Opportunities and Limitations of Thinning to Increase Resistance and Resilience of Trees and Forests to Global Change
Resource
We reviewed recent literature to identify the positive and negative effects of thinning on both stand- and treelevel resistance and resilience to four stressors that are expected to increase in...
Optisource: A Tool for Optimizing Seed Transfer
Resource
Can seedlings intended for reforestation be planted anywhere, regardless of the seed source from which they were obtained? The Optisource software was developed to help forest managers answer this...
Peatland Drainage and Improvement Program (Phase 2): Controlling Water Table Levels to Enhance Tree Establishment and Growth

Three experimental forest drainage sites were established in Alberta’s boreal forest to determine the effects of lowered water tables on soils, local hydrology, ground vegetation composition and tree...
Peatlands Promote Fire Refugia In Boreal Forests Of Northern Alberta, Canada
Resource
Abstract In the boreal forests of North America, large wildfires often leave residual patches of unburned vegetation, termed fire refugia, which can affect post-fire ecosystem processes. Although...
Peatlands Reduce Fire Severity and Promote Fire Refugia in Boreal Forests

In the boreal biome of North America, large wildfires usually leave behind residual patches of unburned vegetation, termed refugia, which can strongly affect post-fire ecosystem processes. While...
Petawawa Research Forest: Applied Science at its Finest!
Resource
Since 1918, forest researchers have used the Petawawa Research Forest to establish long term experiments and have collected data using varied and innovative techniques to learn how trees grow within...
Physiology and Mechanisms of Airborne Pollutant Injury to Vegetation, 1979-80
Resource
Appreciable changes in biochemical functions in an epiphytic lichen, Evernia mesomorpha, were observed in response to controlled SO2 exposures even at a very low SO2 concentration (0.1 ppm)
Phytoremediation Efficacy of Salix discolor and S. eriocephela on Adjacent Acidic Clay and Shale Overburden on a Former Mine Site: Growth, Soil, and Foliage Traits
Resource
Plants regularly experience suboptimal environments, but this can be particularly acute on highly disturbed mine sites such as the extensive coal mine spoils in central New Brunswick. Willows have...
