Techno-economic analysis and supply chain design for a forest biorefinery to produce value-added bio-based products from lignin
(2019)
By far, several commercial projects for production of lignin-based chemicals started
operations around the world. For instance, the LignoBoost process was installed by Domtar
in 2013 in the United States, and in 2015 by ...
Using unmanned aerial vehicles and wildlife camera trapping for the early assessment of road reclamation effects in Northern Ontario
(2019)
The forest industry has been performing forest road reclamation to regenerate forests after harvest, to maintain wildlife habitat and to limit forest access by the public, all to help maintain large, contiguous wild forests. ...
Phenology, growth and physiological responses to photoperiod and elevated [CO2] of boreal white birch (Betula papyrifera Marsh): implications to climate change-induced northward migration
(2019)
With the increase in average global temperature due to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]), rapid shifts of climate envelopes are expected to lead to norward migration for boreal tree species. As a ...
Plant diversity effect on soil carbon dynamics
(2019)
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a valuable natural resource, supplying goods and services for human benefits, including mediating global climate change and securing food production and environmental quality. Biodiversity loss ...
Global environmental change effects on forest dynamics: lessons from permanent sample plot networks
(2019)
Global environmental change caused by anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gasses is a major threat to forest ecosystems globally. Before we can begin to adequately mitigate these threats, we first must understand how ...
Effects of water availability, longer photoperiod, and elevated [CO2] on the potential of the northward migration in trembling aspen (populus tremuloides michx.)
(2019)
Based on climate envelope models, boreal tree species may migrate to higher latitudes (approximately 10˚N toward the north) in response to rapid climate changes by the end of this century. Multiple factors will likely ...
Assessing the effectiveness of airborne thermal technology for delineating environmental thermal effluent
(2019)
Bruce Power Generating Station is located on the shores of Lake Huron and is responsible for generating 30% of the Province of Ontario’s electrical need on a daily basis. Lake Huron is the 5th largest freshwater lake by ...
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, ...
