Fire disturbance mapping in a northern boreal forest using AVHRR/NDVI imagery : comparing techniques of change detection and substrate correction
(2000)
Ontario’s landmass north of 51° latitude has been designated as the least intensively
managed zone with respect to fire protection. Consequently, large natural fires dominate
the boreal landscape. This northern zone, ...
Developing and testing the applicability of a decision support system for the planning of juvenile jack pine thinning
(1994)
An investigation was made into the applicability of a model used to assist in
planning the allocation of pre-commercial thinning to juvenile jack pine stands. The
hypothesis of this study was that planning pre-commercial ...
Application of UASs to augment ground surveys in cranberry agriculture development: a proof of concept for the integration of UAS into the site identification and monitoring of cranberry farms in Newfoundland
(2017)
Assessing the potential for developing wetland environments into cranberry agricultural lands is time consuming and expensive. The addition of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to augment current ground survey techniques has ...
Technical and technological alternatives for aerial moose (Alces alces) survey
(2017)
Moose (Alces alces) aerial surveys provide the information needed for effective management only when they are accurate and precise. I aimed to identify gaps in and improve understanding of aerial moose surveys in North ...
Inventorying cutover logging residues: A remote sensing approach
(2012-11-10)
The purpose of this study was to quantify the volume of logging residues within forest harvest blocks, using an airborne, remote sensing based method. The objective was to measure the volume using a field technique, and ...
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 ...
The estimation of boreal forest properties using spectral indices
(2018)
The field of forestry has evolved to meet several objectives, including timber and other forest product production, tourism and recreation, habitat and wildlife management and climate change monitoring. As the field ...
Using trail camera imagery to develop a habitat suitability index (HSI) For moose (Alces alces) In the English River Forest, ON
(2019)
Moose are a valuable economic and ecological resource in Ontario. Understanding their spatial distribution throughout the forest is essential for managing populations and preserving habitat. One method of identifying the ...
Classification of red pine stands using remote sensing techniques
(2019)
Red pine is a historically important species for forestry in the boreal forest. Its large diameter and straight and knot free form has made it ideal for many purposes, including construction. With the new sudden turn towards ...
Lichen detectability under varying canopy closure
(2019)
Monitoring lichen distribution is of increasing concern as mapping is critical in characterizing habitat for woodland caribou. Aerial photography collected using drones, the method used for this study, is a common method ...
