Ecological Issues Related to Second-growth Boreal Forest Management in Eastern Quebec, Canada: Expert Perspectives from a Delphi Process
Resource
The Eastern boreal forests of Quebec, Canada, have been extensively harvested over the past decades. Second growth stands originating from sites harvested between 1920 and 1950 will soon reach the...
Ecologically-based Criteria to Assess the Impact and Recovery of Seismic Lines: The Importance of Width, Regeneration, and Seismic Density
Resource
We conducted a series of surveys to evaluate wildlife responses to different types of seismic lines in bogs, conifer‐dominated, mixedwood and deciduous forests in the western boreal forest. Research...
Ecosystem Management in Paludified Boreal Forests: Enhancing Wood Production, Biodiversity, and Carbon Sequestration at the Landscape Level
Resource
Canada’s boreal forest represents an important contributor of the world’s wood supply industry. However, maintaining or increasing productivity of the boreal forest may be challenging in areas...
Edge Effects of Conventional Seismic Lines in Northern Alberta Peatlands
Resource
Research poster presented at the NAIT 7th Seminar on Linear Disturbance Impacts on Boreal Wetland Ecosystems.
Edge Influence of Low-impact Seismic Lines for Oil Exploration on Upland Forest Vegetation in Northern Alberta (Canada).
Resource
Low-impact seismic (LIS) techniques were developed to reduce the environmental footprint of oil exploration. Though relatively narrow (~2–3 m) and constructed with light-weight equipment, these lines...
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 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...
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.
Evaluation of Threshold Freezing Conditions for Winter Road Construction over Discontinuous Permafrost Peatlands, Subarctic Canada
Resource

Examining Management Scenarios to Mitigate Wildfire Hazard to Caribou
Resource
We undertook a wildfire risk assessment across the Cold Lake caribou range where we used the Burn-P3 model to determine: a) burn probability; b) wildfire risk to restored seismic line areas; and c) the effectiveness of mitigation measures. The burn probability of the landscape was highly heterogeneous, and recent large burns and some waterbodies provided “shields” that reduced burn probability on their leeward sides.
Exploring the Tradeoffs Among Forest Planning, Roads and Wildlife Corridors: A New Approach

Extending the National Burned Area Composite Time Series of Wildfires in Canada
Resource
This study created a 35-year time series of wildfire burned areas in Canada from 1986 to 2020, using data from satellite imagery and aerial surveys. Wildfires are a major natural disturbance in Canada...
Factors Influencing the Seasonal Diet Selection by Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in Boreal Forest in Ontario
Resource
We used remote video cameras over a two-year period to assess seasonal diet composition of 23 woodland caribou at three areas across the boreal forest of Ontario. Diet varied by season, land-cover...
