(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& ...
-
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, ...
-
(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, 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, 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 ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary’s University, 2012)Six years of research and experience with restoring Bay of Fundy (Nova Scotia) salt marshes have shown that salt marsh plant species can colonize readily without planting, if the barriers to tidal flow are removed and ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)Green roofs, also known as vegetated roofs, have been shown to provide a wide range of environmental benefits in urban areas. However, runoff from green roofs may contain soil nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, as ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)Pollinators provide an important service to ecosystems worldwide. This includes Sable Island, located in the North Atlantic Ocean ~160 km offshore Nova Scotia. Two plant communities on Sable Island, heath and marram ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)Pollinators that visit croplands rely on adjacent ecosystems to provide essential resources such as pollen, nectar and nesting habitat. However, the relative amount of pollination services associated with different types ...
