Interim report on symptomology and threshold levels of air pollutant injury to vegetation, 1978-79
Download1979
Malhotra, S. S., Addison, P. A.
The dominant woody boreal forest plant species were fumigated with 0.34 ppm SO2 under controlled conditions in the laboratory in order to rank their physiological and visual sensitivities to the air pollutant. Deciduous trees and shrubs were much more sensitive than conifers, presumably because...

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...

Limited impacts of extensive human land use on dominance, specialization, and biotic homogenization in boreal plant communities
Download2015-01-01
Mayor, S. J., Boutin, S., He, F., Cahill, J. F.
Background Niche theory predicts that human disturbance should influence the assembly of communities, favouring functionally homogeneous communities dominated by few but widespread generalists. The decline and loss of specialists leaves communities with species that are functionally more similar....

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....

Climate change will continue to affect the Arctic more intensely than other biomes. These changes can have dramatic effects on biotic interactions that influence the functioning of these systems, including plant-herbivore interactions. Invertebrate herbivores strongly depend on external...

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...
