Benefit–cost analysis of vegetation management alternatives: an Ontario case study
(2011)Vegetation management practices are an integral component of forest management. In this paper, we report results of stand-level benefit–cost analyses of 12 vegetation management treatments applied at six study sites in ... -
Carbon stock estimates for red spruce (Picea rubens) forest in central Nova Scotia
(2005)Carbon storage was measured in natural red spruce dominated stands in the Eastern Eco-region of central Nova Scotia (NS). Twenty-four plots over a 140-year chronosequence were established. Within each plot, major carbon ... -
Comparative assessment of SFMM/Stanley & COMPLAN for forest management planning in Ontario
(2002)The growing complexity of forest management planning issues requires the best planning tools available. A key question facing forest management planners in Ontario is whether SFMM (and its harvest-blocking tool Stanley) ... -
Cutting versus herbicides: Tenth-year volume and release cost-effectiveness of sub-boreal conifer plantations
(2006)Few cost-effectiveness studies of vegetation management in conifer plantations are reported in the literature. This study provides follow-up cost-effectiveness analysis from research conducted at the Fallingsnow Ecosystem ... -
Development of a methodology for monitoring changes in Ghanaian forest reserves
(2000)The Ghanaian Forests are a significant component of the country’s development. Occasioned by the rapid population growth of the country, increasing phenomena such as shifting agriculture, logging, fuelwood harvesting and ... -
Effects of forest management, weather, and landscape pattern on furbearer harvests at large-scales
(2003)Over the past 50 years, Ontario’s forest landscape has changed due to ever increasing natural resource management. The natural vegetation pattern, forest composition, and the fire regime have been altered. Maintaining ... -
Identification of wetlands on the Canadian boreal plain and their contributions to stream water chemistry
(2006)The Alberta Wetland Inventory (AWI), which is used in a variety of applications across the province to estimate wetland cover from aerial photographs, detected only 34% of confirmed wetland field plots in boreal forest ... -
Increasing diameter growth content of red pine (Pinus Resinosa) through intensive management
(2017)Intensive forest management can only be justified if it increases wood quality or yield sufficiently to compensate for the additional investment. Treatments such as thinning and/or pruning are typically only applied to ... -
Key factors influencing First Nation youth perspectives on forest management and capacity development in northern Ontario, Canada
(2018)First Nation youth often play a central, though indirect, role in Ontario’s forest sector as the beneficiaries of capacity-building arrangements, employment opportunities and cultural-retention initiatives. Correspondingly, ... -

(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 ... -
Pre- and post-forest management investigations of factors affecting sediment movement in riparian areas in Northwestern Ontario
(2004)The principal objectives of this study were to measure the impacts of timber harvesting on sediment transport rates (mineral and organic) associated with two clearcut areas in northwestern Ontario and to evaluate the ... -
Public participation in community forests : the Ontario community forest pilot projects / by Florence Wanjira Chege.
(1994)Levels of public participation in the management of a community forest (CF) depend on the CF’s goals and the subsequent decision-making structure that the community adopts. To evaluate the hypothesis that the Ontario ... -
Regional environmental assessment of forest management : experience in Ontario and Minnesota
(1995)Environmental assessment (EA) was originally conceived as a process applying to discrete projects such as power dams and timber harvest plans, but increasingly it is being applied to programs and policies for large areas. ... -
Shoreline forest disturbance rates in natural and managed forests of northwestern Ontario
(2004)The purpose of this study was to compare the rates of disturbance along forested shorelines between natural and managed forests of the mesic boreal region of northwestern Ontario. Comparisons were made between areas that ... -
Spatial analysis in timber management planning / by William Hugh Lougheed
(1988)The objective of this thesis was to develop a spatially sound timber management strategy design tool. Long-range timber management modelling systems were identified as being limited by the inability to perform large-scale ... -
Stand structural dynamics of boreal conifer, mixedwood, and broadleaf fire- and clearcut logging-origin stands in central Canada
(2006)Stand structure has been linked to forest regeneration, nutrient cycling, wildlife habitat, biodiversity, and climate regulation. A review and synthesis of literature indicated that boreal forest stand structure is ...
