Frequently Asked Questions about the Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forest Sector (CBM-CFS3)
Resource
The Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forest Sector (CBM-CFS3) was developed by Natural Resources Canada’s Canadian Forest Service (CFS) to meet the operational-scale, forest carbon accounting needs...
Frost and Oher Climate-related Damage of Forest Trees in the Prairie Provinces
Resource
Frost and other climate-related damage of forest trees in the Canadian prairie provinces are described in terms of their cause and damage, symptoms and diagnosis, and prevention and control. Types of...
Generic Carbon Budget Model Spatial Inventory Rollback Tool
Resource
This report describes a general-purpose spatial inventory rollback tool that can be applied to any GCBM project to adjust the inventory age, spatial disturbances, regeneration delays and historical...
Genetic Control and Evolutionary Potential of a Constitutive Resistance Mechanism Against the Spruce Budworm (Choristoneura Fumiferana) in White Spruce (Picea Glauca)
Resource
The spruce budworm (SBW) is a forest insect pest that causes damage to boreal trees in North America. Resistance against SBW in white spruce had previously been linked to the content of specific...
Genetic Diversity in Commercial Tree Species: White Spruce
Resource
An estimate of genetic diversity and its distribution in tree species is essential for implementing effective genetic resource conservation strategies and supporting the sustainability of forests. The...
Genomics for Future Forests
Resource
This is a report on a symposium that took place 2-3 September 2004. It comprises welcoming addresses from the Assistant Deputy Minister of the Canadian Forest Service and the President of Genome...
Germination and Early Growth of Boreal Understory Plants on 3 Reclamation Soil Types Under Simulated Drought Conditions
Resource
Reclaiming forest land after industrial activity such as oil and gas extraction requires re-establishing self-sustaining ecosystems consisting of native plant species. This greenhouse study was...
Global Change Risks a Threatened Species due to Alteration of Predator–prey Dynamics
Resource
Although global change can reshape ecosystems by triggering cascading effects on food webs, indirect interactions remain largely overlooked. Climate- and land-use-induced changes in landscape cause...
Global Fading of the Temperature-Growth Coupling at Alpine and Polar Treelines
Resource
Climate warming is expected to positively alter upward and poleward treelines which are controlled by low temperature and a short growing season. Despite the importance of treelines as a bioassay of...
Going With the Flow: Intraspecific Variation May Act as a Natural Ally to Counterbalance the Impacts of Global Change for the Riparian Species Populus Deltoides
Resource
The speed and magnitude of global change will have major impacts on riparian ecosystems, thereby leading to greater forest vulnerability. Assessing species’ adaptive capacities to provide relevant...
“Good Disturbances” May Help Achieve Reclamation Goals
Resource
Minimal disturbance is an approach to oil and gas development that aims to preserve the attributes of the original site as much as possible during development. Minimal disturbance practices include...
Governance as a Driver of Change in the Canadian Boreal Zone
Resource
The Canadian boreal forest is primarily public land, owned and managed by provincial governments on behalf of the public interest. Boreal forest governance consists of a complex patchwork of federal...
Government of Canada: Land Use Planning Tools for Local Adaptation to Climate Change
Resource
Land use planning is one of the most effective processes to facilitate local adaptation to climate change.
Greening Canada: A Guide to Community Tree Planting
Resource
This manual should be used as a tool to turn enthusiasm for tree planting into hands-on action, helping communities enhance their environment. Ideas for community and individual tree planting...
Grey Wolves (Canis lupus) Shift Selection of Anthropogenic Landscape Features Following Predator Control in the Nearctic Boreal Forest
Resource
Conserving endangered species sometimes involves killing their predators. In the case of Nearctic wolves (Canis lupus), rarely are lethal control measures examined for ancillary effects on predator...
Ground-Based Wet Weather Yarding Operations in Coastal British Columbia: Effects on Soil Properties and Seedling Growth
Resource
A wet weather ground-based yarding operation was studied to determine the impacts of skidders equipped with low ground pressure and conventional tires on soil physical and chemical properties and...
Grow a Green Future: A Guide for Successful Tree Planting
Resource
Canada is blessed with abundant forests. From the coast of British Columbia to the island of Newfoundland, Canada is home to 347 million hectares of forest. The 2 Billion Trees Program (2BT) is part...
