A video highlighting the major tools to help foresters and tree planters determine what to plant, where to plant, and how to plant. For additional information, please visit the CFS website, the OSTR...

Forests and wood products are an important part of Canada’s climate change policy measures and commitments. Understanding the contribution of the forest sector to the carbon cycle is important and...

A video that describes the recent trends in fire behavior in forest landscapes. The talk also discusses changes in forest landscapes and climate over the last 45 years. A PDF of the PowerPoint...

Peatlands store organic carbon available for decomposition and transfer to neighboring water bodies, which can ultimately generate carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane (CH 4) emissions. The objective of...

Abstract Background Social network analysis of animal societies allows scientists to test hypotheses about social evolution, behaviour, and dynamic processes. However, the accuracy of estimated...

This infographic provides an overview of the Adaptive Silviculture for Climate Change research study at the Petawawa Research Forest.

A short, 9 min video describing the Adaptive Silviculture for Climate Change (ASCC) study at the Petawawa Research Forest. The ASCC project is a large-scale collaborative effort to establish a series...

In many regions, a tradeoff exists between draining wetlands to support the expansion of agricultural land, and conserving wetlands to maintain their valuable ecosystem services. Decisions about...

Boreal peatland restoration through partial removal of an oil and gas well pad Murdoch McKinnon, University of Waterloo Peatlands cover over 30% of the landscape on Canada’s Western Boreal Plains...

Climate-induced northward advance of boreal forest is expected to lessen albedo, alter carbon stocks, and replace tundra, but where and when this advance will occur remains largely unknown. Using data...

Abstract The health of wildlife plays a crucial role in population demography by connecting habitat and physiology. Southern mountain caribou, a population of woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus...

Abstract Abundance estimation is frequently an objective of conservation and monitoring initiatives for threatened and other managed populations. While abundance estimation via capture–mark–recapture...
