Bur Oak (Quercus Macrocarpa) Biomass Production on a Former Coal Mine Site: Positive Effects of Coppicing on Rapid Recovery of Growth and Yield
Resource
Ten-year-old bur oak ( Quercus macrocarpa Michx.) saplings established on the exposed, infertile, treeless barrens of a former coal mine site in New Brunswick, Canada, were harvested to assess the...
Buried Wood Effects on Macronutrient Supply and Microbial Activity and Metabolic Potential in Different Oil Sands Reclamation Soils in Northern Alberta
Resource
Buried wood is an important yet understudied component of natural and anthropogenic soils. Nutrient immobilization as a response to wood addition during oil sands' reclamation may be a concern since...
Burned Timber: Salvage Logging to Promote Regeneration
Resource
To make up for timber losses caused by fire, salvage logging of burned timber is an economically attractive option. Improved logging practices could promote the establishment of regeneration while...
Burrowing Owl Climate Change Adaptation Plan for Alberta
Resource
This report is intended to provide some adaptation strategies that are focused on management of Burrowing Owls in the face of a changing climate.
Butternut: What Are Its Odds Against Canker?
Resource
The continuing spread of butternut canker constitutes the greatest threat to the survival of butternut trees, which have been protected under the Species at Risk Act since 2005. Furthermore, growing...
Calcareous Soils, Their Properties and Potential Limitations to Conifer Growth in Southeastern British Columbia and Western Alberta: A Literature Review
Resource
This report is a review of published literature on calcareous soils and their role in the productivity of coniferous forests in southwestern British Columbia and western Alberta. Definitions, origins...
Canada Warbler Response to Vegetation Structure on Regenerating Seismic Lines
Resource
Seismic lines have an extensive footprint in Canada's western boreal forest that alter habitat conditions for many species. Seismic lines exist within a range of seral states due to changing practices...
Canada Yew: Developing a Value-Added Crop for Northern Ontario
Resource
Canada yew (Taxus canadensis Marsh.) is a native evergreen shrub found in most of Ontario that contains anticancer compounds called taxanes in its needles, bark, and roots. In 2004, a research project...
Canada’s Forest Biodiversity: A Decade of Progress in Sustainable Management
Resource
This report profiles Canada’s success in conserving forest biodiversity. It also assesses our progress in meeting commitments under the Canadian Biodiversity Strategy.
Canadian Carbon Program and Fluxnet Research Sites Canadian Forest Service Ground-Level Research
Resource
Canada’s forests play an important role in the global carbon cycle. Forests exchange carbon dioxide with the atmosphere through the processes of photosynthesis, respiration, and decomposition. The...
Canadian Forests Exposed to the Winds of Change
Resource
With climate change, Canada’s forests will be exposed to rapid changes in their environment, including variations in temperature and precipitation. Tree species will have to migrate to find the...
Canopy Nitrogen Addition and Soil Warming Affect Conifer Seedlings’ Phenology but Have Limited Impact on Growth and Soil N Mineralization in Boreal Forests of Eastern Canada
Resource
The increase in soil organic matter mineralization rate in boreal forests that may result from global warming is a major concern as it could release large amounts of C to the atmosphere. On the other...
Carbon and Nitrogen Mineralization and Microbial Succession in Oil Sands Reclamation Soils Amended with Pyrogenic Carbon
Resource
Rebuilding native forest soils in reclamation will require the use of biochar to stimulate functional similarity to native ecosystems for nutrient availability and microbial community succession
Catalog of Provenance Trials Applicable to Climate Change Adaptation Research
Resource
When considering the potential impacts of climate change in forests, researchers need examples. Whether the questions are ecological, biological, physical, economic, or social, our predictions...
