The influence of habitat alteration is widespread, but the impact of climate cannot continue to be discounted
Resource
This is a letter to the editor in response to a previous letter to the editor. In Dickie et al. (2024), we contrasted the effects of climate and habitat alteration on white-tailed deer density...
The Influence of Habitat Alteration on Density of Invading White-tailed Deer Should not be Discounted
Resource
This is a letter to the editor responding to an earlier article. Growing white-tailed deer populations in Canada's boreal forest are linked to declines of threatened boreal caribou populations. Recent...
The Influence of Operational Sex Ratio on the Intensity of Competition in Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) during Rut: An Experimental Approach
Resource
We examined how manipulating operational sex ratio (OSR: the ratio of reproductively active males to fertilizable females), could affect the intensity of competition in reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus)...
The Influence of Postfire Recovery and Environmental Conditions on Boreal Vegetation
Resource
Climate change is increasing the frequency and extent of fires in the boreal biome of North America. These changes can alter the recovery of both canopy and understory vegetation. There is uncertainty...

The Multisource Vegetation Inventory (MVI): A Satellite-Based Forest Inventory for the Northwest Territories Taiga Plains
Resource
Wall-to-wall 30 m raster maps of broad forest type, stand height, crown closure, stand volume, total volume, aboveground biomass, and stand age were created for a ~400,000 km2 area, validated with independent data, and generalized into a polygon GIS layer resembling a traditional FI map. The MVI project showed that a reasonably accurate FI map for large, remote, predominantly non-inventoried boreal regions can be obtained at a low cost by combining limited field data with remote sensing data from multiple sources.
