Decay of Living Western Redcedar: A Literature Review
Resource
An overview of literature relevant to decay in living western redcedar is provided. Despite the species’ reputation for decay resistant heartwood, living western redcedar trees frequently have...
Dendroecology and Genomics in Support of Forest Carbon Capture
Resource
Globally, forests play a significant natural role, as they absorb and sequestrate carbon that would otherwise end up in the atmosphere. This carbon sequestration mitigates the phenomenon commonly...
Detection of an Invisible Foe: Annosus Root and Butt Rot
Resource
Annosus root and butt rot was first reported in Quebec in 1989. The causal fungus enters a pine stand by colonizing the surface of freshly cut stumps. The disease spreads through contact between the...
DetourGold – Mammals Monitoring Program
Project
Contact
Organization:
Wood was awarded a contract in 2008 to undertake baseline wildlife assessments in the study area and develop and conduct a long-term mammals monitoring program (focused on caribou, moose and wolves)...
Development of a Climate-Sensitive Structural Stand Density Management Model for Red Pine
Resource
The primary goal of this study was to develop a climate-sensitive modular-based structural stand density management model for red pine plantations situated within central North America. For a given...
Développement juvénile de 25 familles de pin blanc (Pinus strobus L.) issues de pollinisation libre en plantations mélangées avec l'aulne rugueux (Alnus incana)
Resource
There is renewed interest in the management of eastern white pine ( Pinus strobus L.) for high-quality wood production. Several tree improvement programs have been implemented for the last few decades...
Digging Into Canadian Soils - An Introduction to Soil Science
Resource
Written entirely by members of the Canadian Society of Soil Science, "Digging into Canadian Soils: An Introduction to Soil Science" provides an introduction to the core disciplines of soil science...
Diseases of Black Spruce in Ontario
Resource
Over 70 diseases have been found and recorded on black spruce ( Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) in Ontario (Davis and Myren 1990). They range from vigorous pathogens capable of causing death or serious...
Does Wood Mulch Trigger Microbially Mediated Positive Plant-Soil Feedback in Degraded Boreal Forest Sites? A Post Hoc Study
Resource
Introduction: Reforestation of degraded lands in the boreal forest is challenging and depends on the direction and strength of the plant-soil feedback (PSF). Methods: Using a gradient in tree...
Drivers and Impacts of the Record-Breaking 2023 Fire Season
Resource
A video outlining the major drivers and impacts of the record-breaking 2023 wildfire season in Canada. A PDF of the PowerPoint can be found here.
Eastern Canadian Temperate Deciduous Forest

The Canadian National Vegetation Classification (CNVC) is an ecological classification of natural and semi-natural Canadian vegetation. The classification is a hierarchical taxonomy, describing...
Eastern North American Temperate Hardwood – Conifer Forest
Resource
The Canadian National Vegetation Classification (CNVC) is an ecological classification of natural and semi-natural Canadian vegetation. The classification is a hierarchical taxonomy, describing...
Economic Impacts of Short Rotation Woody Crops in Canada
Resource
Canada is seeking cost-effective means to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, particularly CO2. One of the promising means is the short rotation woody crops (SRWC) plantation, a silvicultural approach...
Effect of Forest Understorey Stand Density on Woodland Caribou Habitat Use
Resource
Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) are considered to preferentially use older forests that provide abundant terrestrial lichen forage and refuge from predators. However, structural...
Effect of Forest Understory Stand Density on Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) Habitat Selection
Resource
Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)) use older forests that provide abundant terrestrial lichen forage and refuge from predators. However, forest structural characteristics...
Effect of Seed Production and Soil Scarification on the Natural Regeneration of a Second-Growth Fir Stand in the Lower St. Lawrence Region
Resource
This study examines the relationship between seed production, soil scarification and seedling establishment in balsam fir ( Abies balsamea [L.] Mill.) and white spruce ( Picea glauca [Moench] Voss)...
Effects of Cell Size and Spacing on Root Density and Field Performance of Container-Reared Black Spruce
Resource
This study examined the effects of nursery rearing in an array of 51 individual fabricated frames that supported a range of six growing cell sizes at 11 plant spacings in all possible combinations. A...
Effects of Disturbance on Understory Succession in Upland and Lowland Boreal Forests and Implications for Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)
Resource
Boreal forest development is influenced by both natural and anthropogenic disturbances that alter stand structure and nutrient cycling over decadal timescales. The effects of disturbance on boreal...
Effects of Harvesting Methods on Soil Properties and Forest Productivity in Interior British Columbia
Resource
Seven treatment units in three different clearcut blocks in the Golden Forest District were studied to assess overall soil disturbance levels resulting from ground-based harvesting using two methods...
