Hardwood Planting on Abandoned Farmland in Southern Ontario: Revised Guide
Resource
"A Guide to Hardwood Planting on Abandoned Farmland in Southern Ontario" was first published in 1979. In the past 10 years, much new knowledge has been gained about species requirements and new...
Harmonizing Multi-Temporal Airborne Laser Scanning Point Clouds to Derive Periodic Annual Height Increments in Temperate Mixedwood Forests
Resource
When combining multi-temporal airborne laser scanning (ALS) data sets, forest height growth assessments can be compromised due to variations in ALS acquisitions. Herein, we demonstrate the importance...
Health of North American Forests
Resource
Forests are environmentally and economically important in North America, and forest health is monitored to enable policy decisions to be made on factors affecting forest health. Forests are subject to...
Heavy Metal Dynamics in the Athabasca River: Sediment Concentrations Prior to Major Alberta Oil Sands Development
Resource
To document the natural heavy metal geochemistry of the sediment and to assess cultural influences if any on concentrations. Absolute concentrations are low compared to data for polluted sediments
Heavy Metals in Bottom Sediments of the Mainstem Athabasca River System in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Dredged sediments and sediment cores were collected from sites along the Athabasca River system from between Fort McMurray and the confluence of Riviere des Rochers with the Slave River

How Climate Change Might Affect Tree Regeneration Following Fire at Northern Latitudes: A Review
Resource
Climate change is projected to increase fire severity and frequency in the boreal forest, but it could also directly affect post-fire recruitment processes by impacting seed production, germination...
How Does Canada Report on Forest GHG Emissions?
Resource
Each year, the Canadian Forest Service (CFS) provides estimates of the amount of carbon in our managed forests and the changes in these amounts over time. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC)...
