Stand structural dynamics of boreal conifer, mixedwood, and broadleaf fire- and clearcut logging-origin stands in central Canada
(2006)
Stand structure has been linked to forest regeneration, nutrient cycling, wildlife
habitat, biodiversity, and climate regulation. A review and synthesis of literature
indicated that boreal forest stand structure is ...
Identification of wetlands on the Canadian boreal plain and their contributions to stream water chemistry
(2006)
The Alberta Wetland Inventory (AWI), which is used in a variety of applications

Carbon stock estimates for red spruce (Picea rubens) forest in central Nova Scotia
(2005)
Carbon storage was measured in natural red spruce dominated stands in the
Eastern Eco-region of central Nova Scotia (NS). Twenty-four plots over a 140-year
chronosequence were established. Within each plot, major carbon ...
Increasing diameter growth content of red pine (Pinus Resinosa) through intensive management
(2017)
Intensive forest management can only be justified if it increases wood quality or yield sufficiently to compensate for the additional investment. Treatments such as thinning and/or pruning are typically only applied to ...
Recovering from over-cutting in China: an examination of the natural forest protection project
(2017)
In the last century, China chose a planned economic system and formulated a strategy for the development of heavy industry. The chosen strategy for heavy industry has given forestry a half-century task, both to provide ...
Quercus rubra L. regeneration from prescribed burns: an in-depth look into management in Canada forests, specifically Ontario
(2018)
This paper explores the impact that prescribed fires have on red oak (Quercus rubra L.) regeneration in Canada and Ontario. Prescribed fires are important to consider the best management techniques that should be used in ...
Analysis of using unmanned aerial vehicles in forestry
(2019)
Unmanned aerial vehicles are a growing market within the forestry industry. They provide opportunities for enhancement of data collection, monitoring of wildlife, forest fire detection and monitoring, compliance monitoring ...
An examination of forest-dwelling birds in recreational areas within Thunder Bay, ON.
(2018)
Forest-dwelling birds hold various social, economic, and ecological
values. This study aims to identify the habitat elements that recreational
areas provide or lack for various forest birds. Three recreational areas
across ...
Effects of environmental factors on seed germination
(2019)
Detailed understanding of the environmental conditions required for the germination
and growth of tree seeds is an important prerequisite for the formulation of comprehensive
and sustainable forest development strategies, ...
Canadian forestry professionals’ perceptions of forest management and climate change
(2019)
Gauging the perception of current and future professionals in the Canadian forestry sector is crucial to understanding how forests are managed in the thought of climate change. The aim of the study was to quantify how the ...
