Wildfire dynamics of mixedwood boreal forests in central Canada
(2009)
Natural disturbances play a key role to forest regeneration, nutrient cycling, wildlife habitat, biodiversity, and climate regulation. A synthesis of literature indicated that boreal forest stand structure is largely a ...
Variation in vessel diameter and leaf area of white birch (Betula papyrifera) along moisture gradients in Canada
(2010)
One of the key hypotheses of this research is that white birch that has evolved in wet areas will have larger vessels than those trees that evolved in dry areas. Since the wet areas are less likely to experience drought ...
Adapting to change, perceptions and knowledges in the involvement of Aboriginal peoples in forest management : a case study with Lac Seul First Nation
(2009)
This study examines the involvement of Aboriginal peoples in forest management and their perceptions and understandings of the forest, forest management, participation, consultation and Aboriginal and Treaty rights in ...
Plantation establishment following chemical site preparation with triclopyr and plantation release with triclopyr-glyphosate herbicide mixtures
(1996)
Two field studies were conducted to evaluate the use of Release™ (triclopyr ester) for
chemical site preparation and its use in mixture with glyphosate for jack pine (Pinus banksiana
Lamb.) plantation release.
Natural decay resistance of some Ghanaian timbers and wood decay hazard potential for Ghana
(1996)
The natural decay resistance of 30 Ghanaian wood species, the decay capacity of four
wood decay fungi, the effect of test method on fungal decay ability, and the wood decay hazard
potential in Ghana were determined. Five ...
Effects of roads and log hauling on woodland caribou use of a traditional wintering area near Armstrong, Ontario
(1997)
Increasing concern for the viability of forest-dwelling woodland
caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Ontario has resulted in
recommendations for more restrictive timber harvesting practices.
Caribou populations have ...
Silviculture, growth and yield of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) plantations in northern Ghana
(1996)
The silviculture and growth and yield of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) grown
in individual and community plantations in the Tamale Forest District of Northern Ghana
was investigated in 1995. Owing to rising populations ...
Vegetation response to harvesting, harvesting and prescribed-burning and wildfire in Northwestern Ontario : patterns of reproductive strategies and nutrient accumulation
(1997)
Initial species composition was investigated on a group of boreal
mixedwood sites that had experienced various forms of disturbance. The
hypothesis explored was that environmental changes caused by different
disturbances ...
Growth and yield of teak (Tectona grandis Linn F.) plantations in Northern Ghana
(1998)
Teak (Tectona grandis Linn F.) is a popular exotic species in Ghana, widely
grown in industrial plantations and small scale community woodlots. In spite of its
importance, limited information exists on the growth and ...
Application of a physically based hydrological model on a semi-arid watershed in Northern Ghana
(1997)
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 ...
