Following the appointment of the new Cabinet, the Forest Sector now reports to the ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts, while the Wildlife and Parks Sectors report to the ministère de l'Environnement, de la Lutte aux changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs. Adjustments will be made to the website over time.

Partitioning the impact of environmental factors on lake concentrations and catchment budgets for base cations in forested ecosystems

Summary

Published in Applied Geochemistry 53: 1-12. Seventy-two forested lake catchments were studied in Quebec (Canada) to examine the influence of climate, atmospheric deposition and catchment characteristics on base cation (BC) concentrations in lake waters (BCC) and base cation budgets at the catchment scale (BCQ). The catchments are located along a bioclimatic gradient in a vast (180000 km2) study area underlained by the Canadian Shield. Multivariate statistical approaches are used to simultaneously assess the effects of multiple environmental factors on cation fluxes (...).
