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 ... -
Pelleted manure compost improves mine spoil properties enhancing plant growth and phyto-stabilization of potentially toxic metals
(NRC Research Press, 2022-08-18)Feedlotmanure is rich in plant nutrients and can immobilize potentially toxic metals. However, pelleted manure compost as an amendment material in mine spoils (chat) is not well studied. This study was conducted to investigate ... -
Nano-oxides immobilize cadmium, lead, and zinc in mine spoils and contaminated soils facilitating plant growth
(NRC Research Press, 2021-04-26)Nanoparticles with high reactivity can be applied as amendments to remediate soil metal contaminations by immobilizing toxic elements. Nano-oxides of Fe have been studied but Al and Ti nano-oxides have not been tested for ... -
Cattle manure loadings and legacy effects on copper and zinc availability under rainfed and irrigated conditions
(NRC Research Press, 2021-02-03)Long-term cattle manure applications build up nutrient pools and can lead to trace element enrichments in soils. The objectives of this study were to evaluate copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) loadings in the soil during continuous ... -
Mobility of arsenic and vanadium in waterlogged calcareous soils due to addition of zeolite and manganese oxide amendments
(Wiley, 2023-01-17)Addition of manganese(IV) oxides (MnO2) and zeolite can affect the mobility of As and V in soils due to geochemical changes that have not been studied well in calcareous, flooded soils. This study evaluated the mobility ... -
Gypsum Amendment Reduces Redox-Induced Phosphorous Release from Freshly Manured, Flooded Soils to Floodwater
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2019-01-01)The effectiveness of gypsum in reducing runoff P losses from soils and the mechanisms responsible are well documented; however, gypsum amendment effects in reducing redox-induced P losses from flooded soils are less ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Putting Local Knowledge into Action: The Forest-Community Innovation Network
(2017)The Forest-Community Innovation Network is a locally mandated national network that will support transdisciplinary research, education, and action to advance forest-community sustainability. This newly-formalized network ... -
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 ... -
Community forests Canada: Bridging practice, research and advocacy. A Symposium and Workshop Report.
(2014)The purpose of this report is to share experiences and observations from the Community Forests Canada joint workshop-symposium hosted by the Centre for Forest Interdisciplinary Research and Department of Environmental ... -
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 ... -
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. -

Exploring Conservation Authority Operations in Sudbury, Northern Ontario: Constraints and opportunities
(Environments: a journal of interdisciplinary studies/revue d’études interdisciplinaires, 2006)This research explores how the Nickel District Conservation Authority (NDCA), in Sudbury, northern Ontario was affected by provincial restructuring through a survey of budget data and programs from the period of existing ... -
Learning from community forestry experience: Challenges and lessons from British Columbia
(The Forestry Chronicle, 2009)A multiple case study approach is used to investigate community forest implementation challenges in British Columbia, Canada. Stakeholder interviews, document review and visits to the case sites (Denman Island, Malcolm ... -

Preparing for and Responding to Disturbance: Examples from the Forest Sector in Sweden and Canada
(Forests, 2011)Coping or adaptation following large-scale disturbance may depend on the political system and its preparedness and policy development in relation to risks. Adaptive or foresight planning is necessary in order to account ... -
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 ...
