A rare ecosystem has survived an ice age, but can it survive humans?
Researcher Dr. Gerardo Reyes is Working to Protect Alvar Landscapes
Ecologist Dr. Gerardo Reyes's curiosity has been captured by alvars—a habitat found in only a few places around the globe.
These unusual and biodiverse landscapes are characterized by exposed limestone bedrock and a patchwork of thin mineral-rich soils.
"Alvars are relics," says Dr. Reyes, a Lakehead Orillia Biology and Sustainability Sciences associate professor.
"They've remained virtually unchanged since the last ice age 12,000 years ago."
Dr. Reyes is a population and community ecologist focused on species conservation, socioecological resilience, and the scholarship of teaching and learning.
Dr. Reyes and his research team want to develop sustainable grazing practices to balance the needs of agriculture with the conservation of alvar ecosystems.
They're doing this through fieldwork analyzing the vegetation and abundance of alvar species and by mapping land use over time.
Endangered Species Thrive in Alvars
In the spring the alvars flood, in the summer they sizzle through drought, and the rest of the year they crack and heave with frost.
Much of the vegetation found in alvars is a mishmash of what would normally grow in alpine, grassland, or arctic conditions.
Trees such as white birch can grow in the fissures of alvars, provided enough soil and moisture is retained. Trees also deepen the fissures through root development. The microhabitats they help create can maintain vegetation cover during the drought periods of late summer.
Alvars are also the home of rare and endangered plants, as well as plant species that have been separated from other populations of the same species found further north or south.
Despite the rarity of alvars, Dr. Reyes doesn't have to venture far from his doorstep to study them.
Remarkably, 75% of the world's alvars are found in Ontario.
The Carden Plain, around the Kawartha Lakes region, is the site of Dr. Reyes's research.
It's there that native fauna including the juniper hairstreak butterfly and the bobolink songbird flit among dwarf lake iris, tiny mousetail, and juniper sedge.
Beardtongue plant (Penstemon hirsutus) is a drought-tolerant native perennial that attracts native checkerspot butterflies and many bee pollinators, making it important for maintaining biodiversity.
Not surprisingly, areas like the Carden Plain are a popular spot for birders and nature lovers.
They are attracting unwelcome visitors, too, which concerns Dr. Reyes.
He says that the Carden Plain is under pressure from urban development, quarrying, livestock grazing, off-road vehicle use, and invasive species.
Can cows help save this fragile habitat?
Dr. Reyes—along with Biology and Sustainability Sciences professor Dr. Nanda Kanavillil and graduate student Brandon Guoth—are taking a closer look at these pressures, particularly at how cattle grazing affects this unique environment.
Dr. Reyes and Lakehead sustainability sciences students (left to right): Avi Balroop, Mateo Velasco, Emily De Geus, Holland Dunlop, and Mika Mackay. Emily and Holland are members of Dr. Reyes's alvar research team.
A portion of the Carden Plain is owned by conservation groups who lease it to ranchers so that groups of 50 to 100 head of cattle can graze there in the spring and early summer.
"We're trying to determine what level of grazing is okay to maintain biodiversity and natural conditions," Dr. Reyes says.
"At what point is it too many cattle for too long a period of time?"
Cattle may stop trees from encroaching on open alvar habitat. This could conserve grassland habitat for at-risk bird species like the bobolink and the eastern meadowlark.
One negative effect may be that the cattle are inadvertently spreading invasive species—or aggressive native species—by scattering seeds as they walk or via their droppings.
On the other hand, cattle grazing may protect alvars by enriching the soil and maintaining its open grassland structure and plant diversity.
Taking Action to Safeguard Biodiversity
Dr. Reyes's alvar research is a newer field of study for him, but it connects with his commitment to socioecological resilience.
"Historically, I've worked mostly in forests," Dr. Reyes explains.
"I study the impacts of harvesting practices such as clear-cutting and partial cutting on forest regeneration and look for ways to better manage our forest resources.
Alvars are a different ecosystem, but they face the same issue—trying to make sure that natural resource use is carried out in a sustainable way.
We want to ensure that we're stewards of our resources."
Dr. Reyes and Dr. Kanavilil's alvar research has received funding from Lakehead's Office of Research Services, the City of Orillia, and private donors. Research team member Brandon Guoth also received funding from the Orillia Fish and Game Conservation Club.
$2-Million Gift From Joyce Family Foundation Expands Access to Education at Lakehead University
A $2-million gift from the Joyce Family Foundation will help more students access a Lakehead University education, removing financial barriers and opening doors to opportunity.
The gift will establish The Joyce Family Foundation Bursary, an endowed fund that will provide three bursaries of $22,000 ($5,500 payable per year for four years) per year and directly benefit students who face financial challenges. The first bursaries will be given out in September 2026.
"The Joyce Family Foundation Bursary is a door-opening opportunity that removes the financial barriers standing between students and their ambitions,” said Lakehead President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Gillian Siddall. “As an access institution, we are thrilled that each year three Lakehead students will have the support of this bursary so they can focus on their studies and achieve their goals rather than worry about financial stress."
On average, 95 per cent of Lakehead’s domestic student population faces barriers to attending university, such as financial need or being the first generation in a family to pursue post-secondary education. Support from donors helps bridge the gap between provincial student grants and loans and the financial needs of students.
Today’s investment builds on a decade-long relationship between Lakehead University and The Joyce Family Foundation, grounded in a shared commitment to improving access to postsecondary education and supporting student success.
“The Joyce Family Foundation is honoured to continue Ron Joyce’s legacy of investing in young people,” said Rob MacIsaac, Chair of the Foundation. “This bursary program at Lakehead University affirms our shared belief that every student deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute to their community.”
Anchored by this transformative leadership gift, Lakehead is kicking off a fundraising initiative to raise $10 million for scholarships, bursaries, and awards over the next five years. With more than $2.6 million already raised, President Siddall explained that the campaign will not only ease financial burden, but it will unlock potential.
“When we invest in students, we strengthen not only their future, but the future of our communities,” she said.
Lakehead University continues to be recognized as a leader in student support and undergraduate education. Among Ontario universities in the primarily undergraduate category, Lakehead ranked first in student awards, second in scholarships and bursaries, and held its position as Ontario’s top primarily undergraduate university, according to the 2026 Maclean’s University Rankings.
Investments like this help ensure that more students, regardless of financial circumstance, have the opportunity to pursue higher education and reach their full potential. Financial aid also plays a critical role in attracting talent, supporting Indigenous participation, and strengthening communities across Northern Ontario and beyond.
Heat Stress Calculator
OHCOW (Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers Inc.) provides an online calculator to assist in determining an adjusted temperature based on relative humidity, clothing/PPE worn, and work conditions. Using this adjusted humidex, the calculator provides a response table to assist in determining recommended precautionary measures. The calculator can use temperature and relative humidity information from a weather app/the news, but also offers more accurate methods if the temperature/relative humidity can be measured in the work area. Departments with a high risk of workers developing heat related illnesses may want to consider the use of a thermometer or thermal hygrometer to measure accurate temperatures/relative humidity in the work area. These can be purchased for relatively low costs (<$30).
Important Considerations
It is important to recognize that the calculator is a tool to aid workers and supervisors in making informed decisions about working in the heat, but should not be the only item considered when making these decisions. Regardless of what the calculator displays it is important to never ignore symptoms and continue to utilize any mitigation measures that have been put in place. The calculator does not take into account individual attributes that may impact heat tolerance and is an estimate based on the information entered.
Heat Stress Information for Supervisors
Ways to Manage Heat Stress in the Workplace
Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, employers must take every reasonable precaution for the protection of a worker. This includes protecting workers form heat stress, below are several tips to do this:
Plan Ahead to Reduce Heat Stress
Administrative controls such as workplace policies and procedures, scheduling, and training can all help reduce the risk of heat stress. Some examples include:
- Assessing the demands of all jobs and putting a plan in place for hot days and workspaces
- Increasing the frequency and length of rest breaks
- Scheduling strenuous jobs during the cooler times of the day such as in the early morning or late afternoon/night
- Providing cool drinking water near workers
- Remind workers to drink water at least every 15 to 20 minutes
- Cautioning workers to avoid direct sunlight where possible
- Assigning more workers or slowing down the pace of work
- Making sure workers have time to acclimatize to a modified intensity of work
- Training workers to recognize the signs and symptoms of heat stress
- Start a buddy system since people are not likely to notice their own symptoms
- Report any heat-related incidents to Health and Safety
- Know who the designated first aiders are in your work area
- Advise workers who are pregnant or have a medical condition to consult their physician about working in the heat. If needed accommodations should be submitted to Health and Safety.
- Follow approved accommodation plans
Help Workers Adjust to Hot Environments
Having more time to acclimatize to a hot environment, helps workers' bodies handle the heat better. Some workers may need more time to adjust to hot environments if they have certain health conditions or based on individual characteristics.
For new workers with no experience in hot conditions, some tips to help them tolerate heat are:
- Gradually increase the activity level over one to two weeks
- Gradually increase the amount of time spent in hot working conditions
Workers with experience in hot conditions may still need to gradually readjust to the heat if they have been ill or away from work for 9 days or more or at the start of the summer season.
Supervisor Tips
- Supervisors should be constantly monitoring workers for signs that could suggest a risk of illness due to heat stress
- Put up resource posters in your work area
- Go over heat stress information while training new workers
- Encourage workers to wear suitable protective clothing that is breathable if possible
- Report incidents or near misses to Health and Safety immediately through the incident reporting form
- Monitor weather conditions and plan work accordingly
Supervisor Resources
Heat Stress Overview
Working in hot environments puts stress on your body's cooling system. When steps are not taken to mitigate the risk, it can lead to heat-related illness, disability, and even death. This can happen to anyone.
Heat stress can get worse when in combination with:
- Physical work
- Loss of fluids
- Fatigue
- A pre-existing medical condition
Causes of Heat Stress
Factors that can cause heat stress include:
- Working in direct sunlight in the summer months
