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...
Effects of Land Use on the Structure and Function of Leaf-litter Microbial Communities in Boreal Streams
Resource
Microbial communities associated with leaf litter in streams provide key ecosystem services through the cycling of energy and nutrients that can be influenced by environmental factors. We examined the...
Effects of Mechanical Site Preparation on Microsite Availability and Growth of Planted Black Spruce in Canadian Paludified Forests
Resource
Low productivity caused by paludification in some parts of the closed black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P) dominated boreal forest threatens the provision of ecosystem services, including wood...
Effects of Partial Cutting on the Incidences of Tree Wounding, Microbial Succession and Tree Mortality
Resource
One of the challenges of partial cutting operations is minimizing damage to residual trees. In these types of cuts, large pieces of forestry equipment must be manoeuvred in somewhat confined spaces...
Effects of Removal of the Paperpot Container on Growth and Development of Black Spruce Seedlings on a Drained Peatland Clearcut in Northeastern Ontario
Resource
This report discusses the results of a study of 60 black spruce ( Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) paperpot seedlings, of which half were planted with the paper container removed. Planting was done on a...
Effects of Silvicultural Systems and Vegetation Control on Tree Growth in a Coastal Montane Ecosystem: Seven Year Results
Resource
Technology Transfer Notes are a series of publications focusing on forestry research applications. Technology Transfer Notes offer new techniques, methods, tools and procedures, and deliver research...
Enhanced Revegetation and Reclamation of Oil Sands Disturbed Sites Using Actinorhizal and Mycorrhizal Biotechnology
Resource
Preliminary results, after two growth seasons, show promise in the use of pre-inoculated seedlings in enhancing growth and establishment of alders and conifers on oil sands reclamation sites.
Ensuring Long-Term Productivity of Forest Ecosystems
Resource
One of the goals of forest management is to sustain site productivity so that repeated harvests can be undertaken without loss in growth potential. Canada promotes the development of sustainable...
Environmental and Ecological Footprint of Seismic Lines in Alberta
Resource
Presentation from the Seismic Line Restoration Technical Session Edmonton, AB December 1 st , 2016 Organized by the Canadian Institute of Forestry This technical session will facilitate discussion and...
Environmental Effects on Host Selection and Dispersal of Mountain Pine Beetle
Resource
We investigated the influence of landscape heterogeneity on processes that could influence the dispersal of mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae. Host tree quality, as measured by tree...
Estimating Lichen Biomass in Forests and Peatlands of Northwestern Canada in a Changing Climate
Resource
Climate warming in the North could lead to lichen decline within critical woodland caribou habitat. We used repeat measurements of sixty-nine plots over ten years (2007–2008 and 2017–2018) to assess...
Estimating the Size of the Reclamation and Restoration Economy and Supply Chain in Alberta
Resource
Based on 115 respondents, the survey highlights that the R&R economy in Alberta is robust, with 2 056 employees working at least part-time and 1 488 fulltime equivalent positions.
