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...
Lethal and Sublethal Effects of Topical Tebufenozide Application to Choristoneura Fumiferana Pupae (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
Resource
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...

Resource
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...
Limited Impacts of Extensive Human Land Use on Dominance, Specialization, and Biotic Homogenization in Boreal Plant Communities
Resource
Rank species occupancy curves revealed high species dominance regardless of disturbance: within any disturbance class a few species occupied nearly every site and most species were found in a low...
Long Term Prediction of Vegetation Performance on Mined Sands
Resource
This project on the "Long Term Prediction of Vegetation Performance On Mined Sands" (V.E.6.1) was undertaken to provide management with answers on the predictive ability to maintain different kinds of...
Long-Term Lodgepole Pine Silviculture Trials in Alberta: History and Current Results
Resource
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...

Low-impact Line Construction Retains and Speeds Recovery of Trees on Seismic Lines in Forested Peatlands
Resource
Seismic lines, linear features originating from the oil and gas industry for energy exploration, pose a substantial management challenge due to their collective impact on biogeochemical cycles, plant...
Low-impact Line Construction Retains and Speeds Recovery of Trees on Seismic Lines in Forested Peatlands
Resource
Abstract Seismic lines are linear features created by the oil and gas industry for energy exploration. Though individually narrow, collectively seismic lines are a pervasive management challenge...

Event Date and Time
March 14th, 2024 at 12:00pm MST to March 14th, 2024 at 1:30pm MST
Organization
Humans impact everything, including our soil. We remove, mix and compact soil horizons. We add amendments, including waste materials, to replace soil or improve its health. Soils that that have been...
Main Causes of Mortality and Height Growth of Containerized Seedlings Following Four Reforestation Tests
Resource
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...

Managing Plantation Density for Red Pine: 60-Year-Old Spacing Trial Experiment
Resource
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...
Managing Wolves (Canis Lupus) to Recover Threatened Woodland Caribou (Rangifer Tarandus Caribou) in Alberta
Resource
Across Canada, woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)) populations are declining because of human-induced changes to food webs that are resulting in apparent competition-induced...
Managing Woody Materials on Industrial Sites: Meeting Economic, Ecological and Forest Health Goals
Resource
Leaving woody material on reclaimed sites introduces microsites and variability which serve as critical habitat for a range of native plant species, seedlings, and microorganisms for forest regen
Map Gallery: Climate Change Impact Projections for Boreal Songbirds
Resource
Bioclimatic niche models of current avian distribution and density for 80 boreal-breeding songbird species are mapped based on present counts and climate change models
Mapping Coarse Woody Debris with Random Forest Classification of Centimetric Aerial Imagery
Resource
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...
Mapping Degrading Dendritic Peat Plateaus, NWT, Canada
Resource
In the discontinuous permafrost zone, thermokarst lakes and thermal erosion are widespread and common permafrost thaw-related phenomena. Thermokarst features are indicative of thaw sensitive...
Mapping Dominant Boreal Tree Species Groups by Combining Area-Based and Individual Tree Crown LiDAR Metrics with Sentinel-2 Data
