The aim of this research is to test a protocol for mycelial inoculation in wood chips. The results of this testing will inform the development of mycelial inoculation protocol that would be effective in lessening soil erosion, potentially improving rates of revegetation and promoting ecosystem resiliency as it relates to logging road activities.
This research aims to test the feasibility of tracking tree nursery assets using radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. By monitoring assets, the research team will gain insights about the potential to integrate RFID tracking to optimize seedling management and transport.
The Dementia Guidelines project will engage with Northern BC communities to gain a stronger understanding of needs and concerns surrounding dementia awareness in this region. Findings will be applied to develop regionally relevant dementia guidelines and educational curricula, especially related to the needs of First Nations persons and communities.
This research engages local post-secondary students and local food growers about student food security on post-secondary campuses. The research will make suggestions about how to best connect on-campus food services with local growers to improve food security for students.
This research examines temporary roadside ponds as a breeding habitat for amphibians, including the western toad (Anaxyrus boreas). Findings will inform about the relationships between artificial ponds created via forest practices, weather, and amphibian breeding behaviour.
This project assesses the meaningfulness of support services and resources that are currently available to students at CNC, as well as student's quality of life, mental health and wellbeing, social supports, perceived level of stress, sources of stress, coping strategies, and resources available to help reduce these stressors.
This research aims to assess seedling growth response to wildfire impact. Findings of the research will inform reforestation and seedling regeneration in areas impacted by wildfires.
