Dissolved Oxygen Dynamics in the Dunnville Marsh on the Grand River, Ontario, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2009-02-19)Dissolved oxygen (DO) is one of the most important environmental factors necessary to sustain aquatic life. The Southern Grand River is characterized with extensive marshes. This study focuses on the Dunnville Marsh in ... -
Ecological Assessment of Re-flooded Mesopotamian Marshes (Iraq)
(University of Waterloo, 2015-12-17)Assessing the ecological characteristics (water quality and the biological functions) of the Mesopotamian marshes is necessary to evaluate their recovery. Mesopotamian marshes have been affected by several anthropogenic ... -
Environmental sensitivities of coupled biogeochemical cycles in anoxic conditions: from soil batch experiments to a bioenergetics approach
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-26)The ongoing displacement of climate zones has aggravated warming effects at regions from mid- to high-latitudes, affecting terrestrial organic carbon (C) stores. Amplified effects of warming occurring through the winter ... -
Land Use and Climate Influence Marshes in the Northern Prairie and Parkland Region
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-21)I evaluated the association between waterbird communities and agricultural activity at 48 non-permanent wetlands, and waterbird response to inter-annual climate variation at 24 non-permanent wetlands. I found six distinct ... -
Physicochemical and Vegetative Responses of Prairie Wetlands to Local Land Covers
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-28)Effective environmental monitoring and biological assessment initiatives require knowledge of the spatial and temporal scales at which human activities most strongly influence ecosystem conditions. I compared the environmental ...
