Age and size structure of gap-dynamic, old-growth boreal forest stands in Newfoundland

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 2006
The age and size structure of trees in old Abies-Picea-Betula forests on Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula were examined. It was hypothesized that the size and age structure of both the tree and regeneration “strata” of these stands ...

Tree communities face rising soil water deficits exposure under projected climate change in northern temperate forests

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Soil water deficits in temperate forests are projected to become more frequent, more severe, and longer in duration. This study aims to quantify the current (1981–2010) and projected (2041–2070) exposure of 17 tree communities to soil water deficit (severity and duration) in southwestern Quebec, Canada, using the Canadian Land Surface Scheme ...

More frequent burning increases vulnerability of Alaskan boreal black spruce forests

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2016
Much recent research has investigated the effects of burning on mature black spruce ( Picea mariana ) forests in interior Alaska, however little research has focused on how frequent reburning affects soil organic layer (SOL) vulnerability in these ...

Indirect effects of herbicide use on the Bombus community mediated through changes to shrub and forb communities

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Pesticides are used around the world to control and suppress undesirable species. In many cases the direct effects of pesticides are well understood and characterized, describing how environments are likely to be altered. However, these direct effects are likely to cause other species to respond to ecosystem alteration. For example, herbicides

A Molecular Identification Protocol for Roots of Boreal Forest Tree Species

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, 2014
Premise of the study: Roots play a key role in many ecological processes, yet our ability to identify species from bulk root samples is limited. Molecular tools may be used to identify species from root samples, but they have not yet been developed for ...

Anthropogenic disturbance and trophic interactions mediate population viability of American martens

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
We present a simulation model of the probability of collapse to <10% of carrying capacity for American marten populations over a 50‐year time frame in relation to forest disturbance due to commercial harvesting and fur‐trapping levels. Probability of collapse differed between models that assumed no effect of logging (solid line), martens living in a ...

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.

Lecanicillium aphanocladii: a biocontrol agent against insect pests and phytopathogens

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4089-4103, May 2026.
Recent research findings on the biocontrol potential of Lecanicillium aphanocladii fungus against insect‐pests and plant diseases were highlighted. This review indicates that several L. aphanocladii strains show great potential to be developed as multipurpose biocontrol agents active against several insect‐pests, plant diseases and plant parasitic ...

Notes on the Biology of the Cixiid Planthopper Cixius meridionalis (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea)

open access: yesPsyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2014
With the exception of a handful of economically important species, the biology of cixiid planthoppers (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea: Cixiidae) is poorly known.
