Forest biomass is the second-largest renewable energy resource in Canada, representing a major pool in the global carbon budget, but better estimates of forest biomass are needed. In the 1980s...

Over the past 15 years, selective cutting prescriptions have been applied by forest operations in southeastern British Columbia as part of a strategy to reduce landscape-level susceptibility to damage...

The New Brunswick Gene Conservation Working Group was formed in 1997. The goal of the group is to develop gene conservation strategies for native New Brunswick trees and shrubs. The first step in...

Three experimental forest drainage sites were established in Alberta’s boreal forest to determine the effects of lowered water tables on soils, local hydrology, ground vegetation composition and tree...

This study examined the effects of nursery rearing in an array of 51 individual fabricated frames that supported a range of six growing cell sizes at 11 plant spacings in all possible combinations. A...

This report is a review of published literature on calcareous soils and their role in the productivity of coniferous forests in southwestern British Columbia and western Alberta. Definitions, origins...

Soil disturbance from forest harvesting has been shown to compromise site productivity. We established satellite trials in five of the Long-Term Soil Productivity (LTSP) sites in southeast British...

Over the next several decades, the climate in Canadian forests will shift northward at a rate that will likely exceed the ability of individual tree species to migrate. While most tree species can...

The primary response to the present mountain pine beetle (MPB) epidemic has focused on salvaging beetle-killed wood while it remains economically viable, and developing methods for reducing the spread...
