Les Brèves du Service canadien des forêts, Centre de foresterie des Laurentides
Resource
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...
Lignes directrices relatives à la préservation des sites forestiers écosensibles dans les boisés privés situés dans la Forêt modèle de Fundy
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...
Linking Habitat, Predators and Alternative Prey to Explain Recruitment Variations of an Endangered Caribou Population
Resource
Habitat loss, fragmentation and alteration are frequently identified as important threats to biodiversity, inducing major changes in the structure and composition of species communities and the...
Links Between Individual Performance, Trace Elements and Stable Isotopes in an Endangered Caribou Population
Resource
Foraging is a key behaviour, and several aspects of foraging remain to be investigated in many wild species. Low energy gain or reduced protein, nutrient, and mineral intake may explain poor...
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...
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...
Maintaining Animal Assemblages Through Single-species Management: The Case of Threatened Caribou in Boreal Forest
Resource
With the intensification of human activities, preserving animal populations is a contemporary challenge of critical importance. In this context, the umbrella species concept is appealing because...
Management of Root Diseases by Stumping and Push-falling
Resource
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...
Management-mediated Predation Rate in the Caribou–Moose–Wolf System: Spatial Configuration of Logging Activities Matters
Resource
Landscape complexity can determine the population dynamics of interacting predators and prey. Yet, management plans are commonly developed from aspatial predictive models. This oversight may result in...
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...
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 Dominant Boreal Tree Species Groups by Combining Area-Based and Individual Tree Crown LiDAR Metrics with Sentinel-2 Data
Resource
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...
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...
