Influence of riparian harvesting on boreal understory vegetation
(2014-01-22)
In the boreal forest, understory vegetation accounts for the majority of floristic diversity and affects overstory succession and productivity, nutrient cycling, and wildlife habitat. In
riparian forests, understory ...
Adaptability in moose (Alces alces L) : habitat selection in two landscapes in Newfoundland, Canada
(2014-01-22)
Moose (Alces alces [L.]) exist circumglobally and in a vast array of different habitats. I explore differences in habitat selection in relation to differences in availability of forest stands by habitat type and number of ...
Natural resource management and Indigenous food systems in Northern Ontario
(2014-12-16)
The forests and freshwaters of Northern Ontario are complex
socio-ecological systems that have provided opportunities to
sustain local lives, economies, and cultures since time
immemorial. Through nation-to-nation ...
Terrestrial lichen abundance in relation to stand structure and silvicultural history
(2014-01-22)
Terrestrial lichen has been identified as an important factor contributing to suitable woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) winter habitat. Conservation efforts to maintain viable populations of woodland caribou ...
Tracking habitat use by boreal toads in disturbed forest on the boreal plain in Alberta
(2014-12-05)
Radio-telemetry is an effective way of collecting detailed information on the behaviour of a great many species. However, the presence of the radio-transmitter may influence the behaviour of the subject, an effect for which ...
Leaf morphological and anatomical variations of paper birch populations along environmental gradients across Canada
(2014-12-12)
Leaf morphology and anatomy have been found to vary considerably among tree
species, and leaf characteristics have widely been used for analyzing plant growth and
resource use strategies because of their structural ...
Integrating a tactical harvest-scheduling model with a log sort-yard location model
(2014-01-22)
Failure to sort logs prior to their transportation to a mill can result in a loss of
value in the forest products supply chain—for unsorted, higher value logs can be used in
a low-value product where lower valued logs ...
Investigation of winter habitat selection by woodland caribou in relation to forage abundance and snow accumulation
(2014-01-22)
Imprecision and misclassification of land cover types are two issues commonly
encountered in habitat selection studies using satellite land cover classifications and
telemetry data. Here, the utility of broad land cover ...
Genetic variation and adaptation of white birch populations across Canada
(2014-01-22)
Trees adapt to local climates, however growing concern surrounding climate
change has generated predictions suggesting mass extinction or redistribution of taxa
across the landscape. A lack of redistribution will result ...
Charcoal in North American boreal forests: implications for carbon storage and management
(2014-01-22)
Charcoal plays an important role in boreal soil function and carbon storage, and is present in most boreal forest soils as a result of naturally recurring wildfires. Charcoal management has been proposed as a potentially ...
