Overview

Rock Ouimet is affiliated with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in Canada. Their research spans multiple areas within Agricultural and Biological Sciences and Environmental Science, contributing to scientific understanding primarily through studies in soil science, nature and landscape conservation, global and planetary change, ecology, and plant science.

Their work covers diverse topics including soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics, peatlands and wetlands ecology, forest ecology and management, tree-ring climate responses, forest management and policy, bioenergy crop production and management, as well as lichen and fungal ecology.

Some of their recent publications include:

  • Reversal of Forest Soil Acidification in the Northeastern United States and Eastern Canada: Site and Soil Factors Contributing to Recovery (2020), published in Soil Systems
  • Liming still positively influences sugar maple nutrition, vigor and growth, 20 years after a single application (2021), published in Forest Ecology and Management
  • Afforestation of abandoned agricultural lands for carbon sequestration: how does it compare with natural succession? (2022), published in Plant and Soil
  • Wood ash application in sugar maple stands rapidly improves nutritional status and growth at various developmental stages (2021), published in Forest Ecology and Management
  • Canopy Nitrogen Addition and Soil Warming Affect Conifer Seedlings' Phenology but Have Limited Impact on Growth and Soil N Mineralization in Boreal Forests of Eastern Canada (2020), published in Frontiers in Forests and Global Change

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Rock Ouimet include:

  • Louis Duchesne
  • François Guillemette
  • Jean-David Moore
  • Steve Bédard
  • Maxime C. Paré

Rock Ouimet's publications often appear in specialized venues such as:

  • Forest Ecology and Management
  • The Forestry Chronicle

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring Ecology and Evolution can naturally lead to an interest in how living systems impact, and are impacted by, human behavior and society. Many students opt to expand their studies with online degrees in psychology or related fields, which offer flexibility and a variety of career options.

For those seeking quicker entry into advanced studies, accelerated masters psychology programs are a great way to earn a graduate degree in a shorter timeframe. Another popular pathway is an online masters in clinical mental health counseling, which prepares graduates for licensure and impactful careers in community support.

Ecology students interested in the intersection of biology, psychology, and the legal system may find a forensic psychology degree especially relevant. This field combines scientific and investigative skills. Additionally, those passionate about youth development and mental health might consider a child and adolescent psychology masters for specialized expertise.

These diverse online programs open up interdisciplinary career pathways, enhancing your impact as a researcher, practitioner, or advocate across both environmental and social sciences.
