Object-oriented and pixel-based image classification using Landsat multispectral and Hyperion hyperspectral imagery in boreal conditions
(2008)
Current environmental trends dictate a need for new methods, initiatives, and technologies that provide reliable, up-to-date forest information. Canada, which is home to ten percent of the Earth's forests, has made national ...
Comparison of growth intercept and site index models of black spruce plantations and natural stands in Northern Ontario
(2008)
Black spruce (Picea mariana Mill. B.S.P.) is one of the most important tree
species in Canada, both ecologically and commercially. The forest industry has steadily
increased efforts to artificially regenerate areas that ...
Environmental drivers of succession in jack pine-dominated stands of boreal Ontario
(2008)
Spanning boreal Ontario, photo chronosequencing was used to observe change
through time in 178 stands comprised at least in part by jack pine (Pinus bansiana
Lamb.). Linked to growth and yield monitoring plot networks ...
Post-fire natural regeneration of young stands on clearcut, partial-cut and uncut sites of boreal mixedwoods : Fire NIP 10 burned stands regeneration analysis
(2008)
Boreal mixedwoods are an important element and the most productive forest type
in the Canadian boreal forests. This research focused on the regeneration of stands burned
by an intense wild fire in Black Sturgeon Boreal ...
Forest structure and small-mammal responses to variable-retention timber harvest in the Cape Breton highlands of Nova Scotia
(2008)
American marten ( Martes americana Turton) are endangered in Nova Scotia and the population on Cape Breton Island is critically low. A marten recovery strategy is in place but there are large gaps in information regarding ...
Ecosystem sustainability and resource-based tourism : linkages and indicators
(2000)
The landscape of northern Ontario provides an ideal setting for resource-based
tourism and, in recent years, the focus on tourism has increased due to the
popularity of outdoor recreation and the notion that tourism can ...
Post disturbance dynamics of aspen mixed-woods : a comparison among fire, logging, and budworm outbreak
(2002)
Seventy-one aspen (Populus tremuloidies Michx.) mixedwood stands disturbed in
the 1980’s were sampled in southeastern Manitoba, Canada to examine the response of
arboreal and understory communities to natural and ...
Ecologically-based taper equations for major tree species in Manitoba
(2004)
Kozak's variable exponent taper equation was fitted for balsam poplar (Populus
balsamifera L.), trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.), white spruce (Picea
glauca (Moench) Voss), black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) ...
Old-growth forests and timber supply : a case study from the boreal forest
(1997)
Historically in Canada, old-growth forest preservation concerns, research, and
analyses have centred on the stately coniferous forests of British Columbia (e.g.,
Clayoquot Sound). Within the past decade, however, the ...
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 ...
