This is a report on a symposium that took place 2-3 September 2004. It comprises welcoming addresses from the Assistant Deputy Minister of the Canadian Forest Service and the President of Genome...
Global Fading of the Temperature-Growth Coupling at Alpine and Polar Treelines
Resource
Climate warming is expected to positively alter upward and poleward treelines which are controlled by low temperature and a short growing season. Despite the importance of treelines as a bioassay of...
Going With the Flow: Intraspecific Variation May Act as a Natural Ally to Counterbalance the Impacts of Global Change for the Riparian Species Populus Deltoides
Resource
The speed and magnitude of global change will have major impacts on riparian ecosystems, thereby leading to greater forest vulnerability. Assessing species’ adaptive capacities to provide relevant...
“Good Disturbances” May Help Achieve Reclamation Goals
Resource
Minimal disturbance is an approach to oil and gas development that aims to preserve the attributes of the original site as much as possible during development. Minimal disturbance practices include...
Greening Canada: A Guide to Community Tree Planting
Resource
This manual should be used as a tool to turn enthusiasm for tree planting into hands-on action, helping communities enhance their environment. Ideas for community and individual tree planting...
Ground-Based Wet Weather Yarding Operations in Coastal British Columbia: Effects on Soil Properties and Seedling Growth
Resource
A wet weather ground-based yarding operation was studied to determine the impacts of skidders equipped with low ground pressure and conventional tires on soil physical and chemical properties and...
Grow a Green Future: A Guide for Successful Tree Planting
Resource
Canada is blessed with abundant forests. From the coast of British Columbia to the island of Newfoundland, Canada is home to 347 million hectares of forest. The 2 Billion Trees Program (2BT) is part...

Hardwood Planting on Abandoned Farmland in Southern Ontario: Revised Guide
Resource
"A Guide to Hardwood Planting on Abandoned Farmland in Southern Ontario" was first published in 1979. In the past 10 years, much new knowledge has been gained about species requirements and new...
Harmonizing Multi-Temporal Airborne Laser Scanning Point Clouds to Derive Periodic Annual Height Increments in Temperate Mixedwood Forests
Resource
When combining multi-temporal airborne laser scanning (ALS) data sets, forest height growth assessments can be compromised due to variations in ALS acquisitions. Herein, we demonstrate the importance...
Health of North American Forests
Resource
Forests are environmentally and economically important in North America, and forest health is monitored to enable policy decisions to be made on factors affecting forest health. Forests are subject to...
Hemlock Woolly Adelgid
Resource
The hemlock woolly adelgid ( Adelges tsugae) is an introduced pest of hemlock trees in eastern Canada and the eastern United States. Hemlock woolly adelgid is also present in British Columbia but is a...
High-Resolution Interpolation of Climate Scenarios for Canada Derived from General Circulation Model Simulations
Resource
Projections of future climate were selected for four well-established general circulation models (GCMs) forced by each of three greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions scenarios recommended by the...
How Climate Change Might Affect Tree Regeneration Following Fire at Northern Latitudes: A Review
Resource
Climate change is projected to increase fire severity and frequency in the boreal forest, but it could also directly affect post-fire recruitment processes by impacting seed production, germination...
How Does Canada Report on Forest GHG Emissions?
Resource
Each year, the Canadian Forest Service (CFS) provides estimates of the amount of carbon in our managed forests and the changes in these amounts over time. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC)...
