A morphological comparison of two Canadian populations of the pink striped oakworm (Anisota virginiensis Drury) (LEPIDOPTERA: SATURNIIDAE)
(2021)
This thesis involves a morphological and physiological comparison of two
Canadian populations (Manitoba and Nova Scotia), and several USA populations of
adult pink-striped oakworm (Anisota virginiensis) moths. It was ...
Controlling competing vegetation for forest regeneration
(2021)
The timely regeneration of productive forests is vital to maintain timber supply
in the forest industry. However, other vegetation can severely hinder forest
regenerations. Therefore, effective measures to control the ...
A comparison: forest fires and clear-cut harvesting impacts as disturbances within the boreal forest
(2021)
Clear-cut harvesting is often said to be an imitation of fires impact on the landscape
when discussing how harvesting is thought out or planned. Clear-cut harvesting and
fires have significantly different impacts on the ...
Potassium impact on red pine (Pinus resinosa) diameter and height growth
(2021)
This thesis explores the relationship between the soil nutrient potassium and its
effect on red pine growth. This thesis summarizes existing knowledge on differing soils
impact on red pine and the lack of polymorphism. ...
Comparative study of forest restoration projects in China and Philippines
(2020)
This article mainly compares two restoration projects in developing
countries, one in China and the other in the Philippines. Both developing countries are located in Asia and have similar population
densities, and both ...
The impacts unnatural foods have on hibernation and health in American Black Bears
(2021)
As humans encroach more and more into wild spaces, we will continue to see an
increase in the negative impacts our lives have on those of the animals we share these
spaces with. One of these ways is through our food. In ...
The utility of molecular DNA markers for monitoring population trends and genetic structure of woodland caribou
(2021)
The use of non-invasive genetic sampling techniques is becoming frequent in the
field of conservation. An examination of population trends of woodland caribou in
Canada reveals the potential for fecal DNA analysis. Various ...
Recognizing the effects of climate change on honeybees
(2021)
Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) are an essential pollinating species as they are
important in building healthy and resilient ecosystems. Honeybees, now found all over
the globe, were introduced to North America from Europe ...
Effect of spacing management on growth and commercial logging of red pine
(2021)
To maximize utilization of the forest resource, spacing management always plays an important
role in tree planting. It will influence tree height, diameter, mortality, self-pruning, and most
importantly, early growth ...
Exploring physical and mechanical properties of OSB and underutilized species to be used in the Glulam industry
(2021)
Glulam lumber is a great building alternative to steel for its strength, aesthetics,
and ecofriendly nature. Most of the Glulam produced in North America is made from
Spruce, Pine, or Fir (SPF) species due to their ...
