\"SaraAquatic environments in farmland are important for supporting local biodiversity, and performing important functions such as nutrient retention, flood control, and mitigation of chemical contamination. Data is currently lacking on how management of the terrestrial environment influences these valuable systems. <\/span><\/p>\n

The purpose of my research is to identify agricultural landscape patterns and local management practices that support biodiversity and mitigate agrichemical contamination in farmland aquatic habitats in eastern Ontario.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

It is currently unknown how biodiversity in general can be enhanced by altering landscape pattern within farming systems, and studies addressing such questions have been suggested to be high priority in conservation biology. The results of my research will identify agricultural regimes and landscape patterns that support aquatic communities on farms. Recommendations on how best to manage these systems will be derived from results.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
