Movement of water in the hydrologic cycle is a research field with wide implications on all parts of nature. Therefore, a detailed knowledge of its processes can benefit research and applications in other fields. Especially climate science and its prediction can profit from adva…
It is common for producers to utilize small grain companion crops when establishing perennial grasses and legumes, but research has historically focused on the use of small grain companion crops on the establishment of legumes. A study was established at three locations across N…
This dissertation consists of six distinct research studies that are broadly classified into two parts. The first part is concerned with the application of emerging data analysis tools rooted in causal inference, nonlinear chaotic dynamical systems, and information theory to det…
The Little Theatre Movement, an amateur grass-roots theatre movement, in Canadahas often been regarded by historians as a “stepping-stone” in the greater culturalnationalist theatre history. As a result, women’s roles in this amateur theatre have eitherbeen ignored by scholars o…
Mammalian carnivores play complex and sometimes keystone roles in structuring terrestrial ecosystems and facilitating biodiversity by driving trophic cascades that link predators to prey to plant communities. Carnivores have emerged as excellent ecological models that provide ev…
Urban Water Security (UWS) will remain a hugely important issue over the next decades and is a matter that will be exacerbated by climate change and related hazards, food insecurity and social instability. Despite attempts made by many researchers and water professionals to stud…
The UN has designated 2021-2030 the decade of restoration, reflecting a global recognition that our planet is changing so rapidly that conservation alone is not enough, and we must restore some of the ecosystems we have lost. Ecosystems, however, are extremely complex and thus f…
Understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics of soil water and crop water stress within a field is critical for effective Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) management. Proper VRI can result in improved protection of the crop from early onset of crop water stress while minimizing…
