Mosses are currently not included in the forest C stock accounting of large-scale national models used by Canada to meet int ernational greenhouse gas reporting requirements. It is therefore essentia l to increase our scientific understanding of the dynamics of moss-C accum ulation in black spruce forest ecosystems in a national-scale context. \nT his thesis was inspired by Canada’s national-scale carbon accounting model \, the Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forest Sector (CBM-CFS3).  The overall objective is to improve scientific understanding of the C dynamics of mosses in black spruce-dominated forests from the perspective of inclu ding them in nationally-scaled models such as the CBM-CFS3. \nEveryone in the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ community is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense. Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our PhD candidates.
