        Modelling barred owl habitat in Northwestern Ontario 

        Van Ael, Susan M. (1996)
        With its large home range, dependence on large decadent trees for nest cavities, and association with mature mixedwoods, the Barred Owl (Strix varia) is vulnerable to habitat loss from forest harvesting. Study objectives ...

        Modelling the radial and longitudinal variation in wood density and its sensitivity to climate in black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) 

        Xiang, Wei (2014-01-22)
        Wood density variation affects structural timber performance and is correlated with different sources (genetic diversity, stand dynamics and climatic effects) which, to date, have not been comprehensively quantified in ...

        Moisture reduction and nutrient retention associated with field-drying forest harvest residues on clearcut sites in Northwestern Ontario, Canada 

        Symonds, Joel T. (2012-11-10)
        The increased utilization of forest harvest residues as supplemental, inexpensive and renewable energy raises two key concerns: 1) continued removal may negatively affect long-term site productivity; and 2) because 50-60% ...

        Natural resource management and Indigenous food systems in Northern Ontario 

        LeBlanc, Joseph William (2014-12-16)
        The forests and freshwaters of Northern Ontario are complex socio-ecological systems that have provided opportunities to sustain local lives, economies, and cultures since time immemorial. Through nation-to-nation ...

        Nesting dynamics of the scarlet ibis (Eudocimus ruber) in Trinidad, West Indies 

        Samayah, Dave (2009)
        The effect of human disturbance on colonial waterbirds is a global issue. Many colonial waterbirds are migratory, and their protection depends on balancing conservation of their habitats and habits across many regions. ...

        Past and future impacts of climate change on boreal forest timber supply 

        Brecka, Aaron (2018)
        The boreal forest is home to a thriving forest industry which requires stable, long term timber to remain viable. Anthropogenic climate change, caused by the release of greenhouse gasses, is occurring rapidly in northern ...

        Patterns and mechanisms of epiphytic macrolichen and abundance, diversity and composition in boreal forest 

        Bartels, Samuel Fiifi (2014-12-11)
        Epiphytes are important components of the forest ecosystem, but the mechanisms that control epiphyte diversity are not clear. Epiphytes are sensitive to disturbance, but their responses to stand-replacing fire are poorly ...

        Physical and mechanical property variation of black ash (Fraxinus Nigra M.) grown in the Thunder Bay seed zone 

        Forbes, Brent W. (2014-01-22)
        The identification of traditionally underutilized species with the potential for development and increased marketing potential has been recognized as a source of potential innovation in the Northwestern Ontario forest ...

        Physico-chemical properties of soils associated with logged forest and areas converted to teak (Tectana grandis Linn. F) 

        Salifu, Francis K. (1997)
        This rapid and extensive introduction of teak to satisfy a predicted wood shortage in Ghana has given rise to the question of the short/long-term effects that management of teak plantations might have on soil properties. ...

        Physiological and morphological responses of mountain maple (acer spicatum l.) seedlings to light under different carbon dioxide concentrations, soil temperature and soil moisture regimes 

        Danyagri, Gabriel (2013-02-01)
        Determining the response of mountain maple (Acer spicatum L.) to increases in light is confounded by interaction with other environmental factors. Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations ([CO2]) and the accompanying ...
