Annosus Root and Butt Rot Caused by Heterobasidion Irregular in Pines
Resource
Annosus root and butt rot appeared in Quebec relatively recently and its progression still seems to be fairly limited. However, the capacity of this disease to spread over long distances and the value...
Annual Aboveground Carbon Uptake Enhancements from Assisted Gene Flow in Boreal Black Spruce Forests Are Not Long-Lasting
Resource
Assisted gene flow between populations has been proposed as an adaptive forest management strategy that could contribute to the sequestration of carbon. Here we provide an assessment of the mitigation...
Application of Artificial Substrate Samplers to Assess Enrichment of Metals of Concern by River Floodwaters to Lakes Across the Peace-Athabasca Delta
Resource
Potential for downstream delivery of contaminants via Athabasca River floodwaters to lakes of the PAD has raised local to international concern. Here, we quantify enrichment of eight metals (Be, Cd...
Applications of Simulation-Based Burn Probability Modelling: A Review
Resource
Wildland fire scientists and land managers working in fire-prone areas require spatial estimates of wildfire potential. To fulfill this need, a simulation-modelling approach was developed whereby...
Are Climates in Canada and the United States Suitable for the European Spruce Bark Beetle, Ips typographus, and its Fungal Associate, Endoconidiophora polonica?
Resource
Invasions of exotic forest insects and pathogens can devastate evolutionarily naïve habitats and could cause irreversible changes to urban and natural ecosystems. Given the ever-increasing volume of...
Assessing the Climate Suitability and Potential Economic Impacts of Oak Wilt in Canada
Resource
Oak wilt is a disease that kills oak trees and is caused by a fungus named Bretziella fagacearum. Though not currently found in Canada, our distribution models indicate that suitable climate...
Assessing the Impact of Fine-Scale Structure on Predicting Wood Fibre Attributes of Boreal Conifer Trees and Forest Plots
Resource
Information about wood fibre attributes (WFA) is important for optimizing forest resource management and increasing the competitiveness of the sector. Many factors influence WFA at both the plot (e.g...
Assessing the Influence of Climate on the Growth Rate of Boreal Tree Species in Northeastern Canada Through Long Term Permanent Sample Plot Datasets
Resource
Climate has a considerable influence on tree growth. Forest managers benefit from the empirical study of the historic relationship between climatic variables and tree growth to support forest...
Assessing the Long-term Economic Interactions between Industrial Forestry Activities, Non-renewable Resource Extraction and Caribou Recovery
Resource
There is an existing gap in knowledge on the economic impacts of caribou recovery measures on forestry activities and non-renewable resource extraction. To address this knowledge gap, this project...
Assessing the Long-term Ecosystem Productivity Benefits and Potential Impacts of Forests Re-established on a Mine Tailings Site
Resource
It can be really hard to get plants and trees to grow on former mine sites, especially if the soil is contaminated by the mining waste material, which is called tailings. In an area of mine tailings...
Assessment of Potential for Remote Sensing Detection of Bark Beetle-Infested Areas During Green Attack: A Literature Review
Resource
Changes observed in the foliage of trees killed by bark beetles are usually described in terms of stages that have been related to a specific timeframe. The “green attack” stage is the period of time...
Automated Characterization of Forest Canopy Vertical Layering for Predicting Forest Inventory Attributes by Layer Using Airborne LiDAR Data
Resource
Forest canopy vertical layering influences stand development and yield and is critical information for forest management planning and wood supply analysis. It is also relevant for other applications...
Automated Precise Seeding With Drones and Artificial Intelligence: A Workflow
Resource
Aerial seeding with drones has great potential in forest restoration but faces enormous challenges to be efficient and scalable. Current protocols use blanket seeding throughout the area to be...
Balancing Large-scale Wildlife Protection and Forest Management Goals with a Game-theoretic Approach
Resource
When adopted, wildlife protection policies in Canadian forests typically cover large areas and affect multiple economic agents working in these landscapes. Such measures are likely to increase the...
Balsam Fir-Yellow Birch Forest Succession in the Lower St. Lawrence Region
Resource
In Quebec, the bioclimatic zone of balsam fir-yellow birch covers an area of 94,768 km 2. Some of the forest cover types in the area, such as balsam fir-yellow birch, are among the most productive in...
Baseline Condition of Jack Pine Biomonitoring Plots in the Athabasca Oil Sands Area, 1976-1977
Resource
No measureable air pollutant effect was observed on either vascular or lichen communities at any site even though significantly high tissue pollutant concentrations were documented within 10km of GCOS
