Long-Term Lodgepole Pine Silviculture Trials in Alberta: History and Current Results
Resource
Long-term data from established field experiments are required to properly evaluate different silvicultural options and to provide the basis for development and validation of growth models. Such data...
Main Causes of Mortality and Height Growth of Containerized Seedlings Following Four Reforestation Tests
Resource
From 1981 to 1984, nineteen experimental plantations were established on a range of eight typical reforested sectors in seven regions of Quebec. Included in the experiments, which took place during...
Maintaining Animal Assemblages Through Single-species Management: The Case of Threatened Caribou in Boreal Forest
Resource
With the intensification of human activities, preserving animal populations is a contemporary challenge of critical importance. In this context, the umbrella species concept is appealing because...
Management of Root Diseases by Stumping and Push-falling
Resource
Technology Transfer Notes are a new series of publications focusing on forestry research applications. Technology Transfer Notes offer new techniques, methods, tools and procedures, and deliver...
Management-mediated Predation Rate in the Caribou–Moose–Wolf System: Spatial Configuration of Logging Activities Matters
Resource
Landscape complexity can determine the population dynamics of interacting predators and prey. Yet, management plans are commonly developed from aspatial predictive models. This oversight may result in...
Managing Plantation Density for Red Pine: 60-Year-Old Spacing Trial Experiment
Resource
This fact sheet provides an overview of a red pine spacing trial experiment established in 1953 near the Petawawa Research Forest (PRF) in Chalk River, Ontario, Canada. The experiment provides...
Mapping Coarse Woody Debris with Random Forest Classification of Centimetric Aerial Imagery
Resource
Coarse woody debris (CWD; large parts of dead trees) is a vital element of forest ecosystems, playing an important role in nutrient cycling, carbon storage, fire fuel, microhabitats, and overall...
Mapping Dominant Boreal Tree Species Groups by Combining Area-Based and Individual Tree Crown LiDAR Metrics with Sentinel-2 Data
Resource
Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data are increasingly used to inform sustainable forest management practices. Information about species composition is needed for a range of applications...
MASS – Montane Alternative Silvicultural Systems: Lessons Learned Over Three Decades of Research in Coastal BC
Resource
Cosmin Filipescu and colleagues present a lecture to the Canadian Institute of Forestry on alternative silvicultural systems in montane environments. The authors compared clear cutting, green tree...
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...
Merging Indigenous and Scientific Knowledge Links Climate with the Growth of a Large Migratory Caribou Population
Resource
Climate change in the Arctic is two to three times faster than anywhere else in the world. It is therefore crucial to understand the effects of weather on keystone arctic species, particularly those...
Meta-analysis Reveals that Enhanced Practices Accelerate Vegetation Recovery During Peatland Restoration
Resource
Abstract The provision of critical ecosystem services like carbon sequestration by peatlands has been degraded around the globe. Peatland restoration represents an opportunity to tackle the twin...
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...
