Maximizing Natural Trembling Aspen Seedling Establishment on a Reclaimed Boreal Oil Sands Site
Resource
Actively facilitating the natural establishment of trees on reclamation sites is seen as an important step in ecosystem recovery after oil sands mining. We examined the effect of different reclamation...
Measuring Vegetation Height in Linear Disturbances in the Boreal Forest with UAV Photogrammetry
Resource
Monitoring vegetation recovery typically requires ground measurements of vegetation height, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Recently, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have shown great...
Meeting Caribou in the Alpine: Do Moose Compete with Caribou for Food?
Resource
The Atlantic-Gaspesie caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) is an endangered, isolated population that has been declining for decades in response to intensive logging. Timber harvesting has led to a...
Methodologies for Maintaining the Softwood Component in Boreal Mixedwoods
Resource
White spruce ( Picea glauca [Moench] Voss) seedlings were operationally outplanted in May 1993 on a boreal mixedwood site in Biggs Township, Ontario. A factorial randomized block design with four...
Methodology for the Reclamation of Phosphogypsum Stacks in Canada Using Afforestation
Resource
The video for this guide can be found here: www.cclmportal.ca/resource/reclamation-phosphogypsum-stacks-using-afforestation-video The goal of this operations guide is to assist those who seek to...
Metrics for Assessing Fisheries Productivity and Offsetting Strategies under Canada’s New Fisheries Act
Resource
Best predictors for fisheries productivity remain the quantity and quality of available fish habitat combined with abundance, size structure data and species composition within the given habitats
Microbial Community Structural and Functional Differentiation in Capped Thickened Oil Sands Tailings Planted With Native Boreal Species
Resource
The oil sands mining operations in Alberta have produced billions of m3 of tailings which must be reclaimed and integrated into various mine closure landforms, including terrestrial landforms...
Migration-Based Simulations for Canadian Trees Show Limited Tracking of Suitable Climate under Climate Change
Resource
Species distribution modelling (SDM) has been used to understand how climate affects where tree species currently grow and how those suitable climate conditions could change in the future. These...
Minimizing Losses to Armillaria Root Rot in Ontario Spruce
Resource
Armillaria root rot is the most widespread and destructive root disease of trees in Ontario. The main species found within the province is Armillaria ostoyae [Romagnesi| Kerink (Dumas 1988) which...
Minimizing Losses to Tomentosus Root Rot in Ontario
Resource
Tomentosus root rot is one of three major pathogens discussed in greater detail in The Hidden Enemy (Whitney 1988). This technical note presents a practical summary of this and other publications for...
Mitigating the Effects of Insect Outbreaks for Sustainable Forest Management
Resource
Insect outbreaks are natural and recurring disturbances that have a greater impact on wood-fibre supply than wildfires. Proactive rather than reactive management strategies provide the best...
Model-based, Volume-to-biomass Conversion for Forested and Vegetated Land in Canada
Resource
The demand for forest biomass information has increased substantially in recent years, and, in response, new models have been developed to estimate biomass of forest stands and the more common...
Modeling Climatic Influences on Three Parasitoids of Low-Density Spruce Budworm Populations
Resource
Despite their importance as mortality factors of many insects, the detailed biology and ecology of parasitoids often remain unknown. To gain insights into the spatiotemporal biology of insect...
Monitoring Ecological Recovery of Reclaimed Wellsites: Protocols for Quantifying Recovery on Forested Lands
Resource
We developed a scientifically robust and financially sustainable monitoring protocol to enable a consistent assessment of ecological recovery at reclaimed industrial wellsites in forested lands
Moose, Caribou, and Fire: Have We Got it Right Yet?
Resource
Natural disturbance plays a key role in shaping community dynamics. Within Canadian boreal forests, the dominant form of natural disturbance is fire, and its effects are thought to influence the...
