Comparing the spatial pattern of fire and harvest disturbance in boreal Ontario watersheds
(2016)
Fire and harvest are both major sources of disturbance in Ontario’s boreal forest.
They are largely responsible for successional patterns in forest vegetation, and influence
regimes of hydrologic change in boreal streams, ...
The economic value of recovering the town of Oakville's urban forest after the impacts of the emerald ash borer
(2019)
The Town of Oakville is responsible for maintaining some 2,016,500 city trees planted within boulevards on the city’s streets (UFORE 2016). Prior to the emerald ash borer, ash trees represented the top 5 most trees planted ...
Exploring the potential to minimize forest road cost in Ontario with LiDAR and RoadENG
(2019)
The objective of this study was to determine if light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and RoadENG could produce a more cost-effective road design than a field-based road design. A Triangulated irregular network (TIN) was ...
Role of woodlot licence program in BC forest sector
(2018)
Woodlot licences in British Columbia are small area-based tenures, held by individuals, small groups or families. Woodlot licences are often located in or near local communities and are thought to be in a better position ...
North American pinewood nematode disease in China
(2019)
The pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) is an important alien
invasive species in China. This pinewood nematode poses a serious threat to Chinese
forests. It does have an important impact on forestry, including ...
Classification of red pine stands using remote sensing techniques
(2019)
Red pine is a historically important species for forestry in the boreal forest. Its large diameter and straight and knot free form has made it ideal for many purposes, including construction. With the new sudden turn towards ...
Developing an experimental setup for Thunder Bay waste pollution control plant (WPCP) to evaluate UV lamp performance
(2019)
An automated experimental setup was developed to measure the spectral irradiance of new low pressure (LP) ultraviolet lamp (UV). The experimental analysis was performed by the measurement of the UV intensity along the ...
Optimum switch sizing for class DE amplifier
(2018)
Recently, integrated class DE ampli fiers without matching networks have been proposed as
a compact solution to drive a multi-element piezoelectric ultrasound transducer array for high-intensity
focused ultrasound (HIFU) ...
The dynamic effects of tree species diversity on nitrogen in soil
(2019)
The availability of nitrogen in soil is one of the most important factors for tree
growth. Although tree species mixtures are known to increase forest productivity, it
remains unclear how they affect soil nitrogen. In ...
Community-powered local energy planning and transitioning in off-grid northwestern Ontario First Nation communities
(2019)
Accessing reliable and affordable electricity is a challenge for Canada’s remote First Nations in northwestern Ontario. These off-grid communities rely on expensive and environmentally harmful diesel-powered electricity, ...
