Facilitation of Balsam Fir by Trembling Aspen in the Boreal Forest: Do Ectomycorrhizal Communities Matter?

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Succession is generally well described above-ground in the boreal forest, and several studies have demonstrated the role of interspecific facilitation in tree species establishment.

White spruce enrichment planting in boreal mixedwoods as influenced by localized site preparation: 11-year update

open access: yesThe Forestry Chronicle, 2020
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 ...

Simultaneous 3/4‐power scaling of leaf mass and 2/3‐power scaling of leaf area with stem mass in plants

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
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.

Estimation of arboreal lichen biomass available to woodland caribou in Hudson Bay lowland black spruce sites

open access: yesRangifer, 2003
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 ...

Quantifying harvest of barren‐ground caribou off a winter road in the Northwest Territories – An Indigenous Guardian‐led initiative

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
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

Identifying forest features that increase resiliency of southern‐boundary snowshoe hare populations in Pennsylvania

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesEnvironmental Research: Ecology
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

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
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 ...

Foraging substrate use of American Three-toed Woodpeckers ( Picoides dorsalis ) in white spruce-dominated forests of the Black Hills of South Dakota

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology
Isolated, sedentary species with low population densities are at increased risk of population declines because of habitat disturbances relative to common, widely distributed species.

A NEW ENEMY OF THE BLACK SPRUCE, ABIES NIGRA [PDF]

open access: yesThe Canadian Entomologist, 1880
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.
