Resource Availability and Physiological Response of Black Spruce to Scarification in Two Climatic Regions of Québec (Canada)
Resource
Scarification is a mechanical site preparation technique designed to create microsites that will favor the growth of planted tree seedlings after clearcutting. However, the positive growth response of...
Restoration and Reclamation of Boreal Ecosystems: Attaining Sustainable Development
Resource
This book is composed of chapters that reveal our current state of knowledge on reclamation and restoration of these boreal ecosystems. The boreal forest, or taiga, is a mosaic of lakes, peatlands...
Results of Vegetation Survey as a Part of Neutralizing Lime Sludge Valorization Assessment
Resource
The use of the lime neutralization process is a common technique to treat acid mine drainage (AMD) generated by sulphidic mine wastes. The AMD-contaminated water collected on the mine site is...

Resource
The current infestation of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) is having a significant effect on the lodgepole pine forests of Interior British Columbia. By 2004, 7 million hectares had...
Review of Best Practices for Tree Planting on Marginal Agriculture Lands in Ontario
Resource
Afforestation, the planting of trees on abandoned or under-utilized agricultural lands, has occurred to varying degrees in Ontario since the turn of the 20th century. Knowledge of plantation...
Revisiting the Functional Zoning Concept under Climate Change to Expand the Portfolio of Adaptation Options
Resource
Climate change is threatening our ability to manage forest ecosystems sustainably. Despite strong consensus on the need for a broad portfolio of options to face this challenge, diversified management...
