Investigation of winter habitat selection by woodland caribou in relation to forage abundance and snow accumulation
(2014-01-22)
Imprecision and misclassification of land cover types are two issues commonly
encountered in habitat selection studies using satellite land cover classifications and
telemetry data. Here, the utility of broad land cover ...
Linking environment, biodiversity, and ecosystem functions in forest ecosystems
(2014-12-16)
The positive biodiversity and ecosystem functions relationship (BEF) has been well established, especially in controlled experiments. However, a coherent study to examine the multiple relationships in BEF in natural ...
Comparative analysis of wood pellet parameters: Canadian case study
(2014-01-22)
Canada is one of the world leaders in wood pellet production and export, however, domestic consumption is extremely low. In addition there is no national standard in Canada for wood pellets. The Canadian government announced ...
Exploring wild blueberries as a place-based socio-economic development opportunity in Ignace, Ontario
(2014-01-22)
Wild blueberries are an important food source in rural communities of Northwestern Ontario, and can be used as a possible alternative to diversify their economic resource base. This study explores the socio-economic ...
Influence of riparian harvesting on boreal understory vegetation
(2014-01-22)
In the boreal forest, understory vegetation accounts for the majority of floristic diversity and affects overstory succession and productivity, nutrient cycling, and wildlife habitat. In
riparian forests, understory ...
Natural resource management and Indigenous food systems in Northern Ontario
(2014-12-16)
The forests and freshwaters of Northern Ontario are complex
socio-ecological systems that have provided opportunities to
sustain local lives, economies, and cultures since time
immemorial. Through nation-to-nation ...
Charcoal in North American boreal forests: implications for carbon storage and management
(2014-01-22)
Charcoal plays an important role in boreal soil function and carbon storage, and is present in most boreal forest soils as a result of naturally recurring wildfires. Charcoal management has been proposed as a potentially ...
Terrestrial lichen abundance in relation to stand structure and silvicultural history
(2014-01-22)
Terrestrial lichen has been identified as an important factor contributing to suitable woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) winter habitat. Conservation efforts to maintain viable populations of woodland caribou ...
Modelling the radial and longitudinal variation in wood density and its sensitivity to climate in black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.)
(2014-01-22)
Wood density variation affects structural timber performance and is correlated with different sources (genetic diversity, stand dynamics and climatic effects) which, to date, have not been comprehensively quantified in ...
Leaf morphological and anatomical variations of paper birch populations along environmental gradients across Canada
(2014-12-12)
Leaf morphology and anatomy have been found to vary considerably among tree
species, and leaf characteristics have widely been used for analyzing plant growth and
resource use strategies because of their structural ...
