Nielsen, S. E., Haney, A., Kirschbaum, C.D.
We investigated vegetation responses in terms of canopy, ground-layer diversity, and ecological species groups using two restoration treatments at two degraded oak barren and savanna sites in central Wisconsin, USA. The two restoration models tested were (1) process-only, which reintroduced fire...

Role of adventitious roots in water relations of tamarack (Larix laricina) seedlings exposed to flooding
Download2012
Calvo-Polanco, M., Senorans, J., Zwiazek, J.J.
Background: Flooding reduces supply of oxygen to the roots affecting plant water uptake. Some flooding-tolerant tree species including tamarack (Larix laricina (Du Roi) K. Koch) produce adventitious roots in response to flooding. These roots were reported to have higher hydraulic conductivity...

Salvage logging, edge effects and carabid beetles: connections to conservation and sustainable forest management
Download2006
Cobb, T.P., Brigham, R.M., Philips, I.D., Spence, J.R.
We used pitfall traps to study the effects of fire and salvage logging on distribution of carabid beetles over a forest disturbance gradient ranging from salvaged (naturally burned and subsequently harvested) to unsalvaged (naturally burned and left standing). Significantly more carabids were...

Langor, D. W., Cobb, T.P., Spence, J.R., Jacobs, J. M., Hammond, H.E.J.
Saproxylic insect assemblages inhabiting dead wood in Canadian forests are highly diverse and variable but quite poorly understood. Adequate assessment of these assemblages poses significant challenges with respect to sampling, taxonomy, and analysis. Their assessment is nonetheless critical to...

Flannigan, M.D., Krawchuk, M.A., Bowman, L.M., Moritz, M.A., Parisien, M.A., Parks, S.A.
In the boreal forest of North America, as in any fire-prone biome, three environmental factors must coincide for a wildfire to occur: an ignition source, flammable vegetation, and weather that is conducive to fire. Despite recent advances, the relative importance of these factors remains the...

Abstract: Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is the mass spectrometry of atomic species which are emitted when a solid surface is bombarded by an energetic primary ion beam. By continually bombarding the surface of the sample with the ion beam, the atoms making up the material being studied...

Landhausser, S. M., Lieffers, V. J., Teste, F. P.
Abstract: There are concerns that large-scale stand mortality due to mountain pine beetle (MPB) could greatly reduce natural regeneration of serotinous Rocky Mountain (RM) lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) because the closed cones are held in place without the fire cue for cone...

Short-term plant community responses to warming and defoliation in a northern temperate grassland
Download2011
Cahill, Jr. J. F., Bork, E. W., Chang, S. X., Deutsch, E. S.
Abstract: Little is known about the short-term impacts of warming on native plant community dynamics in the northern Canadian prairies. This study examined the immediate effects of elevated temperature and defoliation on plant community diversity, composition, and biomass within a native rough...
