Economic wood supply from alternative silvicultural systems : a case study in Ontario's boreal forest
(1997)
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 ...
Genetic variation in height and diameter of tamarack (Larix Laricina) and their correlation with syllepsis
(1997)
The broad sense heritability of total height, annual height increment, diameter, volume index
and syllepsis of II provenances of tamarack in northwestern Ontario were examined. Genetic and
Pearson Product Moment correlations ...
Stem wood structure of four Ghanaian Khaya species
(1997)
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 ...
Impact of alternative harvesting practices on the small mammal community in an Ontario boreal mixedwood forest
(1997)
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. ...
Effects of roads and log hauling on woodland caribou use of a traditional wintering area near Armstrong, Ontario
(1997)
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 ...
Vegetation response to harvesting, harvesting and prescribed-burning and wildfire in Northwestern Ontario : patterns of reproductive strategies and nutrient accumulation
(1997)
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 ...
Application of a physically based hydrological model on a semi-arid watershed in Northern Ghana
(1997)
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 ...
Effects of prescribed burning on mycorrhizal fungi in a pinus banksiana stand
(1997)
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 ...
Potential impacts of clearcut logging on lake trout (salvelinus namaycush) reproduction in northwestern Ontario lakes
(1997)
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 ...
Effects of alternative vegetation management treatments on epigeal insects, coleoptera, carabidae and non-insectan arthropods
(1997)
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 ...
