Physiological and morphological responses of mountain maple (acer spicatum l.) seedlings to light under different carbon dioxide concentrations, soil temperature and soil moisture regimes
(2013-02-01)
Determining the response of mountain maple (Acer spicatum L.) to increases in light is confounded by interaction with other environmental factors. Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations ([CO2]) and the accompanying ...
Assessing community forest resources to determine potential for biomass district heating in one rural and one remote First Nation of Northwestern Ontario
(2016)
The purpose of this thesis is to explore the feasibility of using biomass in rural and remote First Nations for the purpose of supplying biomass district heating plants. The availability of forest resources, including the ...
Supply chain management of advanced wood pellets: storage and real time field characterization
(2017)
Canada announced plans to phase-out coal-fired electricity generation by 2030. Therefore, in 2014, the province of Ontario has phased out the use of coal in the production of electricity. Former coal powered generating ...
Lignocellulosic materials in hydrolysis and spent liquors
(2018)
Biomass pretreatment is widely used for softening biomass prior to its disintegration for value added product production. There are numerous methods for biomass pre-treatment, among which alkaline pulping and acid hydrolysis ...
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 ...
Techno-economic analysis and supply chain design for a forest biorefinery to produce value-added bio-based products from lignin
(2019)
By far, several commercial projects for production of lignin-based chemicals started
operations around the world. For instance, the LignoBoost process was installed by Domtar
in 2013 in the United States, and in 2015 by ...
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 ...
