Effect of tree species diversity on species growth rate in the Saskatchewan boreal forest
(2023)Diverse ecosystems are crucial to combating climate change. This study aims to examine the impacts of tree species diversity on growth rate of seven boreal tree species. Data from permanent sample plots located in the ... -
The Influence of site type and harvest intensity on understory composition in boreal Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P. forest communities in Northwestern Ontario
(2015-08-05)Plant diversity and composition in boreal black spruce understory communities was assessed 15 years after the application of three harvest disturbance treatments on loam, sand and peat site types. The study was carried out ... -
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 ... -
Tree species diversity and stability in disturbance-driven boreal forest
(2016)Disturbance is a potent driver of forests. Components of disturbance such as frequency (i.e., time since last stand-replacing disturbance) and intensity (e.g., stand-replacing vs. non-stand-replacing disturbance) plays ...
