Econometric model of Canada's newsprint exports to the United States of America
(1990)An econometric model was built for predictive purposes and for understanding the relationship between the US market and Canadian newsprint producers. In this study, a simultaneous-equation model was developed, which ... -
An economic analysis of an American ginseng growing operation in a woodlot in Janetville, Ontario
(2018)American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) has been valued for centuries as a medicine, particularly in Asian cultures. It is highly valuable, and as a result it has been poached to endangered levels throughout much of its ... -
An economic analysis of the impact of the Bronze Birch Borer on birch trees in Thunder Bay, Ontario
(2022)Urban street trees provide many ecosystem services, environmental and economic benefits for residents, communities, cities, and municipalities. The economic benefits of trees are not easily quantified as they have no ... -
Economic analysis of vegetation management alternatives in Ontario
(2014-01-22)Vegetation management practices have become an integral component of forest management. Economics of alternative vegetation management treatments were analyzed in this thesis on the basis of two journal papers. Six research ... -
Economic feasibility of ground-based steep slope logging using winch-assist technologies
(2018)This thesis examines the use of winch-assist technologies in logging operations in the interior of British Columbia. The data used for this thesis is from a contractor’s (located in Central B.C.) professional judgment ... -
The economic feasibility of replacing diesel with renewable energy resources in remote First Nation communities in Northern Ontario
(2017)Ontario has many First Nation communities in the remote northern region that use diesel fuel to generate part or the whole of their energy requirements. There is a huge financial and environmental cost associated with ... -
Economic performance and strike activity : a macroeconomic model of eight countries, 1955-1981
(1985)After having explored the articles by Orley Ashenfelter and George Johnson, and Martin Paldam and Peter Pederson, it was discovered that there existed a strong relationship between strike activity and economic performance, ... -
Economic risk analysis of the emerald ash borer on the Thunder Bay campus of Lakehead University
(2018)In addition to their beauty, these trees contribute valuable ecosystem services. As of June 2016 the emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle from Asia, has been found in Thunder Bay and has the potential to kill every ash ... -
The economic value of recovering the town of Oakville's urban forest after the impacts of the emerald ash borer
(2019)The Town of Oakville is responsible for maintaining some 2,016,500 city trees planted within boulevards on the city’s streets (UFORE 2016). Prior to the emerald ash borer, ash trees represented the top 5 most trees planted ... -
Economic wood supply from alternative silvicultural systems : a case study in Ontario's boreal forest
(1997)A modified version of the Harvest Schedule Generator model (HSG) was used to predict the economic wood supply from alternative silvicultural systems on a case study forest (Seine River Forest) In northwestern Ontario’s ... -
Ecophysiological responses of black spruce (Picea mariana) seedlings to nutrient supply, N-P-K ratio and photoperiod at current and elevated CO2 concentration
(2012-11-10)The relationship between plant growth and nitrogen supply is frequently used in growth models to predict growth performance under global climate change scenarios. However, the relationship may be changed under elevated ... -
Ecophysiological responses of four boreal tree species to soil nitrogen supply
(2000)The ecophysiological responses of four boreal tree species, trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.), black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.), white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss), and jack pine (Pinus ... -
Ecophysiological responses of white birch seedlings to soil temperature and phosphorus supply under current and doubled carbon dioxide concentration
(2009)To investigate the responses of some physiological and morphological traits to different soil temperature and phosphorus supply under current and doubled carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]), white birch (Betula papyrifera ... -
Ecosystem sustainability and resource-based tourism : linkages and indicators
(2000)The landscape of northern Ontario provides an ideal setting for resource-based tourism and, in recent years, the focus on tourism has increased due to the popularity of outdoor recreation and the notion that tourism can ... -
Ecotypic variation of black spruce in northwestern Ontario
(2020)The success of reforestation can be improved by selecting the appropriate seed source for the site type. However, not much is known about the differences in using upland versus lowland black spruce seed sources when ... -
Edge effects at clearcut, fire and riparian buffers in the boreal forest of Northwestern Ontario
(2004)In the boreal forest of northwestern Ontario clearcutting and fire are two common edge-creating disturbances. Fundamental knowledge regarding the ability of fire and clearcut edges to minimize edge effects, preserve ... -
Edge effects of road material and compaction on the regeneration of jack pine in the English River Forest
(2018)There is potentially a considerable proportion of harvestable forest area experiencing road edge effects. It may be important to understand these effects and how trees respond to them to improve forest growth modeling ...
