Ecosystem-based management aims to maintain the natural proportion of native species over a given landscape. White spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) is a species sensitive to environmental conditions; it is especially demanding in terms of nutrients ...

Abstract Background Plant allometry theory developed in the last century focused on 2/3‐power scaling, determined by light interception considerations. More recently, 3/4‐power scaling based on the properties of vascular distribution networks has been proposed.

An arboreal lichen index to be utilized in assessing woodland caribou habitat throughout northeastern Ontario was developed. The "index" was comprised of 5 classes, which differentiated arboreal lichen biomass on black spruce trees, ranging from maximal ...

The North Slave Métis Alliance's Indigenous Guardianship Program conducted on‐the‐ground patrols monitoring caribou interactions with the Tibbitt to Contwoyto Winter road and quantify caribou harvest. Quantifying the impacts of winter roads on barren‐ground caribou herds supports community members’ commitment to safeguarding their traditional territory

Snowshoe hare population densities in Pennsylvania were greatest in early‐successional forest and densely‐understoried mature forest. Forest management that increases and maintains the amount of early‐successional forest, or that increases understory complexity in mature forest, would benefit snowshoe hares and may mitigate population declines under ...

Permafrost supports post-fire recovery of black spruce dominance in subarctic boreal forests
Black spruce ( Picea mariana ) dominates the boreal forest of North America, provides important wildlife habitat, and contributes substantially to long-term carbon storage.

Birds among us: Perceptions of bird‐mediated services and disservices in a northern city
Abstract Birds can benefit people or cause harm. Understanding how people perceive birds in cities, where most daily interactions among people and nature occur, could inform decision‐making in support of biodiversity and human well‐being We distributed a survey in a growing mid‐sized city (Lahti, Finland) to evaluate which bird‐mediated ecosystem ...

A NEW ENEMY OF THE BLACK SPRUCE, ABIES NIGRA [PDF]
An enemy of Abies nigra sent to me by Mr. C. S. Sargent, from the Arboretum of Harvard University, induced me to compare the literature about the enemies of this tree. To my surprise, all that is published consists of two very excellent papers by Mr. Ch. H. Peck, Albany.
