Annosus Root and Butt Rot Caused by Heterobasidion Irregular in Pines
Resource
Annosus root and butt rot appeared in Quebec relatively recently and its progression still seems to be fairly limited. However, the capacity of this disease to spread over long distances and the value...
Annual Aboveground Carbon Uptake Enhancements from Assisted Gene Flow in Boreal Black Spruce Forests Are Not Long-Lasting
Resource
Assisted gene flow between populations has been proposed as an adaptive forest management strategy that could contribute to the sequestration of carbon. Here we provide an assessment of the mitigation...
Aperçu des blessures des arbres
Resource
Technology Transfer Notes are a new series of publications focusing on forestry research applications. Technology Transfer Notes offer new techniques, methods, tools and procedures, and deliver...
Applications of Simulation-Based Burn Probability Modelling: A Review
Resource
Wildland fire scientists and land managers working in fire-prone areas require spatial estimates of wildfire potential. To fulfill this need, a simulation-modelling approach was developed whereby...

Natural Climate Solutions for Canada Presented by Pascal Badiou, Ducks Unlimited Canada and Ronnie Drever, Nature United Alongside the steep reductions needed in fossil fuel emissions, natural climate...
Are Climates in Canada and the United States Suitable for the European Spruce Bark Beetle, Ips typographus, and its Fungal Associate, Endoconidiophora polonica?
Resource
Invasions of exotic forest insects and pathogens can devastate evolutionarily naïve habitats and could cause irreversible changes to urban and natural ecosystems. Given the ever-increasing volume of...
Assessing Ecological Recovery of Reclaimed Well Sites: A Case Study From Alberta, Canada
Resource
Empirical evaluations of reclamation success are critical for understanding the speed of ecosystem recovery and improving best practices. In this study, we provide a quantitative evaluation of the...
Assessing Peatland Restoration Success to Meet Alberta’s Peatland Reclamation Criteria
Resource
We conducted a full peatland assessment using the new criteria on a restored well pad near Peace River, Alberta. In 2012, mineral overburden was removed along with geo-textile and the buried peat was...
Assessing Post-harvest Interim Seed Storage Conditions: A Case Study of Four Boreal Plant Species
Resource
The longevity of seeds in storage is modulated by the initial quality as well as the storage conditions.

Assessing the Climate Suitability and Potential Economic Impacts of Oak Wilt in Canada
Resource
Oak wilt is a disease that kills oak trees and is caused by a fungus named Bretziella fagacearum. Though not currently found in Canada, our distribution models indicate that suitable climate...
Assessing the Impact of Fine-Scale Structure on Predicting Wood Fibre Attributes of Boreal Conifer Trees and Forest Plots
Resource
Information about wood fibre attributes (WFA) is important for optimizing forest resource management and increasing the competitiveness of the sector. Many factors influence WFA at both the plot (e.g...
Assessing the Influence of Climate on the Growth Rate of Boreal Tree Species in Northeastern Canada Through Long Term Permanent Sample Plot Datasets
Resource
Climate has a considerable influence on tree growth. Forest managers benefit from the empirical study of the historic relationship between climatic variables and tree growth to support forest...
Assessing the Long-term Economic Interactions between Industrial Forestry Activities, Non-renewable Resource Extraction and Caribou Recovery
Resource
There is an existing gap in knowledge on the economic impacts of caribou recovery measures on forestry activities and non-renewable resource extraction. To address this knowledge gap, this project...
Assessing the Long-term Ecosystem Productivity Benefits and Potential Impacts of Forests Re-established on a Mine Tailings Site
Resource
It can be really hard to get plants and trees to grow on former mine sites, especially if the soil is contaminated by the mining waste material, which is called tailings. In an area of mine tailings...
Assessment of Potential for Remote Sensing Detection of Bark Beetle-Infested Areas During Green Attack: A Literature Review
Resource
Changes observed in the foliage of trees killed by bark beetles are usually described in terms of stages that have been related to a specific timeframe. The “green attack” stage is the period of time...
Atténuation des effets des infestations d’insectes et aménagement durable des forêts
Resource
Insect outbreaks are natural and recurring disturbances that have a greater impact on wood-fibre supply than wildfires. Proactive rather than reactive management strategies provide the best...
Augmentation anticipée des risques de feu dans l’interface humain-forêt
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...
