Are Point Counts of Boreal Songbirds Reliable Proxies for More Intensive Abundance Estimators?
Download2006
Villard, M.-A., Schmiegelow, F.K.A., Hannon, S.J., Toms, J.D.
Point counts are often used to provide information on abundance of songbirds. If data from point counts are to be compared in space or time, however, any bias in the estimate should be consistent and linearly related to the true abundance. Several studies have suggested that this assumption may...

Assessing operational silviculture and modeling juvenile growth in Saskatchewan white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) plantations
DownloadFall 2015
White spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) plantations are often established with mechanical site preparation and tending. These silvicultural treatments encourage plantation survival and can influence growth, composition, and yield. To assess operational silviculture and model managed stand...

Assessment of current and future needs for entomological extension in agriculture in Alberta
DownloadSpring 2024
Recent changes to the structure of agricultural extension in Alberta have raised concerns about the effectiveness and efficiency of the system. There is a need to evaluate the effectiveness of the current agricultural extension system to identify opportunities for growth and collaboration....

Boreal trees can grow on saline sites – implications for reclamation success on saline soils
Download2015-03-04
Soils from oil sands mining can be affected by salts leached from tailings or overburden materials – resulting in saline soil conditions. As a result, re-establishment of forests on saline sites is an important goal on reclaimed oil sands mines. Forest vegetation is typically thought to be...

Breeding Bird Communities in Boreal Forest of Western Canada: Consequences of "Unmixing" the Mixedwoods
Download2000
Silvicultural practices following clearcutting in boreal forest may encourage the creation of monospecific, single-aged stands having less vegetation heterogeneity and diversity than original stands. We conducted point counts in central Saskatchewan, Canada, 1993–1995, in pure and mixedwood...

NFRF-Exploration grant awarded 2020: Sustainability of the beef industry and sustainability of temperate grasslands are equally challenging currently. Beef cattle don’t typically graze on tidy fields of managed pasture, but instead graze complex landscapes with highly diverse vegetation and plant...
