Todd, J.B., Bosch, E.M., Logan, K.A., Mason, J.A., Skinner, W.R., Hirsch, K.G., Martell, D.L., Wotton, B.M., Flannigan, M.D., Stocks, B.J., Amiro, B.D.
A Large Fire Database (LFDB), which includes information on fire location, start date, final size, cause, and suppression action, has been developed for all fires larger than 200 ha in area for Canada for the 1959-1997 period. The LFDB represents only 3.1% of the total number of Canadian fires...

Managing the cumulative impacts of land uses in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin: A modeling approach.
Download2003
Wasel, S., Schneider, R., Boutin, S., Stelfox, J.
This case study from northeastern Alberta, Canada, demonstrates a fundamentally different approach to forest management in which stakeholders balance conservation and economic objectives by weighing current management options from the point of view of their long-term effects on the forest....

Modeling the carbon balance of Amazonian rain forests: resolving ecological controls on net ecosystem productivity
Download2009
de Oliveira, R. C., Munger, J. W., Wofsy, S. C., Hutra, L. R., Grant, R. F., Saleska, S. R.
Abstract: There is still much uncertainty about ecological controls on the rate and direction of net CO(2) exchange by tropical rain forests, in spite of their importance to global C cycling. These controls are thought to arise from hydrologic and nutrient constraints to CO(2) fixation caused by...

Modeling the effects of hydrology on gross primary productivity and net ecosystem productivity at Mer Bleue bog
Download2011
Humphreys, E., Dimitrov, D. D., Grant, R. F., LaFleur, P. M.
Abstract: The ecosys model was applied to investigate the effects of water table and subsurface hydrology changes on carbon dioxide exchange at the ombrotrophic Mer Bleue peatland, Ontario, Canada. It was hypothesized that (1) water table drawdown would not affect vascular canopy water potential,...

Modelling water table depth effects on net ecosystem CO2 exchange of two contrasting forested peatlands – a tropical bog and a boreal fen
DownloadFall 2015
Peatlands have been accumulating carbon (C) in wet soils under shallow water table (WT) over millennia. Increased frequency and intensity of droughts and artificial drainage for promoting agriculture have recently been causing peatland WT depth (WTD) drawdown. This could alter peatland C balance...

Moth Diversity in a Fragmented Habitat: Importance of Functional Groups and Landscape Scale in the Boreal Forest
Download2006
Abstract: One of the leading concerns for both conservation biology and forestry has been bow forest fragmentation affects biodiversity, and how forestry practices can be altered to mitigate diversity losses. However, the effects of habitat fragmentation on ecological functional groups within...

Movement Patterns of Adult Male Ovenbirds during the Post-Fledging Period in Fragmented and Forested Boreal Landscapes
Download2001
Bayne, Erin M., Hobson, Keith A.
Movement of forest songbirds among isolated forest patches following breeding represents an important but poorly understood component of landscape ecology and metapopulation theory. Using radio-telemetry, we followed 44 male Ovenbirds (Seiurus aurocapillus) during the post-fledging period to...
