Remote sensing has developed into an omnipresent technology in the scientific field of forestry and is also increasingly used in an operational fashion. However, the pace and level of uptake of remote...

This book chapter addresses how future forests will be shaped, in large part, by tree responses to climate change via mortality, migration, and adaptation. The authors first demonstrate the strong...

The industrial footprint of oil and gas extraction in Alberta, Canada dissects the landscape in a network of linear and polygonal disturbances such as roads and well pads. The changes to biotic and...

Airborne laser scanning (ALS) data has been widely used for total aboveground tree biomass (AGB) modelling, however, there is less research focusing on estimating specific tree biomass components...

Forest disturbances such as wildfires can dramatically alter forest structure and composition, increasing the likelihood of ecosystem changes. Up-to-date and accurate measures of post-disturbance...

This fibre fact provides an overview of what forest compensatory growth is and how the TreeCG model can be used to detect and plan for compensatory growth within a forest stand.

The effectiveness of a soil conservation method employed on recent major pipeline construction in Western Canada was investigated. Prior to any major construction activities, topsoil was salvaged over...

During the 1980's, the impact of frequent droughts and consequent erosion of topsoil by the wind have become of increasing concern to the agricultural community of southern Alberta. This paper...

Factors affecting native species invasion were studied on a subalpine minesite (Smoky River Coal Limited No. 8 Mine) in the vicinity of Grande Cache, Alberta. The site had been revegetated with...

Four solum and subsoil materials from Alberta were treated to determine if soil aggregation and aggregate strength could be increased to reduce succeptibility to soil compaction. Each soil was treated...
