Describing the similarities and differences in songbird communities between harvested and wildfire-origin stands in Northwestern Ontario, Canada
(2024)In Ontario, sustainable forest management is mandated by the CFSA. Natural disturbance emulation is viewed as method that improves sustainability in managed forests. However, few studies have attempted to measure the ... -
Evaluating the effects of biomass harvesting on soil nutrient availability, foliar nutrition, and seedling growth in third-growth black spruce plantations in northwestern Ontario
(2023)Residual forest biomass is a viable feedstock that can be used in the bioenergy stream. There remains, however, a concern that excessive removal of forest biomass may have negative impacts on forest biodiversity, ... -
Quantitative metrics of deadwood decay classes as a function of moisture regime and tree species
(2017)The patterns and rates of decomposition of dead woody debris (DWD) in the boreal ecosystem throughout the wood decay process have been hypothesized to vary across moisture regimes and between species. A fundamental aspect ... -
Tracking stand-level responses (mortality and recovery) in jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.)- dominated stands following the recent jack pine budworm (Choristoneura pinus pinus F.) infestation across northwestern Ontario
(2023)This study investigates the stand-level responses (mortality and recovery) in jack pine-dominated forests following a recent infestation of the jack pine budworm across northwestern Ontario. The aim is to understand the ...
