There is renewed interest in the management of eastern white pine ( Pinus strobus L.) for high-quality wood production. Several tree improvement programs have been implemented for the last few decades...
Annosus root and butt rot appeared in Quebec relatively recently and its progression still seems to be fairly limited. However, the capacity of this disease to spread over long distances and the value...
Large-area land cover maps are produced to satisfy different information needs. Land cover maps having partial or complete spatial and/or temporal overlap, different legends, and varying accuracies...
Canada has extensive forests and peatlands that play key roles in global carbon cycle. Canadian soils and peatlands are assumed to store approximately 20% of the world’s soil carbon stock. However...
Topics covered: A silvicultural approach more suited to boreal forests Defining old-growth forests within boreal forests Do ecological region and drainage have an impact on the site quality index of...
Among the most useful control methods for the defoliating pest spruce budworm is tebufenozide. Tebufenozide is an insect growth regulator that, when ingested, stimulates abnormal and fatal moutling in...
The fruticose lichens Cladina stellaris and Cladina rangiferina, form thick mats that can cover large areas of northern peatlands (above c. 50° latitude), including the extensive peatlands of the...
This manual provides management guidelines aimed at protecting biodiversity in ecologically sensitive sites found on private woodlots within the 420 000-ha Fundy Model Forest of southeastern New...
Long-term data from established field experiments are required to properly evaluate different silvicultural options and to provide the basis for development and validation of growth models. Such data...
From 1981 to 1984, nineteen experimental plantations were established on a range of eight typical reforested sectors in seven regions of Quebec. Included in the experiments, which took place during...
Technology Transfer Notes are a new series of publications focusing on forestry research applications. Technology Transfer Notes offer new techniques, methods, tools and procedures, and deliver...
This fact sheet provides an overview of a red pine spacing trial experiment established in 1953 near the Petawawa Research Forest (PRF) in Chalk River, Ontario, Canada. The experiment provides...
Coarse woody debris (CWD; large parts of dead trees) is a vital element of forest ecosystems, playing an important role in nutrient cycling, carbon storage, fire fuel, microhabitats, and overall...
Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data are increasingly used to inform sustainable forest management practices. Information about species composition is needed for a range of applications...
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Cosmin Filipescu and colleagues present a lecture to the Canadian Institute of Forestry on alternative silvicultural systems in montane environments. The authors compared clear cutting, green tree...
White spruce ( Picea glauca [Moench] Voss) seedlings were operationally outplanted in May 1993 on a boreal mixedwood site in Biggs Township, Ontario. A factorial randomized block design with four...
