A new snow module improves predictions of the isotope-enabled MAIDENiso forest growth model [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2022 The representation of snow processes in forest growth models is necessary to accurately predict the hydrological cycle in boreal ecosystems and the isotopic signature of soil water extracted by trees, photosynthates and tree-ring cellulose.

Assembly and Annotation of Red Spruce (Picea rubens) Chloroplast Genome, Identification of Simple Sequence Repeats, and Phylogenetic Analysis in Picea [PDF]
, 2022 We have sequenced the chloroplast genome of red spruce (Picea rubens) for the first time using the single-end, short-reads (44 bp) Illumina sequences, assembled and functionally annotated it, and identified simple sequence repeats (SSRs).

Classification and ecology of the mid‐seral Picea mariana forests of British Columbia
Applied Vegetation Science, 2002 Abstract. We sampled vegetation and soils of, and classified mid‐seral, even‐aged, fire‐origin, upland Picea mariana ecosystems in the Boreal White & Black Spruce and Sub‐boreal Spruce zones of British Columbia, Canada. We applied multi‐variate and tabular methods to analyse and synthesize the data from 121 plots according to the methods of ...
