Evaluation of controlled fertilization for the enhancement of waterfowl populations in eastern shield landscapes / J.Bruce Pollard.

By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextPublication details: NS : 2000. Ducks Unlimited Canada,Description: 9 p. ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: Inland wetlands in Atlantic Canada are generally considered acid sensitive (Environment Canada 1991), nutrient poor (Underwood et al.1986) and generally exhibit low primary and secondary productivity. If food resources limit waterfowl breeding success or brood production in these habitats (Longcore et al. 1998; Parker 1992, Stacier et al.,1994), it is hypothesized that by stimulating aquatic productivity,mangers could enhance regional duck population. Similar techniques have been employed with considerable success in increasing fish yield in North America and elsewhere (e.g., Fox, 1992; Johnson et al. 1999).
