Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 We evaluated how climate change and variable rates of moose browsing intensity, as they relate to wolf predation, might affect the forests of Isle Royale National Park, Michigan, United States by conducting a modeling experiment. The experiment consisted

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022 Increasing frequencies of severe heat waves and drought are expected to influence the composition and functioning of ecosystems globally. Our ability to predict and mitigate these impacts depends on our understanding of species- and age-specific ...

Insects, 2012 Field trials and assessments of the balsam fir sawfly (Neodiprion abietis) nucleopolyhedrovirus (NeabNPV: Baculoviridae, Gammabaculovirus) against its natural host were conducted in July and August 2002 near Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador ...

The Forestry Chronicle, 2021 Moose (Alces alces L.) browsing in Gros Morne National Park has damaged its balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.)-dominated forest. A forest estate model was used to evaluate (i) the impacts of moose browsing and woodcutting on forest succession and (ii)

Plants, 2023 Currently, one of the most serious global problems is the increasing incidence of infectious diseases. This is closely related to the increase in antibiotic use, which has resulted in the development of multidrug resistance in microorganisms.

The Forestry Chronicle, 2017 We used precommercial thinning (PCT) to accelerate natural succession in an 8-year-old, even-aged stratified mixture, in which trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) overtopped a dense understory of balsam fir (Abies balsamea) and spruce (Picea mariana, P.

Protistan Predators Outshine Fungi in Forest Soil Activity. [PDF]
J Eukaryot MicrobiolABSTRACT Despite extensive research on fungal communities in forest soils, our understanding of the whole eukaryotic diversity and distribution remains limited. Moreover, traditional amplicon sequencing methods often introduce severe PCR and primer biases, further hindering accurate assessment of the microbial community composition in forest soils.

The effects of throughfall exclusion on xylogenesis of balsam fir [PDF]
Tree Physiology, 2013 A 20-40% reduction in soil moisture is projected for the boreal forest of Eastern Canada for the period 2070-99 relative to 1971-2000. In order to better predict the effects of a reduced water supply on the growth of balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.), a dominant tree species of the boreal forest, we simulated 2 consecutive years of summer droughts

Driving factors of conifer regeneration dynamics in eastern Canadian boreal old-growth forests.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Old-growth forests play a major role in conserving biodiversity, protecting water resources, and sequestrating carbon, as well as serving as indispensable resources for indigenous societies.

Pathology of a Gammabaculovirus in Its Natural Balsam Fir Sawfly (Neodiprion abietis) Host
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2012 The Neodiprion abietis Gammabaculovirus (Baculoviridae: NeabNPV) is virulent, highly contagious, and infects only midgut epithelial cells of balsam fir sawfly larvae, but infections can carry through to adult sawflies in the midgut. Larval infections are
