The Challenges and Opportunities Associated with Climate Change for First Nations Living in the Canadian Subarctic
(University of Waterloo, 2017-06-29)Background: The impacts of climate change are more pronounced in high latitude regions of the world, which includes the Canadian arctic and subarctic. Warming events are triggering widespread ecological and social impacts ... -
Determining the Drivers of Spatial and Temporal Variation in Soil Greenhouse Gas Emissions from a Rehabilitated and Undisturbed Natural Riparian Forest in Southern Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-26)As the interface between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, riparian zones have been shown to provide extensive ecosystem services, particularly with respect to improved water quality, carbon sequestration, and wildlife ... -
The Effect of Fertilizer Application on Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Willow Short Rotation Coppice Systems in Southern Ontario, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-27)Willow (Salix spp.) short-rotation coppice (SRC) systems on marginal lands are effective at providing carbon (C) neutral bioenergy. However, nitrogen (N) fertilizer application, used to enhance aboveground biomass productivity, ... -
Evaluating intercropping systems as a sustainable agroecosystem alternative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
(University of Waterloo, 2018-02-21)Sole crops are commonly used in the most productive agricultural area in Argentina, the Pampas, and represent the biggest land-area in the country, and the most responsible for the release of greenhouse gas emissions to ... -
Exploring the Feasibility of Enhancing Indigenous Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Communities for Sustainable Soybean Production in northern Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-31)Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi have been widely recognized as a promising approach to attain sustainability in the agricultural industry. These fungi have been known to offer numerous benefits to crops and have been ... -
The impact of biobased residues on soil health and greenhouse gas emissions under a changing climate
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-12)The disposal of organic wastes in landfills and applying nitrogen fertilizers to agricultural land cause multiple environmental issues. However, recycling organic wastes, e.g., biobased residues for agricultural use, is ... -
Investigating Food Waste Diversion and Compost Use in Urban Agriculture for Soil Management in Mwanza, Tanzania
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-16)African countries are urbanizing at a rapid rate. Studies on African agriculture have focused on rural food production, but research on urban agriculture may be key to ensuring urban food and soil security. In this ... -
Quantifying Aquatic Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics and Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Potential in Riparian Agroforestry Zones
(University of Waterloo, 2023-03-27)Agricultural intensification in Canada has led to a loss of riparian areas, which has resulted in the degradation of freshwater aquatic ecosystems due to an increasing amount of fertilizer and nutrients being introduced ... -
Temporal Variation in Greenhouse Gas Emissions Among Four Different Riparian Land-use Types in Southern Ontario, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-13)Forested riparian buffers (RBs) provide various environmental services, such as reducing streambank erosion and sedimentation, creating wildlife habitat, enhancing carbon (C) sequestration, enhancing streamside microclimate, ...
