Extending Estimates of Tree and Tree Species Presence-Absence through Space and Time Using Landsat Composites

Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing, 2020
We developed a methodology for extending estimates of the presence-absence of trees and several tree species contained in the Canadian National Forest Inventory using nationally consistent Landsat data products.

Potential Species Distribution of Balsam Fir Based on the Integration of Biophysical Variables Derived with Remote Sensing and Process-Based Methods

Remote Sensing, 2009
In this paper we present a framework for modelling potential species distribution (PSD) of balsam fir [bF; Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.] as a function of landscape-level descriptions of: (i) growing degree days (GDD: a temperature related index), (ii) land ...

Acidic Deposition and Climate Warming as Drivers of Tree Growth in High-Elevation Spruce-Fir Forests of the Northeastern US

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2019
Acid rain in eastern North America contributed to the widespread decline of red spruce in high-elevation spruce-fir forests. With recent reductions in acid deposition and a warming climate, resurgence of red spruce growth has been reported in some ...

Phenotypic, ITS phylogenetic and pathogenic analyses of Pyllosticta Multicorniculata associated with needle blight symptoms of balsam fir in Canada [PDF]

Glasnik Šumarskog Fakulteta: Univerzitet u Beogradu, 2006
Phyllosticta multicorniculata Bissett & Palm causes needle blight on Abies balsamea (L) Mill. in eastern Canada. The disease symptoms are similar to those provoked by Phyllosticta abietis Bissett & Palm on Abies grandis Lindl.

Relative contributions of site conditions and interspecific competition to post-harvest regeneration in boreal mixedwoods

The Forestry Chronicle
In Canadian boreal forests, clearcutting has traditionally been the main harvest treatment, resulting in relatively uniform, even-aged stand structures.

Spatially explicit climate change projections for the recovery planning of threatened species: The Bicknell's Thrush (Catharus Bicknelli) as a case study

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019
With climate change, natural resource managers are faced with the challenging task of planning the conservation of habitat for threatened species. Classified as ''threatened'' under the Species at Risk Act in Canada, the Bicknell's Thrush (Catharus ...

Contribution of topographic features and categorization uncertainty for a tree species classification in the boreal biome of Northern Ontario

GIScience & Remote Sensing, 2023
Variations within local topography can effectively impact the location of tree species within naturally forested areas. Furthermore, the uncertainty of prediction for classification can vastly differ amongst topography and the overlying tree species ...

Quantifying microhabitat selection of snowshoe hares using forest metrics from UAS‐based LiDAR

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Identifying the spatial and temporal scale at which animals select resources is critical for predicting how populations respond to changes in the environment. The spatial distribution of fine‐scale resources (e.g. patches of dense vegetation) are often linked with critical life‐history requirements such as denning and feeding sites.

Balsam Fir and American Beech Influence Soil Respiration Rates in Opposite Directions in a Sugar Maple Forest Near Its Northern Range Limit

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
Conifers and deciduous trees greatly differ in regard to their phylogenetics and physiology as well as their influence on soil microclimate and chemical properties.

Soil and microbial responses to wild ungulate trampling depend more on ecosystem type than trampling severity

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physical trampling is a ubiquitous activity of walking vertebrates, but is poorly understood as a mechanism impacting biogeochemical cycling in soil. Lack of detailed knowledge of soil abiotic–biotic interactions underlying trampling effects, and the primary sources of ...
