Genetic diversity and colonization patterns of Onnia tomentosa and Phellinus tremulae (Hymenochaetaceae, Aphyllophorales) in the boreal forest near Thunder Bay, northwestern Ontario
(2016)Forest health is impacted greatly by fungi, particularly those that cause disease in living trees. By examining genetic diversity within populations of pathogenic fungi and their patterns of colonization it is possible to ... -
Genetic variation and adaptation of white birch populations across Canada
(2014-01-22)Trees adapt to local climates, however growing concern surrounding climate change has generated predictions suggesting mass extinction or redistribution of taxa across the landscape. A lack of redistribution will result ... -
Genetic variation of functional traits related to drought tolerance in yellow birch seedlings
(2022)Understanding patterns of variation in drought-related traits of hardwood trees is crucial for conserving and managing North American temperate forests under climate change. In this study, I examined provenance variation ... -
