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...
Avian Colonization of Reclaimed Areas on the Suncor Lease
Resource
Reclamation activities on the Suncor lease have resulted in the development of a variety of habitat types over the past nineteen years. Many reclamation areas assume a patchy habitat type which...
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...
Behavioral “bycatch” from Camera Trap Surveys Yields Insights on Prey Responses to Human-mediated Predation Risk
Resource
This study used camera trap data to test predictions about predator-sensitive behavior in three ungulate species (caribou Rangifer tarandus; white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus; moose, Alces...

Resource
This is a compilation of on-line accessible papers from the 1982, 1985, 1986, 1988 and 1989 conferences of the Alberta Chapter, Canadian Land Reclamation Association. This list will be updated...
Bibliography of On-line Accessible CLRA National Conference Papers
Resource
This is a compilation of on-line accessible papers from the 1977, 1992, 2010, 2013 and 2019 national conferences of the Canadian Land Reclamation Association. Some of the conferences were held jointly...
Biochar Application for Revegetation Purposes in Northern Saskatchewan
Resource
Our research was focused on biochar application for revegetation purposes under northern Saskatchewan conditions. The Gunnar Mine Site, located on the northern shore of the Athabasca Lake, was used as...
Bioengineering Techniques for Revegetation of Riparian Areas at the Colomac Mine, NWT
Resource
Factors such as nutrient poor soils, harsh climate, remote locations, and high costs make revegetating disturbed areas in northern environments a challenge. We present a case study where novel...
Bioengineering. The Use of Plant Biomass to Stabilize and Reclaim Highly Disturbed Sites
Resource
The bioengineering concept of reclamation developed in Europe is now becoming well established internationally with successful projects in Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Rhodesia, South Africa, Venezuela...
Biological Soil Crusts and Native Species for Northern Mine Site Restoration
Resource
The nitrogen cycle is highly sensitive to pollutants and restoration of this biogeochemical pathway is essential to ensure long-term sustainable ecosystems. In a greenhouse trial, the growth and...
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...
