(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)Tidal marshes have the ability to sequester and store atmospheric CO2 and thus contribute a valuable ecosystem service. Globally, tidal marshes have declined due to environmental damage and habitat conversion& ...
-
(F1000Research, 2013-12-16)Green roofs are constructed ecosystems that provide ecosystem services in urban environments. Shallow substrate green roofs subject the vegetation layer to desiccation and other environmental extremes, so researchers have ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2013)Nova Scotia’s coastal barrens are comprised predominantly of heathlands, a globally threatened community type. Coastal barrens provide habitat for a number of nationally rare species. Despite their ecological and cultural ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)Green roofs are being introduced and installed in varying climates worldwide to benefit from green roof services. Services of thermal cooling and stormwater capture reduce building energy consumption and strain on ...
-
A comparison of native and novel ecosystems : green roof impacts on plant growth and pest abundance (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)There is little research that supports the potential of green roofs to provide biodiversity similar to ground-level habitat. This study examined three hypotheses. (1) Due to the similarities in environmental stresses, ...
-
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015-09-08)Green infrastructure consists of ecosystems that provide valuable services to urban areas. Constructed ecosystems, including green roofs, bioretention systems, constructed wetlands and bioreactors are artificial, custom-built ...
-
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-10-28)Environmental heterogeneity is among the most important factors governing community structure. Besides the widespread evidence supporting positive relationships between richness and environmental heterogeneity, negative ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2020)Habitat loss and fragmentation caused by urban expansion are commonly believed to be drivers of insect pollinator decline. Green roofs within urban landscapes are expected to mitigate the effects of urbanization by providing ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2018)Spatially varying environments are expected to provide more niche breadth than homogeneous areas, and should thus support a larger number of plant species. The observed sample area, or spatial scale, can also influence the ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2013)This thesis analyzed various approaches in order to improve plant survival and increase species diversity on an extensive green roof. Three different techniques were used: heterogeneous soil depth, interspecies facilitation ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2015)Green roofs are increasingly recognised as a sustainable option for reducing building energy demand. However, given the large investment required for their construction, accurate modelling methods are needed to predict ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)Extensive green roofs offer the opportunity to grow plant species that are being lost due to urbanization. With shallow substrate that is low in organic matter and highly erodible, green roofs are a difficult environment ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)Helping Nature Heal Inc. has developed plant-based methods for coastal erosion management that can be classified as Living Shorelines. These Living Shorelines have been used in Nova Scotia for over a decade and appear to ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)Introduction: I investigate several key knowledge gaps and inconsistencies observed in coexistence literature, specifically gaps associated with spatial heterogeneity, functional trait divergence, and the storage ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2009)Coastal barrens are relatively open areas consisting of sparse tree cover and are dominated by shrubby vegetation, primarily from the Ericaceae family. These habitats are generally found within a forest matrix and may ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)Green roofs provide ecosystem services that help humans in urban environments. Ecosystem services provided by green roofs include reducing storm water run-off, better regulation of building temperatures, reduced heat flux ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2015)Green roofs have a number of realized benefits including reducing stormwater runoff, saving building energy costs, and reducing the urban heat island effect. However, more research is needed to understand the effects of ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2010)Green roofs are increasing substantially in urban areas because they contribute to numerous environmental, social and economic benefits while occupying unused city space. This study has two objectives: to quantify the ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)Though green roofs offer an integrated response to urban issues, no designs that promote seedling survival and diversity have been investigated, and few studies have quantified the relationship between green roof resources ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)There is a lack of research on the pollinator communities of flowering plant species within coastal barren habitats. This study examined four closely related plant species in the Ericaceae that have a similar flower ...
