Holocene fire-climate-vegetation dynamics in Central Canadian Shield boreal forests of Northwestern Ontario, Canada / by Dominic Lafontaine-Senici.
(2014)
The boreal forest is the largest terrestrial ecosystem in North America, one of the least disturbed by humans, and most disturbed by fire. This combination makes it an ideal system to explore the environmental controls on ...
Exterior characteristics and internal wood decay of hazard trees in Thunder Bay, Ontario
(2013)
One major component of urban forestry is the ability to recognize hazard trees and have them removed before they fail or cause damage to people or property. Thunder Bay's urban forest consists of approximately 20,000 street ...
Effects of Photoperiod, Soil Moisture and Soil Temperature on the Northward Migration Potential of Jack Pine under the Scenario of Doubled Atmospheric CO2 Concentration
(2016)
Climate envelope models predict that boreal trees can potentially migrate northward by as much as 10º by 2100 as a consequence of the predicted climate change associated with the doubling of atmospheric CO2 concentration, ...
Behavioural analysis of meadow jumping mice; Zapus Hudsonius
(2020)
Temperament studies of animals can provide unique insight on how behaviour, genetics and environmental factors interact to influence the evolution and dynamics of populations. This, in turn, can be used to predict how ...
Early growth responses of black spruce seed sources selected for reforestation under climate change scenarios in Ontario
(2014)
Study area : Northern boreal forest: (Northeastern - Sault Ste. Marie region) ; (Northwestern : Dryden and Kakabeka regions)
Comparison of Carbon Footprints: Mass Timer Buildings vs Steels – A Literature Review
(2020)
Sustainability and innovation are key components in the fight against climate change.
Mass timber buildings have been gaining popularity due to the renewable nature of timber.
Although research comparing mass timber ...

Interfamily variation in wood quality of black spruce in a northwestern Ontario progeny trial
(2020)
The right trees for replanting must be selected to ensure optimal future forest conditions.
Based on desired future outcomes, various progenies can be selected to suit these needs. In
Canada, black spruce (Picea mariana), ...
An assessment of the utility of an unmanned aerial vehicle for measuring tree heights in a jack pine provenance trial
(2020)
This independent study is an assessment of the utility of an unmanned
aerial vehicle (UAV) for measuring the heights of jack pine (Pinus banksiana)
trees in a provenance trial. An electronic hypsometer, the Haglöf Vertex ...
Site condition effects on beech leaf disease symptom severity in southwestern Ontario hardwood forests
(2020)
The health of American beech (Fagus grandifolia Ehrh.) is threatened in North America due
to its susceptibility to various pathogens, including beech leaf disease. Little is known about
beech leaf disease, and forest ...
