Aspen sucker production from root fragments was 3X higher at salvage/placement depth of 40 cm compared to 15 cm. Successful suckering occurred in root fragments with little damage in upper 20 cm soil

Canada has 76 native willow species distributed across every region of the country. Willows are usually among the first species to appear following disturbance and can survive on low-fertility sites...

Both aspen and spruce grew on sites with very high salinity and pH deeper in the soil profile (i.e., 40-100cm), so long as surface soils were not highly saline and had adequate moisture and nutrients.

Tailings sand sites: fine root biomass decreased with depth and proximity to the textural interface. Overburden sites: fine root biomass decreased abruptly at the textural interface and EC increased

Annosus root and butt rot was first reported in Quebec in 1989. The causal fungus enters a pine stand by colonizing the surface of freshly cut stumps. The disease spreads through contact between the...
