CLBMON-35 Arrow Lakes and Kinbasket Reservoirs plant response to inundation
Author: V.C. Hawkes, T.G. Gerwing, P. Gibeau
CLBMON-35 catalogues revegetation treatments applied in the drawdown zones of Arrow Lakes and Kinbasket Reservoirs, documenting the biotic and abiotic factors that may contribute to the success or failure of each revegetation type. Species-specific responses to reservoir operations were assessed in Kinbasket and Arrow Lakes Reservoir. Four species (Carex lenticularis var. lipocarpa, Carex aperta, Scirpus atrocinctus and Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa) were selected for analyses as they were used extensively in revegetation programs. This study aimed to examine the association between inundation regime and its effect on growing degree days and plant communities in the drawdown zone using regression trees, general linear mixed models and Wald tests.
