Challenges and Opportunities: Oil Sands Mine Reclamation in the Boreal Forest of Northern Alberta
Resource
Northern Alberta is home to a large reserve of oil sands in the heart of the boreal forest. After mining companies cease operations on a site, they are required to reclaim the land to create...
Challenges of Managing the Emerald Ash Borer: What do Managers Want, and What Can Researchers Tell Them?
Resource
Hundreds of scientific articles and thousands of media reports have been written on the emerald ash borer (EAB) since its discovery in 2002. This incredible mass of information has proved to be...
Challenges of Multi-Temporal and Multi-Sensor Forest Growth Analyses in a Highly Disturbed Boreal Mixedwood Forests
Resource
Airborne laser scanning (ALS) and digital aerial photogrammetry (DAP) have both been demonstrated as reliable sources of information on forest stand inventory attributes. The increasing availability...

Climate Change and Canada's Forests: From Impacts to Adaptation
Resource
Climate change is already affecting Canada’s forests. Current visible effects include changes in the frequency and severity of disturbances (such as fires, drought, severe storms, and damaging insect...
Climate Change and the Bioeconomy: Finding Silviculture Solutions for 21st Century Forests
Resource
This fibre fact provides an overview of how salvage logging can provide an opportuntiy for the forest industry to supply Canada's bioeconomy with wood fibre as well as regenerate a forest.
Climate Change: Response of Black Spruce
Resource
Climate change is an undeniable reality, and the boreal forest's response to accelerated global warming will surely have a major impact on forest ecosystems. The effect that higher concentrations of...
Climate Change Will Affect the Ability of Forest Management to Reduce Gaps Between Current and Presettlement Forest Composition in Southeastern Canada
Resource
Context Forest landscapes at the boreal–temperate ecotone have been extensively altered. Reducing the gap between current and presettlement forest conditions through ecosystem-based forest management...
Climate-informed Forecasts Reveal Dramatic Local Habitat Shifts and Population Uncertainty for Northern Boreal Caribou
Resource
Most research on boreal populations of Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) has been conducted in areas of high anthropogenic disturbance. However, a large portion of the species’ range...
