Climate Change and Canada's Forests: From Impacts to Adaptation
Resource
Climate change is already affecting Canada’s forests. Current visible effects include changes in the frequency and severity of disturbances (such as fires, drought, severe storms, and damaging insect...
Climate Change and the Bioeconomy: Finding Silviculture Solutions for 21st Century Forests
Resource
This fibre fact provides an overview of how salvage logging can provide an opportuntiy for the forest industry to supply Canada's bioeconomy with wood fibre as well as regenerate a forest.
Climate Change: Response of Black Spruce
Resource
Climate change is an undeniable reality, and the boreal forest's response to accelerated global warming will surely have a major impact on forest ecosystems. The effect that higher concentrations of...
Climate Change Vulnerability of Alberta Species
Resource
Vulnerability to climate change of more than 170 of Alberta’s native species is assessed on the basis of exposure and sensitivity to change
Climate Change Vulnerability of Alberta’s Terrestrial Biodiversity: A Preliminary Assessment
Resource
This report provides a broad overview of how Alberta species are likely to be affected by climate change by the 2050s. Amphibians were consistently found to be the most vulnerable to climate change
Climate Change Will Affect the Ability of Forest Management to Reduce Gaps Between Current and Presettlement Forest Composition in Southeastern Canada
Resource
Context Forest landscapes at the boreal–temperate ecotone have been extensively altered. Reducing the gap between current and presettlement forest conditions through ecosystem-based forest management...
Climate-informed Forecasts Reveal Dramatic Local Habitat Shifts and Population Uncertainty for Northern Boreal Caribou
Resource
Most research on boreal populations of Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) has been conducted in areas of high anthropogenic disturbance. However, a large portion of the species’ range...
Clonal Variation in Coppiced and Uncoppiced Growth, Root-Sprout Stem Formation, and Biomass Partitioning in Salix interior on Two Highly Disturbed Site Types
Resource
Salix interior Rowlee (INT) is a wide-ranging North American willow from the small taxonomic group Salix section Longifoliae, notable for its ability to form multi-stemmed vegetative stem colonies...
Cluster Planting: Early Enhancement of Structural Diversity in a Reclaimed Boreal Forest
Resource
Planting trees is an important step in re-establishing functioning forest ecosystems after industrial land disturbances. Conventional planting practices create forests with evenly spaced trees, at low...
Cluster Planting: Early Enhancement of Structural Diversity in a Reclaimed Boreal Forest
Resource
Abstract: Planting trees is an important step in re-establishing functioning forest ecosystems after industrial land disturbances. Conventional planting practices create forests with evenly spaced...
Cold-Season Freeze Frequency is a Pervasive Driver of Subcontinental Forest Growth
Resource
The reduction of freeze exposure with winter warming has consequences for carbon sequestration by northern forests. Quantifying the impact of these changes on tree growth is, however, challenging...
Collaborative Landscape Data to Support Woodland Caribou Recovery Planning in Northwestern Alberta
Resource
We collected high-resolution aerial imagery and associated ground-truthed data from four sampling blocks in two caribou ranges to assess human footprint accuracy and state of vegetation recovery.
