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 ...

The primary objective of this study was to document any changes in terrestrial gastropod species richness and density associated with alternative methods of managing competing vegetation on regenerating conifer plantations. ...

Competition in forestry is discussed as a prelude to the hypothesis that tree seedling growth is strongly related to that of other vegetation close to it. The hypothesis states that: a) the relationship is species-dependent; ...

To understand the pattern of adaptive variation of jack pine in north central Ontario better, short-term provenance tests were established. Seed was collected from 64 sites to the east and west of Lake Nipigon and grown ...

An investigation was made into the rates of moisture content, extractives and basic wood density losses that occur when trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) wood chips are stored during different seasons ...

Environmental assessment (EA) was originally conceived as a process applying to discrete projects such as power dams and timber harvest plans, but increasingly it is being applied to programs and policies for large areas. ...

Bald eagles {Haliaeetus leucocephalus alascanus) have been declared an endangered species in Ontario. For protection of bald eagles from behavioural and habitat disturbance, their nests are defined as Areas of Concerns ...

Genetic variation in wood properties among and within three provenances of balsam poplar was investigated. Between 1982 and 1984, clonal populations were sampled along the Longitude 9QOW in North Wisconsin (Lat. 45°N ...

If humankind is to cope with the cumulative effects of its expanding populations on the earth’s ecosystems, a new relationship is required with natural systems. Serious adoption of the concepts of forest sustainability ...

Public sentiment is against herbicide use on public forests in Ontario. Provincial policies are directing research into alternative vegetation management with only limited interaction or support with forest resource based ...
