Growth and yield of teak (Tectona grandis Linn F.) plantations in Northern Ghana
(1998)
Teak (Tectona grandis Linn F.) is a popular exotic species in Ghana, widely
grown in industrial plantations and small scale community woodlots. In spite of its
importance, limited information exists on the growth and ...
Application of a physically based hydrological model on a semi-arid watershed in Northern Ghana
(1997)
Land degradation in semi-arid environments is increasing due to rapid population
growth, poor landuse practices and variable climate conditions. Landuse planners
require a better understanding of the impact that proposed ...
Effects of prescribed burning on mycorrhizal fungi in a pinus banksiana stand
(1997)
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of fire on mycorrhizal fungi
in a Pinus banksiana stand. It was hypothesized that an optimal fire intensity leads to
an increase in ectomycorrhizal colonization of ...
Potential impacts of clearcut logging on lake trout (salvelinus namaycush) reproduction in northwestern Ontario lakes
(1997)
Lake trout reproductive habitat was characterized in three small lakes, 250 km northwest
of Thunder Bay, Ontario, by measuring the physical characteristics of preferred spawning
habitat including 1) depth, 2) substrate ...
Effects of alternative vegetation management treatments on epigeal insects, coleoptera, carabidae and non-insectan arthropods
(1997)
The primary objective of this study was to examine the effects of alternative vegetation management on epigeal insects, Coleoptera, Carabidae, and non-insectan arthropods. This study, which is a component of the Fallingsnow ...
Forest soil characteristics and variability under teak (Tectona grandis Linn.F) plantations and natural forests in Ashanti Region, Ghana
(1998)
The variability of forest soil properties and the number of samples required to achieve
desired levels of precision for estimation of property means have received little attention in
the tropics. Highly variable forest ...
Exploring the human dimension of Thunder Bay moose hunters with focus on choice behaviour and environmental preferences
(1999)
This study examined hunters' attitudes, preferences, and support for a variety of
hunting and resource management issues. The survey also included the first application
of a discrete choice experiment (DCE) to hunters ...
Influence of landscape-scale forest structure on the presence of pileated woodpeckers (dryocopus pileatus) in Central Ontario forests
(1999)
The goal of my research was to investigate the influence of landscape-scale forest
structure on the presence of pileated woodpeckers (Dryocopus pileatus) in central
Ontario forests. Study sites were located in Algonquin ...
Logging residue from the tropical high forests in the western region of Ghana
(2000)
In the face of increasing demand for industrial wood and the serious reduction of the
forest resource base in Ghana, logging is reported to be wasteful. However, the level of
wastage or residue generation has not been ...
Evaluation of natural regeneration potential of a degraded forest in Ghana
(1999)
Vast areas of forests have been degraded in Ghana. The degraded areas are generally
invaded by Chromolaena odorata, a strong competing species for trees. Planting is the
major primary means that is currently used to ...
