Inventorying cutover logging residues: A remote sensing approach
(2012-11-10)The purpose of this study was to quantify the volume of logging residues within forest harvest blocks, using an airborne, remote sensing based method. The objective was to measure the volume using a field technique, and ... -
Patterns and mechanisms of understorey vegetation associated with stand development in boreal forests
(2018)The understorey vegetation comprises the greatest plant diversity and contributes substantially to ecosystem functioning and services in boreal forests. Although many studies have examined patterns of understorey species ... -
Quantitative metrics of deadwood decay classes as a function of moisture regime and tree species
(2017)The patterns and rates of decomposition of dead woody debris (DWD) in the boreal ecosystem throughout the wood decay process have been hypothesized to vary across moisture regimes and between species. A fundamental aspect ... -
A review of the biological significance of coarse woody debris in forest ecosystems and its positive impact on forest characteristics
(2020)Coarse Woody Debris (CWD) is considered any woody decay that has fallen on the forest floor. This important piece of forest ecology has a large influence on a variety of forest characteristics. This thesis first evaluates ... -
Saproxylic beetle species associations with structural composition of red pine coarse woody debris at Hogarth plantation
(2020)How forest management practices affect the biodiversity of saproxylic insects is currently poorly understood. Since these insects play a role in nutrient cycling, failure to properly manage for saproxylic insects could ...
