Drivers and Impacts of the Record-Breaking 2023 Fire Season
Resource
A video outlining the major drivers and impacts of the record-breaking 2023 wildfire season in Canada. A PDF of the PowerPoint can be found here.
Early Successional Plant Community Dynamics on a Reclaimed Oil Sands Mine in Comparison With Natural Boreal Forest Communities
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Earth Observation for Improved Regulatory Decision Making in Alberta – Workshop Report
Resource
NRCan pilot science projects have proven that Earth Observation can provide relevant and valuable information to inform and enhance monitoring and support regulatory frameworks
Eastern Canadian Temperate Deciduous Forest
Resource
The Canadian National Vegetation Classification (CNVC) is an ecological classification of natural and semi-natural Canadian vegetation. The classification is a hierarchical taxonomy, describing...
Eastern North American Temperate Hardwood – Conifer Forest
Resource
The Canadian National Vegetation Classification (CNVC) is an ecological classification of natural and semi-natural Canadian vegetation. The classification is a hierarchical taxonomy, describing...
Ecohydrology by Thinking Outside the Bog: Shifting Paradigms in an Era of Shifting Peatland Ecosystems
Resource
Large shifts in vegetation distributions are occurring worldwide and at unprecedented rates. The most extreme of these regime shifts are expected to occur at ecosystem boundaries of both semi-arid and...
Ecological Bench-marking and Biomonitoring for Detection of Airborne Pollutant Effects on Vegetation and Soils
Resource
There was only very limited evidence of biological responses to increased pollutant content in spite of significantly higher pollutant levels in tissues close to existing industrial developments.
Ecological Issues Related to Second-growth Boreal Forest Management in Eastern Quebec, Canada: Expert Perspectives from a Delphi Process
Resource
The Eastern boreal forests of Quebec, Canada, have been extensively harvested over the past decades. Second growth stands originating from sites harvested between 1920 and 1950 will soon reach the...
Ecologically-based Criteria to Assess the Impact and Recovery of Seismic Lines: The Importance of Width, Regeneration, and Seismic Density
Resource
We conducted a series of surveys to evaluate wildlife responses to different types of seismic lines in bogs, conifer‐dominated, mixedwood and deciduous forests in the western boreal forest. Research...
Economic Impacts of Short Rotation Woody Crops in Canada
Resource
Canada is seeking cost-effective means to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, particularly CO2. One of the promising means is the short rotation woody crops (SRWC) plantation, a silvicultural approach...
Ecosystem Management in Paludified Boreal Forests: Enhancing Wood Production, Biodiversity, and Carbon Sequestration at the Landscape Level
Resource
Canada’s boreal forest represents an important contributor of the world’s wood supply industry. However, maintaining or increasing productivity of the boreal forest may be challenging in areas...
Edge Effects of Conventional Seismic Lines in Northern Alberta Peatlands
Resource
Research poster presented at the NAIT 7th Seminar on Linear Disturbance Impacts on Boreal Wetland Ecosystems.
Edge Influence of Low-impact Seismic Lines for Oil Exploration on Upland Forest Vegetation in Northern Alberta (Canada).
Resource
Low-impact seismic (LIS) techniques were developed to reduce the environmental footprint of oil exploration. Though relatively narrow (~2–3 m) and constructed with light-weight equipment, these lines...
Effect of Seed Production and Soil Scarification on the Natural Regeneration of a Second-Growth Fir Stand in the Lower St. Lawrence Region
Resource
This study examines the relationship between seed production, soil scarification and seedling establishment in balsam fir ( Abies balsamea [L.] Mill.) and white spruce ( Picea glauca [Moench] Voss)...
Effects of Cell Size and Spacing on Root Density and Field Performance of Container-Reared Black Spruce
Resource
This study examined the effects of nursery rearing in an array of 51 individual fabricated frames that supported a range of six growing cell sizes at 11 plant spacings in all possible combinations. A...
Effects of Disturbance on Understory Succession in Upland and Lowland Boreal Forests and Implications for Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)
Resource
Boreal forest development is influenced by both natural and anthropogenic disturbances that alter stand structure and nutrient cycling over decadal timescales. The effects of disturbance on boreal...
Effects of Harvesting Methods on Soil Properties and Forest Productivity in Interior British Columbia
Resource
Seven treatment units in three different clearcut blocks in the Golden Forest District were studied to assess overall soil disturbance levels resulting from ground-based harvesting using two methods...
Effects of Land Use on the Structure and Function of Leaf-litter Microbial Communities in Boreal Streams
Resource
Microbial communities associated with leaf litter in streams provide key ecosystem services through the cycling of energy and nutrients that can be influenced by environmental factors. We examined the...
Effects of Mechanical Site Preparation on Microsite Availability and Growth of Planted Black Spruce in Canadian Paludified Forests
Resource
Low productivity caused by paludification in some parts of the closed black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P) dominated boreal forest threatens the provision of ecosystem services, including wood...
