Étude des menaces et des risques liés aux espèces exotiques envahissantes forestières
Resource
Invasions by alien organisms into new habitats pose one of the most significant global threats to ecosystem biodiversity and serious threats to economies around the globe. Canada, with its vast...
Expected Increased Risks of Wildfires in Canadian Wildland-Human Interface Areas
Resource
With climate change, current research predicts an increase in forest fires in the wildland-human interface or WHI; several inhabited areas will be more at risk in the years to come. Despite this...
Exploring Ecological Change in Western and Northern Canada
Resource
A video exploring the methods that researchers use to access ecological changes in Western Canada (including wildfires). A PDF of the PowerPoint can be found here.
Exploring Opportunities for Mitigating the Ecological Impacts of Current and Future Mountain Pine Beetle Outbreaks Through Improved Planning: A Focus on Northeastern British Columbia
Resource
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...
Factors Affecting the Survival of Immature Lodgepole Pine in the Foothills of West-Central Alberta
Resource
Plots were established to monitor the survival of immature lodgepole pine ( Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm.) in over 70 cutover areas in the subalpine and boreal forest regions of west-central...

Fertilization and Thinning Effects on a Douglas-fir Ecosystem at Shawnigan Lake: 15-year Growth Response
Resource
This report documents the 15-year growth response of a Douglas-fir ( Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb) Franco) stand to thinning and urea fertilization. The initial treatments were carried out when the...
Fertilization and Thinning Effects on a Douglas-Fir Ecosystem at Shawnigan Lake: 32-Year Growth Response
Resource
The Canadian Forest Service’s Shawnigan Lake Project (SLP) main experiment was established in 1971–1972 to study the effects of fertilizing and thinning 24-year-old coastal Douglas-fir ( Pseudotsuga...
Field Performance of Several Tree Species and Stock Types Planted in Montane Forests of Coastal British Columbia
Resource
The need for tree species selection on a site specific basis to regenerate the province’s forests is now recognized throughout British Columbia. However, little research has been done to assess the...
Fifty Years of Landsat Science and Impacts
Resource
Since 1972, the Landsat program has been continually monitoring the Earth, to now provide 50 years of digital, multispectral, medium spatial resolution observations. Over this time, Landsat data were...
Finding Common Ground: Toward Comparable Indicators of Adaptive Capacity of Tree Species to a Changing Climate
Resource
Adaptive capacity, one of the three determinants of vulnerability to climate change, is defined as the capacity of species to persist in their current location by coping with novel environmental...
Fine Root Density Distribution and Biomass in Second- and Third-Growth Douglas-Fir Stands on Vancouver Island, British Columbia
Resource
Fine root and ectomycorrhizal root density and biomass were quantified in 2003 and 2004 by sequential soil coring in a 54-year old second-growth stand and 3- and 14-year-old third-growth stands of...
