Air samples collected in the Canadian Prairies showed the presence of several currently used herbicides such as triallate, 2,4-D, dicamba, bromoxynil, MCPA, and trifluralin. While triallate was identified to be influenced by local sources, the other herbicides identified in air were thought to be due to regional atmospheric transport [88]. 

This complements to various examples in the present review (Figures 14.6, 14.8, 14.11,14.14, and 14.17) as well as in other papers (Kalbitz et al., 2003 Marschner et al., 2008) and confirms that the thermal properties as determined by Py-FIMS are a universal indicator of resistance to microbial decomposition. Furthermore, it could be concluded that heterocyclic N compounds form an important pool in Canadian prairie soil that was enriched by pedogenesis and cultivation and that may have a currently unknown contribution to the N nutrition of plants (Leinweber et al., 2008b).

I recently calculated that in my home province of Ontario growing degree days may increase by 10 to 25 per cent by 2050 AD, with a net increase in the growing season of five to seven weeks (Hare, 1982). This would allow the penetration of typical corn belt agriculture into southern areas of Ontario. On the Canadian Prairies, now dominated by spring wheat-barley-oilseeds cultivation, winter wheat might become the dominant crop. These gains would, however, be lost if rainfall failed to make up for the increased water demands that are implied. 

Nevertheless there are limits to adaptation. Over the Canadian Prairies, and in Soviet Asia, for example, a northward migration of spring wheat cultivation may be difficult or impossible, because of adverse soil conditions. In fact there will everywhere be a protracted delay in bringing climate, soil and vegetation into a new equilibrium. The resulting misfit may have adverse economic consequences in many places. 

Cool temperatures during the 10-25 days after flowering are the main cause for higher amounts of linolenic acid in flax oils (14). For the same reason, flaxseed grown in the Canadian prairies, northern latimde, produce oils with higher levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids and lower contributions of oleic acid and samrated fatty acids. This phenomenon was also observed for other oilseeds such as sunflower, canola, and soybean (7, 13, 14). Similarly, a wide variation in fatty acid composition in Australian flaxseed samples was observed 13-25% of 18 1 and 46-64% of 18 3 (6).

In the space of 30 years since the crop was first produced on the Canadian Prairies, Canada achieved the distinction of becoming both the world s largest producer and exporter of rapeseed. For the first 20 years, rapeseed held a very uncertain place in the field crop plans of western producers. Producers pursued an in-and-out pattern of production, but since 1965 this new oilseed crop of the prairie regions has secured a permanent place in Canadian agriculture.

A B. carinata crop platform can meet or exceed many of the targets for sustainable agriculture for the Canadian Prairies (Taylor et al., 2010a). It is well suited to the drier southern regions of Western Canada, and the addition of this new crop platform adds genetic diversity. Brassica carinata requires fewer inputs due to natural resistance to drought and blackleg it is more robust in its... 

The origin of flax lies in sonthem Europe, the Near East, or Central Asia (Tamtnes, 1925 Helbaek, 1959 Zeven, 1982). There is evidence of flax use in Neolithic cultures as a source of fiber. Flax fiber was identified in prehistoric sites in Israel and Syria (van Zeist and Bakker-Heeres, 1975). Flax was grown in Egypt between 4500 and 4000 BC and reached Switzerland by around 3000 BC it was found somewhat later at WiUium Hill in England (Smith, 1969). It is believed that Lois Hebert, the first farmer in Canada, introduced flax to Canada almost 400 years ago (Prairie Flax Products, 2007). By 1875, European settlers were growing flax on the Canadian prairies. 

Weiss, 1993), representing an alternative for a high-LA oil seed production in climate conditions from the Canadian Prairies and northern Europe. Further improvement of low-ALA flax varieties include enhancing the feeding quality of the meal and reducing saturated fatty acid content.
