Climate change is already affecting Canada’s forests. Current visible effects include changes in the frequency and severity of disturbances (such as fires, drought, severe storms, and damaging insect...
This fibre fact provides an overview of how salvage logging can provide an opportuntiy for the forest industry to supply Canada's bioeconomy with wood fibre as well as regenerate a forest.
Climate change is an undeniable reality, and the boreal forest's response to accelerated global warming will surely have a major impact on forest ecosystems. The effect that higher concentrations of...
Context Forest landscapes at the boreal–temperate ecotone have been extensively altered. Reducing the gap between current and presettlement forest conditions through ecosystem-based forest management...
