The correlation between fire and boreal forest soil degradation: a review of the effects of forest fire on soil properties
(2021)
The boreal forest has a vast area, and its types are distributed in a belt around the
polar regions. The soil types of boreal forests are also different due to different
vegetation types and climatic conditions in the ...
A case study of moisture regime on Pinus banksiana across Ontario
(2022)
With climate change affecting the boreal forest there are many
consequences to plant species on different site types that can be detrimental to
their longevity and productivity, affecting ecosystem health. In this ...
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 ...
Wildfire mitigation strategies for increased wildfire resilience in wildland-urban interface communities
(2022)
Historic wildfire management strategies across the North American boreal forest
have resulted in fire deficit forests. These landscapes are characterized by an unnatural
build-up of wildland fuel, forest densification ...
Effects of a second wood ash application to soil on Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P. and Picea glauca (Moench) voss growth and foliar nutrition and soil chemistry
(2022)
As the Canadian biomass energy sector grows, so too does its production of by-products
such as wood ash from the combustion of wood biomass for energy. Wood ash can be land applied with
the goal of increasing the ...
Assessment and evaluation of soil health indicators with changes from boreal forest to agriculture in Thunder Bay, Ontario
(2022)
The boreal forest is one of the most extensive biomes in Canada at an estimated 2.7 million ha.
The requirement for a growing agricultural sector, along with a currently warming climate, has
accelerated the conversion ...
