Rate of Deterioration, Degrade and Fall of Trees Killed by Mountain Pine Beetle: A Synthesis of the Literature and Experiential Knowledge
Resource
This report is the first stage of a larger study to determine how factors that determine wood quality and quantity change with time-since-death, including the rate of tree fall. The type of wood...
Real World Tree Breeding: Growth and Yield Projections are Met or Exceeded in Douglas Fir
Resource
This fibre fact provides a validation of tree breeding under 'real world' conditions in confirming stand volume projections from growth and yield models.
Realizing the Full Growth Potential of a Forest: TreeCG, a Forest Compensatory Growth Model. Fibre Facts 28
Resource
This fibre fact provides an overview of what forest compensatory growth is and how the TreeCG model can be used to detect and plan for compensatory growth within a forest stand.
Rearing, Identification, and Biology of Parasitoids and Predators Associated with Pissodes Weevils in Canada
Resource
Methods for collecting and rearing parasitoids of larvae and pupae of Pissodes species are discussed. Illustrated keys are provided for the identification of 31 species of Diptera and Hymenoptera...
Recent Climate Change has Driven Divergent Hydrological Shifts in High-latitude Peatlands
Resource
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century using testate amoeba...
Reclamation and Woody Biomass Production on Disturbed Sites with Willow (Salix interior)
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...
Reclamation Prescriptions—Does One Size Fit All?
Resource
This note explores lesson from EMEND that can inform reclamation approaches that embrace variation, as opposed to a one-size-fits-all approach.
Recommended Procedures for Rooting Ground Hemlock (Taxus Canadensis) Cuttings
Resource
Methods for greenhouse propagation of rooted cuttings of Canada yew ( Taxus canadensis) are described. Specific details on the collection and handling of cuttings, greenhouse culture, and post-rooting...
Reducing Stem Rot in Living Black Spruce in Ontario
Resource
This technical note provides forest managers with some knowledge of the characteristics of stem rot in black spruce and how its occurrence is related to various factors.
Regeneration Behaviour of Competing Plants After Clear-Cutting
Resource
Secondary succession, which follows forest harvesting, begins with the growth of herbs, shrubs, and trees and eventually leads to a mature forest. However, young, commercially important trees are...
Regeneration Techniques for Restoring Forest Cover on Oil and Gas Sites
Resource
The guidebook explains forest regeneration techniques. The Natural Resources Canada Canadian Forest Service (NRCan-CFS) developed this guidebook to help with the successful restoration of disturbed in...
Regeneration Techniques for Restoring Forest Cover on Oil and Gas Sites
Resource
This guidebook explains forest regeneration techniques. The Natural Resources Canada Canadian Forest Service (NRCan-CFS) developed this guidebook to help with the successful restoration of disturbed...
Regression Models Describe and Predict Benefits of Vegetation Management for Black Spruce
Resource
To better quantify the long-term growth response of black spruce to weed control, individual outplants were sampled up to 11 years after planting as part of a vegetation management and stock...
Remote Sensing in Forestry: Current Challenges, Considerations and Directions
Resource
Remote sensing has developed into an omnipresent technology in the scientific field of forestry and is also increasingly used in an operational fashion. However, the pace and level of uptake of remote...
Remote Sensing of Natural Disturbance Caused by Insect Defoliation and Dieback
Resource
The objective of this report is to review the requirements for disturbance information, the manifestation of damage patterns that may be encountered, and to provide an overview of remote sensing...
Resource Availability and Physiological Response of Black Spruce to Scarification in Two Climatic Regions of Québec (Canada)
Resource
Scarification is a mechanical site preparation technique designed to create microsites that will favor the growth of planted tree seedlings after clearcutting. However, the positive growth response of...
Response of Ground and Rove Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae, Staphylinidae) to Operational Oil Sands Mine Reclamation in Northeastern Alberta, a Case Study
Resource
Species loss caused by anthropogenic disturbance threatens forest ecosystems globally. Until 50 years ago, the major sources of boreal forest disturbance in western Canada were a combination of forest...
Restoration and Reclamation of Boreal Ecosystems: Attaining Sustainable Development
Resource
This book is composed of chapters that reveal our current state of knowledge on reclamation and restoration of these boreal ecosystems. The boreal forest, or taiga, is a mosaic of lakes, peatlands...
