Bioenergy, energy produced from renewable biomass, can potentially replace fossil fuels and create employment in northwestern Ontario. However, the procurement of biomass for energy production can be uneconomical due to ...

Methods for detecting and evaluating Armillaria in plantations were compared in a series of studies. The purposes of the studies were to standardize the Armillaria trapping technique, and to determine if it could be used ...

Community forestry has become a much-discussed form of forest land tenure and management in Northern Ontario. It is a viable approach to community economic development especially among communities that are dependent on ...

Growing conditions for black spruce natural regeneration on clearcut strips were studied near Shebandowan, Ontario. These conditions were significantly different from those present in the mature, residual forest in the ...

The relative error (term error in the thesis always stands for relative error) transmission from Forest Resource Inventory (FRI) data to Strategic Forest Management Model (SFMM) outputs based on different FRI data to ...

Cytological studies revealed irregularities in the nuclear life cycle of Inonotus tomentosus. The mycelia was multinucleate and the nuclei were found in groups of two to six. By the time the nuclei reached the subhymenium ...

The influence of "acid rain" (watering with tap water acidified to pH 3.0 ) and drought on jack pine seedlings and balsam poplar cuttings growing in two different soil types was studied in a short-term greenhouse experiment. ...

Regional single-entry volume equations for northern Ontario were derived based on the standard volume equations by Honer et al. A site stratification methodology was employed to derive localized regional height-diame ...
