemic review of research on Aboriginal capacity building for natural resource development in Canada.
Briefing Note: Community Forestry in Canada
(Centre for Forest Interdisciplinary Research, University of Winnipeg, 2016)
Global economic instability, the need for local adaptation to climate change impacts, and Supreme Court rulings over Aboriginal and Treaty Rights have drawn attention to community dissatisfaction with centralized approaches ...
Ecosystem Perceptions in Flood Prone Areas: A Typology and Its Relationship to Preferences for Governance
(MDPI AG, Basel, Switzerland, 2016)
A shift appears to be occurring in thinking about flooding, from a resistance-based approach to one of resilience. Accordingly, how stakeholders in flood-prone regions perceive the system and its governance are salient ...
Degree of Phosphorus Saturation as a Predictor of Redox-Induced Phosphorus Release from Flooded Soils to Floodwater
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2019-11-01)
Phosphorus (P) loss from soils is often enhanced under flooded, anaerobic conditions, increasing the risk of freshwater eutrophication. We aimed to develop a predictive tool to identify soils with greater P release potential ...
Are community forestry principles at work in Ontario’s County, Municipal, and Conservation Authority forests?
(The Forestry Chronicle, 2012)
Ontario’s County, Municipal and Conservation Authority forests have received little attention within the academic literature on community forestry in Canada. These “Agreement Forests”, as they were once called, are a product ...
Probing the relationship between ecosystem perceptions and approaches to environmental governance: an exploratory content analysis of seven water dilemmas
(Routledge, 2018)
Addressing wicked ‘water dilemmas’ requires an understanding of the context within which they are embedded. This study explored perceptions of the ecosystem in terms of resilience and the governance approaches employed ...
Phosphorus Release from Unamended and Gypsum- or Biochar-Amended Soils under Simulated Snowmelt and Summer Flooding Conditions
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2020-03-30)
Prolonged flooding changes the oxidation–reduction status of soils, often enhancing P release to overlying floodwater. We studied P release from unamended, gypsum-amended, and biochar-amended soils under simulated snowmelt ...
