Resource Availability and Physiological Response of Black Spruce to Scarification in Two Climatic Regions of Québec (Canada)
Resource
Scarification is a mechanical site preparation technique designed to create microsites that will favor the growth of planted tree seedlings after clearcutting. However, the positive growth response of...
Response of Ground and Rove Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae, Staphylinidae) to Operational Oil Sands Mine Reclamation in Northeastern Alberta, a Case Study
Resource
Species loss caused by anthropogenic disturbance threatens forest ecosystems globally. Until 50 years ago, the major sources of boreal forest disturbance in western Canada were a combination of forest...
Restauration des sites. Étape 1 : à la recherche du passé
Resource
Because natural resources development causes landscape disturbance, post-development site restoration requires an in-depth knowledge of previous conditions. What did the landscape look like before...

The prompt introduction and establishment of peatland donor species through moss layer transfer technique was crucial to the overall re-establishment of peatland vegetation.
Restoration of Linear Disturbances From Oil-and-gas Exploration in Boreal Landscapes: How can Network Models Help?
Resource
Abstract In western Canada, decades of oil-and-gas exploration have fragmented boreal landscapes with a dense network of linear forest disturbances (seismic lines). These seismic lines are implicated...
Restoring Drained Peatlands: A Necessary Step to Achieve Global Climate Goals
Resource
Peatlands cover about 400 million hectares (ha), or 3% of the land surface of our planet. Yet they store more carbon, more effectively and for longer periods, than any other ecosystem on land. Intact...
