Temporal variability in area burned for the Province of Ontario, Canada during the past 200 years inferred from tree-rings
Download2006
Tardif, J., Flannigan, M.D., Girardin, M.P.
Area burned variability in the province of Ontario, Canada, was inferred from 25 tree ring width chronologies covering A. D. 1781-1982 and distributed largely across the Boreal Shield. The area burned estimates account for 39.5% of the variance in the actual area burned recorded from 1917 to 1981...

Abstract: Early establishment of white spruce (Picea glauca) in mixedwood boreal forest stands following fire was examined at several times-since-fire (1-, 2-, 4-, 6-, 14-years). Abiotic and biotic conditions in the stands were assessed at two scales, tree plot (5 in x 5 in) and microsite (1 m x...

Cumming, S. G., Bayne, E., Schmiegelow, F. K. A., Fontaine, T., Song, S. J., Lefevre, K.
Abstract: Human development is increasing pressure on North America's mainly intact boreal forest. We outline the need for a comprehensive synthesis of existing data and for effective scientific tools to support conservation of this biome and of the birds that depend on it. To illustrate how...

Landhäusser, S. M., Chow, P. S., MacKenzie, M. D., Pinno, B. D., Quideau, S. A.
Trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) is an important tree species for land reclamation. This study determined trembling aspen germination, establishment, initial growth and response to fertilizer on contrasting oil sands reclamation soils. In a greenhouse, eight soils varying in total nitrogen...
