Microbial Community Structural and Functional Differentiation in Capped Thickened Oil Sands Tailings Planted With Native Boreal Species
Resource
The oil sands mining operations in Alberta have produced billions of m3 of tailings which must be reclaimed and integrated into various mine closure landforms, including terrestrial landforms...
Migration-Based Simulations for Canadian Trees Show Limited Tracking of Suitable Climate under Climate Change
Resource
Species distribution modelling (SDM) has been used to understand how climate affects where tree species currently grow and how those suitable climate conditions could change in the future. These...
Migratory Movements of Caribou in Northern Quebec and Labrador
Project
Project Description:This project aims at identifying the determinants of migratory routes and staging areas used by eastern migratory caribou. It will use GPS location data collected on >100 females...
Minimizing Losses to Armillaria Root Rot in Ontario Spruce
Resource
Armillaria root rot is the most widespread and destructive root disease of trees in Ontario. The main species found within the province is Armillaria ostoyae [Romagnesi| Kerink (Dumas 1988) which...
Minimizing Losses to Tomentosus Root Rot in Ontario
Resource
Tomentosus root rot is one of three major pathogens discussed in greater detail in The Hidden Enemy (Whitney 1988). This technical note presents a practical summary of this and other publications for...
Mitigating the Effects of Insect Outbreaks for Sustainable Forest Management
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...
Model-based, Volume-to-biomass Conversion for Forested and Vegetated Land in Canada
Resource
The demand for forest biomass information has increased substantially in recent years, and, in response, new models have been developed to estimate biomass of forest stands and the more common...
Modeling Climatic Influences on Three Parasitoids of Low-Density Spruce Budworm Populations
Resource
Despite their importance as mortality factors of many insects, the detailed biology and ecology of parasitoids often remain unknown. To gain insights into the spatiotemporal biology of insect...
More than Planting Trees: Career Opportunities in Ecological Restoration
Resource
The main aim of this paper is to help students and early career ecologists identify a variety of careers outside of academia. We provide practical advice, as well as hints and tips on what they will...
Motorized Activity on Legacy Seismic Lines: A Predictive Modeling Approach to Prioritize Restoration Efforts
Resource
Natural regeneration of seismic lines, cleared for hydrocarbon exploration, is slow and often hindered by vegetation damage, soil compaction, and motorized human activity. There is an extensive...
Mounding Site Preparation for Jack Pine and Black Spruce in Boreal Ontario: Five Year Results
Resource
Eleven plantations of each of jack pine ( Pinus banksiana Lamb.) and black spruce ( Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) were established with bareroot stock during a 3-year period beginning in 1980 on sites...
Movement Ecology of Endangered Caribou During a COVID-19 Mediated Pause in Winter Recreation
Resource
Abstract The long-term conservation of species at risk relies on numerous, and often concurrent, management actions to support their recovery. Generally, these actions are habitat-based while others...
Multi-objective Optimization can Balance Trade-offs Among Boreal Caribou, Biodiversity, and Climate Change Objectives when Conservation Hotspots do not Overlap
Resource
The biodiversity and climate change crises have led countries—including Canada—to commit to protect more land and inland waters and to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations. Canada is also obligated...
My Tree (Infographic)
Resource
This infographic is an introduction to My Tree, a free app developed by the Canadian Forest Service (CFS) that can assist you in selecting the right trees to plant for your location. You can download...
Natal Habitat Preference Induction in Large Mammals—Like Mother, Like Child?
Project
Organization:
Project Description:We used complementary approaches to assess natal habitat preference induction in a marked population of woodland caribou. All approaches compared the behavior of calves in their...
