Riparian vegetation patterns and links with surface waters in the boreal forest
(2007)
Riparian areas in the Canadian boreal forest represent the transition zone between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Factors that influence riparian vegetation communities and the associated interactions with boreal ...
Introduction to the legacy forest small streams study : runoff patterns and related biogeochemistry on the western portion of the boreal shield
(2007)
The Forest Watershed and Riparian Disturbance (FORWARD) Project is an ongoing study initiated on the western Boreal Plain (northwestern Alberta) in 2001 to incorporate hydrologic processes into industrial forest management. ...
Stand structure differences resulting from post-harvest silviculture in boreal mixedwoods
(2007)
Under the Ontario Forest Accord, several parcels of land have recently been designated as protected areas reducing the area available for forest management. As a result, forestry companies will likely have to intensify ...
Changes in soil nutrient status and seedling performance in response to harvest intensity on upland, shallow site types in Northwestern Ontario : 10th year results
(2007)
Although based on limited empirical data, concerns have been raised that increased nutrient removals associated with full-tree harvesting on shallow-soiled sites may result in reduced productivity in subsequent rotations. ...
Preliminary study of North American schizopora species
(2007)
Macro- and micro-morphological characteristics were examined among specimens of 'Schizopora' paradoxa, 'Schizopora flavipora', and 'Schizopora apacheriensis' collected from temperate and tropical North America. Characteristics ...
Object-oriented and pixel-based image classification using Landsat multispectral and Hyperion hyperspectral imagery in boreal conditions
(2008)
Current environmental trends dictate a need for new methods, initiatives, and technologies that provide reliable, up-to-date forest information. Canada, which is home to ten percent of the Earth's forests, has made national ...
Comparison of growth intercept and site index models of black spruce plantations and natural stands in Northern Ontario
(2008)
Black spruce (Picea mariana Mill. B.S.P.) is one of the most important tree
species in Canada, both ecologically and commercially. The forest industry has steadily
increased efforts to artificially regenerate areas that ...
Environmental drivers of succession in jack pine-dominated stands of boreal Ontario
(2008)
Spanning boreal Ontario, photo chronosequencing was used to observe change
through time in 178 stands comprised at least in part by jack pine (Pinus bansiana
Lamb.). Linked to growth and yield monitoring plot networks ...
Post-fire natural regeneration of young stands on clearcut, partial-cut and uncut sites of boreal mixedwoods : Fire NIP 10 burned stands regeneration analysis
(2008)
Boreal mixedwoods are an important element and the most productive forest type
in the Canadian boreal forests. This research focused on the regeneration of stands burned
by an intense wild fire in Black Sturgeon Boreal ...
Forest structure and small-mammal responses to variable-retention timber harvest in the Cape Breton highlands of Nova Scotia
(2008)
American marten ( Martes americana Turton) are endangered in Nova Scotia and the population on Cape Breton Island is critically low. A marten recovery strategy is in place but there are large gaps in information regarding ...
