The footprint left by infrastructure and equipment can create different challenges for establishing vegetation. The best site preparation method depends on the limiting factors present.

Canada’s forests play an important role in the global carbon cycle. Forests exchange carbon dioxide with the atmosphere through the processes of photosynthesis, respiration, and decomposition. The...

With climate change, Canada’s forests will be exposed to rapid changes in their environment, including variations in temperature and precipitation. Tree species will have to migrate to find the...

Globally, forests play a significant natural role, as they absorb and sequestrate carbon that would otherwise end up in the atmosphere. This carbon sequestration mitigates the phenomenon commonly...

One of the challenges of partial cutting operations is minimizing damage to residual trees. In these types of cuts, large pieces of forestry equipment must be manoeuvred in somewhat confined spaces...
