MASS – Montane Alternative Silvicultural Systems: Lessons Learned Over Three Decades of Research in Coastal BC
Resource
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...
Methodologies for Maintaining the Softwood Component in Boreal Mixedwoods
Resource
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...
Methodology for the Reclamation of Phosphogypsum Stacks in Canada Using Afforestation
Resource
The video for this guide can be found here: www.cclmportal.ca/resource/reclamation-phosphogypsum-stacks-using-afforestation-video The goal of this operations guide is to assist those who seek to...
Metrics for Assessing Fisheries Productivity and Offsetting Strategies under Canada’s New Fisheries Act
Resource
Best predictors for fisheries productivity remain the quantity and quality of available fish habitat combined with abundance, size structure data and species composition within the given habitats
Migration-Based Simulations for Canadian Trees Show Limited Tracking of Suitable Climate under Climate Change
Resource
Species distribution modelling (SDM) has been used to understand how climate affects where tree species currently grow and how those suitable climate conditions could change in the future. These...
Minimizing Losses to Armillaria Root Rot in Ontario Spruce
Resource
Armillaria root rot is the most widespread and destructive root disease of trees in Ontario. The main species found within the province is Armillaria ostoyae [Romagnesi| Kerink (Dumas 1988) which...
Minimizing Losses to Tomentosus Root Rot in Ontario
Resource
Tomentosus root rot is one of three major pathogens discussed in greater detail in The Hidden Enemy (Whitney 1988). This technical note presents a practical summary of this and other publications for...
Mitigating the Effects of Insect Outbreaks for Sustainable Forest Management
Resource
Insect outbreaks are natural and recurring disturbances that have a greater impact on wood-fibre supply than wildfires. Proactive rather than reactive management strategies provide the best...
Model-based, Volume-to-biomass Conversion for Forested and Vegetated Land in Canada
Resource
The demand for forest biomass information has increased substantially in recent years, and, in response, new models have been developed to estimate biomass of forest stands and the more common...
Modeling Climatic Influences on Three Parasitoids of Low-Density Spruce Budworm Populations
Resource
Despite their importance as mortality factors of many insects, the detailed biology and ecology of parasitoids often remain unknown. To gain insights into the spatiotemporal biology of insect...
Monitoring Ecological Recovery of Reclaimed Wellsites: Protocols for Quantifying Recovery on Forested Lands
Resource
We developed a scientifically robust and financially sustainable monitoring protocol to enable a consistent assessment of ecological recovery at reclaimed industrial wellsites in forested lands
Moose, Caribou, and Fire: Have We Got it Right Yet?
Resource
Natural disturbance plays a key role in shaping community dynamics. Within Canadian boreal forests, the dominant form of natural disturbance is fire, and its effects are thought to influence the...
Motorized Activity on Legacy Seismic Lines: A Predictive Modeling Approach to Prioritize Restoration Efforts
Resource
Natural regeneration of seismic lines, cleared for hydrocarbon exploration, is slow and often hindered by vegetation damage, soil compaction, and motorized human activity. There is an extensive...
Mounding Site Preparation for Jack Pine and Black Spruce in Boreal Ontario: Five Year Results
Resource
Eleven plantations of each of jack pine ( Pinus banksiana Lamb.) and black spruce ( Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) were established with bareroot stock during a 3-year period beginning in 1980 on sites...
