A comparison: forest fires and clear-cut harvesting impacts as disturbances within the boreal forest
(2021)
Clear-cut harvesting is often said to be an imitation of fires impact on the landscape
when discussing how harvesting is thought out or planned. Clear-cut harvesting and
fires have significantly different impacts on the ...
Potassium impact on red pine (Pinus resinosa) diameter and height growth
(2021)
This thesis explores the relationship between the soil nutrient potassium and its
effect on red pine growth. This thesis summarizes existing knowledge on differing soils
impact on red pine and the lack of polymorphism. ...
