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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The variability of forest soil properties and the number of samples required to achieve desired levels of precision for estimation of property means have received little attention in the tropics. Highly variable forest ...

This study examined hunters' attitudes, preferences, and support for a variety of hunting and resource management issues. The survey also included the first application of a discrete choice experiment (DCE) to hunters ...

The goal of my research was to investigate the influence of landscape-scale forest structure on the presence of pileated woodpeckers (Dryocopus pileatus) in central Ontario forests. Study sites were located in Algonquin ...

Vast areas of forests have been degraded in Ghana. The degraded areas are generally invaded by Chromolaena odorata, a strong competing species for trees. Planting is the major primary means that is currently used to ...

The focus of the project was to compare the performance of several alternative models in predicting the potential impacts of timber harvesting on a moose population northwest of Edmonton, Alberta, in terms of moose ...

Wood fibre recovery levels of harvesting systems have increased steadily since the advent of mechanized logging in northwestern Ontario. Although wood utilization levels are commonly better than the legal specifications ...
