Literature pertaining to the impact of forest pests on timber productivity in the prairie provinces and Northwest Territories is reviewed. The discussion of impact is largely confined to growth loss...

Viability of black spruce ( Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) seeds after dispersal in nature or by man may be a crucial factor affecting regeneration of the species on boreal forest seedbeds. Some...

Projections of future climate were selected for four well-established general circulation models (GCMs) forced by each of three greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions scenarios recommended by the...

Many options have been proposed to adapt forest management to the effects of climate change. One of these options, assisted migration of tree species, is now being explored by forest managers. Forests...
