        Assessment of fuel quality changes during storage of biofibre and its effect on cost 

        Gautam , Shuva Hari (2010)
        Bioenergy, energy produced from renewable biomass, can potentially replace fossil fuels and create employment in northwestern Ontario. However, the procurement of biomass for energy production can be uneconomical due to ...

        Black spruce (Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) boreal ecosystems : how tree-length and full-tree harvesting affects soil microbial populations 

        Arvonio, Anna (2000)
        To evaluate the hypothesis that microbial populations are affected by organic biomass removals, a study was designed to complement ongoing work in a black spruce {Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) Boreal ecosystem. The ...

        Carbon dynamics of boreal mixedwoods in central Canada 

        Seedre, Meelis (2009)
        Large amount of carbon (C) stored in boreal forest ecosystems plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. Forest ecosystem C is stored in four major pools: live vegetation (above-and below ground), dead woody ...

        The economic feasibility of replacing diesel with renewable energy resources in remote First Nation communities in Northern Ontario 

        Hosszu, Mike (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 ...

        Environmental and economic impact assessment of biochar-based bioenergy production in Northwestern Ontario, Canada 

        Homagain, Krishnahari (2016)
        Bioenergy is becoming very popular in Ontario with the 2014 ban on the use of coal in power generation. Biochar is produced as a by-product or a co-product of bioenergy. Past literature shows that if biochar is produced ...

        Fine root dynamics for three distinct Northern Ontario forests : a comparison of approaches used to estimate fine root biomass, productivity, and turnover 

        Pridoehl, Franc (2009)
        There is increasing interest to develop quantitative approaches to carbon accounting and determine carbon sequestration potential at both the site and landscape scales. Currently, our lack of understanding of fine root ...

        From coal to wood thermoelectric energy production: Socio-economic impacts in northwestern Ontario, Canada 

        Dampier, Jason E. E. (2016)
        The province of Ontario in Canada is the first North American jurisdiction with legislation in place to eliminate coal-fired thermoelectric production. Ontario Power Generation’s (OPG) coal-fired Atikokan Generating Station ...

        Fuel characteristics of Northwestern Ontario tree species and their components 

        Hosegood, Steven Ian (2010)
        The use of forestry residues or any biomass in the production of energy has been a topic of great discussion due to the increasing pressure to establish environmentally friendly energy production. With the current energy ...

        The impact of amending forest soils with wood ash on soil organic matter attributes and associated properties 

        Joseph, Ruth (2020)
        Wood ash, the byproduct of bioenergy production from biomass, is typically discarded into landfills as waste. Adding ash back to soil may supply nutrients to soil that are lost through biomass harvesting, increase soil ...

        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% ...

        A novel metadata analysis approaches for analyzing and understanding wood-decaying mechanisms exhibited by fungi 

        Sista Kameshwar, Ayyappa Kumar (2019)
        Fuel has become an essential commodity in our day to day life. Increase in global population and decreasing fuel reserves have forced mankind to look for other fuel alternatives. Forest biomass serves as a potential renewable ...

        Production of bio-crude from forestry waste by hydro-liquefaction in sub-/super-critical methanol and upgrading of bio-crude by hydro-treating 

        Yang, Yun (2009)
        Bio-energy is renewable and clean (with trace amount of sulfur and neutral in terms of CO2 emission), and abundant in resource, thus it could be a securable and sustainable energy for future. Due to the declining reserve ...

        The Root dynamics of mixed and single species stands in the boreal forest of central and eastern Canada 

        Brassard, Brian Wesley (2010)
        I examined trends of fine root biomass and necromass in different mixed- and single-species stands within the central and eastern regions of the North American boreal forest to determine how annual fine root production, ...
