Atténuation des effets des infestations d’insectes et aménagement durable des forêts
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...
Augmentation anticipée des risques de feu dans l’interface humain-forêt
Resource
With climate change, current research predicts an increase in forest fires in the wildland-human interface or WHI; several inhabited areas will be more at risk in the years to come. Despite this...
Balancing Large-scale Wildlife Protection and Forest Management Goals with a Game-theoretic Approach
Resource
When adopted, wildlife protection policies in Canadian forests typically cover large areas and affect multiple economic agents working in these landscapes. Such measures are likely to increase the...
Balsam Fir-Yellow Birch Forest Succession in the Lower St. Lawrence Region
Resource
In Quebec, the bioclimatic zone of balsam fir-yellow birch covers an area of 94,768 km 2. Some of the forest cover types in the area, such as balsam fir-yellow birch, are among the most productive in...
Baseline Condition of Jack Pine Biomonitoring Plots in the Athabasca Oil Sands Area, 1976-1977
Resource
No measureable air pollutant effect was observed on either vascular or lichen communities at any site even though significantly high tissue pollutant concentrations were documented within 10km of GCOS
Beech Scale
Resource
Beech scale is an introduced insect that damages beech trees; this damage can lead to beech bark disease. The insect was introduced to North America in the late 1800’s and has spread throughout...
Biodiversity Outcomes of Land Management Choices in Alberta’s Agricultural Lands
Resource
This proof of concept assessment helps understand better market opportunities associated with biodiversity management in Alberta’s agricultural lands. Land management can increase biodiversity.
Biomass and Root Stem Production of a Colony-forming Willow (Salix interior) on Highly Disturbed, Low Fertility Sites
Resource
This study describes biomass production, colony formation, and clonal spread via root stems of a wide-ranging North American willow species, Salix interior (INT), one of the few willows that can...
Biomass Estimates for Major Boreal Forest Species in West-Central Canada
Resource
Forest biomass is the second-largest renewable energy resource in Canada, representing a major pool in the global carbon budget, but better estimates of forest biomass are needed. In the 1980s...
Biophysical Determinants of Shifting Tundra Vegetation Productivity in the Beaufort Delta Region of Canada
Resource
Temperature increases across the circumpolar north have driven rapid increases in vegetation productivity, often described as ‘greening’. These changes have been widespread, but spatial variation in...
Biting Flies and Activity of Caribou in the Boreal Forest
Resource
Habitat loss has been implicated in the decline of forest-dwelling caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou), but it is unknown how biting insects, potentially important components of boreal forest habitat...
Black Spruce Seeds Short-Lived on Boreal Forest Seedbeds
Resource
Viability of black spruce ( Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) seeds after dispersal in nature or by man may be a crucial factor affecting regeneration of the species on boreal forest seedbeds. Some...
Blessures et maladies : Les arbres se défendent
Resource
Trees are constantly exposed to a multitude of micro-organisms, but only a few are capable of causing disease. When trees come under attack from micro-organisms, their primary line of defence is a...
Bois brûlés : récupérer en favorisant la régénération
Resource
To make up for timber losses caused by fire, salvage logging of burned timber is an economically attractive option. Improved logging practices could promote the establishment of regeneration while...
Boreal Caribou Can Coexist with Natural but Not Industrial Disturbances
Resource
Abstract: For species at risk, it is important that demographic models be consistent with our most recent knowledge because alternate model versions can have differing predictions for wildlife and...
Boreal Mixedwood Forest Potential for Carbon Uptake and Storage
Resource
The boreal mixedwood forest ecosystem includes both coniferous and deciduous tree species and is a common and widespread ecosystem in the Canadian boreal forest resulting from harvesting, forest fires...
