The influence of "acid rain" (watering with tap water acidified to pH 3.0 ) and drought on jack pine seedlings and balsam poplar cuttings growing in two different soil types was studied in a short-term greenhouse experiment. ...

Traditional approaches to timber management planning do not address the realities of catastrophic wildfire. The model FORMAN is one of the operational wood supply models used in Ontario for forest regulation. The FORTRAN ...

For a variety of reasons, the number and complexity of natural resource management conflicts in Ontario is increasing rapidly. To evaluate the premise that existing natural resource management planning processes are ...

By developing a general interface between forest planning models and geographic information systems, the forest planner is capable of spatially analyzing the results of wood supply analysis. The planner can change the ...

The intent of Ontario's "Timber Management Guidelines for the Provision of Moose Habitat" is to use timber management to maintain or improve the moose habitat potential of a forest. In the boreal forests of Ontario, ...

A naturally regenerating boreal mixedwood site was remeasured 37 years after four harvest treatments; clearcutting (CC), deferred 'softwoods only' cutting (DC), 'softwoods only' cutting (SC), and hardwoods poisoned, ...

This study examined two topics. In the first, a computer algorithm was developed to process stem analysis data produced by Tree Ring Increment Measure (TRIM) system. The algorithm developed not only processed TRIM data ...

The biomass, nutrient contents and soils of a chronosequence, including undisturbed primary forest (UPF), logged over forest (LOF), cleared and burned forest (for cultivation), abandoned cultivation sites, and four ...

Levels of public participation in the management of a community forest (CF) depend on the CF’s goals and the subsequent decision-making structure that the community adopts. To evaluate the hypothesis that the Ontario ...
