Assessing the Climate Suitability and Potential Economic Impacts of Oak Wilt in Canada
Resource
Oak wilt is a disease that kills oak trees and is caused by a fungus named Bretziella fagacearum. Though not currently found in Canada, our distribution models indicate that suitable climate...
Assessing the Impact of Fine-Scale Structure on Predicting Wood Fibre Attributes of Boreal Conifer Trees and Forest Plots
Resource
Information about wood fibre attributes (WFA) is important for optimizing forest resource management and increasing the competitiveness of the sector. Many factors influence WFA at both the plot (e.g...
Assessing the Influence of Climate on the Growth Rate of Boreal Tree Species in Northeastern Canada Through Long Term Permanent Sample Plot Datasets
Resource
Climate has a considerable influence on tree growth. Forest managers benefit from the empirical study of the historic relationship between climatic variables and tree growth to support forest...
Assessing the Long-term Economic Interactions between Industrial Forestry Activities, Non-renewable Resource Extraction and Caribou Recovery
Resource
There is an existing gap in knowledge on the economic impacts of caribou recovery measures on forestry activities and non-renewable resource extraction. To address this knowledge gap, this project...
Assessing the Long-term Ecosystem Productivity Benefits and Potential Impacts of Forests Re-established on a Mine Tailings Site
Resource
It can be really hard to get plants and trees to grow on former mine sites, especially if the soil is contaminated by the mining waste material, which is called tailings. In an area of mine tailings...
Assessment of Potential for Remote Sensing Detection of Bark Beetle-Infested Areas During Green Attack: A Literature Review
Resource
Changes observed in the foliage of trees killed by bark beetles are usually described in terms of stages that have been related to a specific timeframe. The “green attack” stage is the period of time...
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...
Best Management Practices for Mineral Exploration and Development Activities and Woodland Caribou in Ontario
Resource
These Best Management Practices ( BMPs) are meant to be used by mineral exploration and development proponents who are planning or conducting early exploration, advanced exploration, mine production...
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...
