The Fine root dynamics after stand-replacing fire and clearcutting in the boreal forest of central Canada
(2012-11-10)In boreal forest ecosystems, stand age is a key driver of forest ecosystem productivity, carbon storage/sequestration, and other ecosystem functions. The age-related decline of aboveground productivity is well known in ... -
Outplanting performance of Pinus strobus, Pinus resinosa, Pinus banksiana, and Picea glauca from different nurseries, and with different container types within Algonquin Park
(2020)Understanding planting performance of seedlings is integral to the forest industry of Canada. Many factors are involved in the performance of the seedlings once planted in the field. Factors include site conditions, planter ... -
Potential factors that influence the silvicultural status of a stand based on its silvicultural background
(2020)The silvicultural effectiveness monitoring program is important in determining the silvicultural status of a stand. Each stand can be classified as being a silvicultural success (SS), regeneration success (RS), or not ... -
Species diversity and aboveground productivity relationships in forest ecosystems
(2012-11-10)Empirical and theoretical studies have attributed the observed positive diversity-productivity relationship (DPR) across various ecosystems to a complementarity effect through niche differentiation and/or facilitation among ... -
Upland boreal forest northwest of Thunder Bay, Ontario : ecology and applications to silviculture
(1984)Multivariate phytosociological methods were used to investigate the ecology of upland boreal forest stands. The ecological information was used to derive silvicultural recommendations. The boreal forest stands did not ...
