Economic Impacts of Short Rotation Woody Crops in Canada
Resource
Canada is seeking cost-effective means to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, particularly CO2. One of the promising means is the short rotation woody crops (SRWC) plantation, a silvicultural approach...
Effect of Seed Production and Soil Scarification on the Natural Regeneration of a Second-Growth Fir Stand in the Lower St. Lawrence Region
Resource
This study examines the relationship between seed production, soil scarification and seedling establishment in balsam fir ( Abies balsamea [L.] Mill.) and white spruce ( Picea glauca [Moench] Voss)...
Effects of Cell Size and Spacing on Root Density and Field Performance of Container-Reared Black Spruce
Resource
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...
Effects of Harvesting Methods on Soil Properties and Forest Productivity in Interior British Columbia
Resource
Seven treatment units in three different clearcut blocks in the Golden Forest District were studied to assess overall soil disturbance levels resulting from ground-based harvesting using two methods...
Effects of Partial Cutting on the Incidences of Tree Wounding, Microbial Succession and Tree Mortality
Resource
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...
Effects of Removal of the Paperpot Container on Growth and Development of Black Spruce Seedlings on a Drained Peatland Clearcut in Northeastern Ontario
Resource
This report discusses the results of a study of 60 black spruce ( Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) paperpot seedlings, of which half were planted with the paper container removed. Planting was done on a...
Effects of Silvicultural Systems and Vegetation Control on Tree Growth in a Coastal Montane Ecosystem: Seven Year Results
Resource
Technology Transfer Notes are a series of publications focusing on forestry research applications. Technology Transfer Notes offer new techniques, methods, tools and procedures, and deliver research...
Enhancing Forest Recovery Monitoring With Remote Sensing
Resource
Learn how remote sensing and freely available datasets can help advance forest monitoring and management activities.
Ensuring Long-Term Productivity of Forest Ecosystems
Resource
One of the goals of forest management is to sustain site productivity so that repeated harvests can be undertaken without loss in growth potential. Canada promotes the development of sustainable...
Environmental Effects on Host Selection and Dispersal of Mountain Pine Beetle
Resource
We investigated the influence of landscape heterogeneity on processes that could influence the dispersal of mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae. Host tree quality, as measured by tree...
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...
Factors Contributing to the Cultural and Spatial Variability of Landscape Burning by Native Peoples of Interior Alaska
Resource
This article analyzes the geographical extent to which native peoples of Interior Alaska used fire to modify the landscape at the time of European contact. Although wildfire has been central to the...
