Alternative Silvicultural Systems for Harvesting and Regenerating Spruce-Dominated Boreal Mineral Wetlands
Resource
Since 1995, the Canadian Forest Service, Natural Resources Canada has conducted collaborative research with Tolko Industries Ltd. to study alternative silviculture systems as a means of improving...
An Annotated Bibliography of Boreal Mixedwood Literature of the Prairie Provinces
Resource
This bibliography contains 787 references dealing with boreal mixedwood forests and their management. Citations primarily cover the Canadian prairie provinces, but work from other locations is also...
An Ecological Framework to Support the use of Herbicide Alternatives in Boreal and Northern Temperate Forests of Ontario and Quebec: First Approximation
Resource
We present an ecological framework for classifying sites to support vegetation management decisions in the boreal and northern temperate forests of northeastern Ontario and northwestern Quebec. This...
An Ecosystem Carbon Database for Canadian Forests
Resource
The Forest Ecosystem Carbon Database presented in this report was compiled to meet the data needs of large-scale modelers and analysts working with the carbon budgets and dynamics of different forest...
An Entomological Reconnaissance of Syncrude Lease #17 and its Environs
Resource
Entomological reconnaissance study of Syncrude Lease #17 area to gain preliminary data and to examine the potential of insects as biological monitors of environmental changes resulting from Syncrude
An Examination of the Threats and Risks to Forests Arising from Invasive Alien Species
Resource
Invasions by alien organisms into new habitats pose one of the most significant global threats to ecosystem biodiversity and serious threats to economies around the globe. Canada, with its vast...
An Updated Forest Carbon Science Blueprint for Canada: Discussions on Priorities, Goals and Visions for the Coming Decade
Resource
A video outlining major updates to the Forest Carbon Science Blueprint for Canada. The original publication can be found here. The PDF of the presentation can be found here.
Analyzing and Predicting Fire Refugia in Western Canadian Forests
Resource
A video that shows novel research in analyzing and predicting fire refugia in western Canada. A PDF of the PowerPoint can be found here.
Anatomy of a Successful Pruning
Resource
Pruning is a very useful silvicultural treatment both for improving the final quality of a stand and for controlling certain pests. However, pruning causes wounds that the tree must close as quickly...
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...
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 Pathogen Prevalence and the Health of Ungulates in West-central Alberta Caribou Ranges
Project
Contact
This project will gather data on the disease and parasites carried by moose, deer, and elk to determine the risk of transmission to caribou. Land managers need to know the threats faced by caribou in...
