Trade-offs between economic gains and ecological functions following forest management alternatives in boreal forests
(2018)
Intensive forest management activities that maximize economic gains could negatively impact the long-term sustainability of ecological functions and associated ecosystem services. Understanding the trade-offs between ...
Effects of species mixtures on fine root production in a young boreal forest
(2019)
1. Fine roots (< 2 mm) play a key role in terrestrial ecosystem processes. Species diversity
loss has been recognized as one of the primary global change drivers that can have
profound negative effects on ecosystem ...
A script for the automatic delineation of canopy gaps from raster images and incorporation of analysis with Ontario’s FRI datasets
(2019)
This thesis project serves as a tool for resource managers looking to delineate gaps in the forest canopy, where a Canopy Height Model raster is available. Once identified, analysis is performed in order to assess the ...
Windthrow and forest regeneration, structure, and composition in boreal forests
(2020)
Windthrow is a self-identified disturbance factor in forests, which has a huge
ecological and economic impact.
This paper discusses the influence of windthrow on boreal forests and analyzes the
changes of tree ecosystems ...
