The effects of plantation spacing on Pinus resinosa wood density variation and managing for increased carbon sequestration
(2020)
Pinus resinosa is found throughout a large portion of eastern North America.
Dating back to the early settlement era, wood utilization has varied from solely
infrastructure to bioenergy and carbon sequestration. Although ...
A review of silvics, stand dynamics, density management, and vegetation management in the Ontario boreal forest
(2023)
Adaptive forest management requires constant re-evaluation of the efficacy and
impact of current practices. Continuous development of information is key to any
adaptive management regime, especially in the face of ...
The effects of stratification methods on paper birch and yellow birch seed germination
(2022)
This study examines the use of both a typical cold moist stratification method,
and an alternative in their ability to affect germination rates in paper birch (Betula
papyrifera) and yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis). ...
The management plan and forest inventory of a private woodlot in Southern Ontario
(2021)
In Southern Ontario, private landowners hold the majority of forested land
because of privatization. These property owners face degraded forests because of past
logging practices. Other challenges faced by these owners ...
Challenges with regenerating chipper debris pads: evaluating seedling performance nine years after planting
(2023)
Debris from in-bush portable chain flail chippers can alter the abiotic
environment factors within the mineral soil. Thus, chipper debris can create an
unsuitable seedbed for seedling growth and survival. In this thesis, ...
The effects of mechanical site preparation, unscarified and refill land types on the growth and establishment of planted seedlings
(2023)
This study examines the effects of different site types
of tree planting blocks on the growth and establishment of
planted seedlings within the Black Spruce Forest, north of
Thunder Bay, Ontario. Measurements of planted ...
Evaluating the effects of clearcutting, wildfire, and bioenergy wood ash application on forest soils to improve emulation silviculture
(2023)
Ontario’s forest management guides promote the use emulation silviculture to manage
the province’s forests on a landscape scale based on natural disturbance regimes. While clearcut
harvesting can have similar effects to ...
Assessing the feasibility of low-cost unmanned aerial vehicle data collection and automatic tree detection to determine silviculture stand stocking status in BC
(2022)
The objective of this research was to evaluate the capabilities and limitations of low-cost UAV-collected silviculture data derived from Digital Aerial Photogrammetric point clouds. Four regenerating forest stands with a ...
Triad zoning in northern Ontario and woodland caribou conservation: a critical review
(2023)
Woodland caribou in Ontario are threatened, posing a conflict between habitat
and timber supply for forest areas. The current management practices with Dynamic
Caribou Habitat Schedules (DCHS) address long-term habitat ...
