Soil chemistry responses to disturbances were quantified and compared at two dates by sampling the organic, 0-5 cm and 5-10 mineral soil layers in a northwestern Ontario boreal mixedwood site. The disturbance treatments ...

Four closely related Ghanaian Khaya woods were studied for differences in anatomical, chemical and physical properties to enable clear identification o f the species. The species were Khaya cmthotheca (Ka), Khaya ivorensis ...

A modified version of the Harvest Schedule Generator model (HSG) was used to predict the economic wood supply from alternative silvicultural systems on a case study forest (Seine River Forest) In northwestern Ontario’s ...

The primary objective of this study was to examine the effects of alternative vegetation management on epigeal insects, Coleoptera, Carabidae, and non-insectan arthropods. This study, which is a component of the Fallingsnow ...

Increasing concern for the viability of forest-dwelling woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Ontario has resulted in recommendations for more restrictive timber harvesting practices. Caribou populations have ...

During the current project four studies were conducted to determine the effect of alternative silvicultural systems, and harvesting methods on the small mammal community of a boreal mixedwood forest in northern Ontario. ...

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of fire on mycorrhizal fungi in a Pinus banksiana stand. It was hypothesized that an optimal fire intensity leads to an increase in ectomycorrhizal colonization of ...

Initial species composition was investigated on a group of boreal mixedwood sites that had experienced various forms of disturbance. The hypothesis explored was that environmental changes caused by different disturbances ...

Land degradation in semi-arid environments is increasing due to rapid population growth, poor landuse practices and variable climate conditions. Landuse planners require a better understanding of the impact that proposed ...

Lake trout reproductive habitat was characterized in three small lakes, 250 km northwest of Thunder Bay, Ontario, by measuring the physical characteristics of preferred spawning habitat including 1) depth, 2) substrate ...
