Genetics and Breeding of Black Spruce and Red Spruce

open access: yesThe Forestry Chronicle, 1969
This review emphasizes findings that are of value for early application in tree breeding and silviculture. Black spruce and red spruce are closely related genetically and hybridize where their ranges overlap, particularly in the Maritime Provinces.

Recovery of southern mountain caribou habitat following wildfire in Ulkatcho territory, British Columbia, Canada

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Caribou forage lichens were present in post‐burn lodgepole pine stands multiple decades before stem‐density was likely open enough to attract wintering caribou. We posit that the prolonged self‐thinning of lodgepole pine after fire may be a greater limiting factor than lichen abundance for habitat recovery in lodgepole pine forests.

Phytotoxicity Assessment of Ashes Generated From Household Combustion of Conventional Fuels, Mixed Fuels, and Municipal Waste

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The main aim of the study was to assess the toxicity of ash generated in household furnaces through the combustion of materials most commonly burned in individual households. The toxicity tests were conducted using plant bioassays with cress (Lepidium sativum), mustard (Sinapis) and sorghum (Sorghum) seeds.

Patterns and environmental drivers of root traits across hydrological gradients in old growth boreal forests

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Many key ecosystem functions are affected by plant roots and their traits. However, understanding of the patterns in, and drivers of, root traits lags far behind equivalent knowledge of above‐ground tissues, particularly in boreal old growth forests. We surveyed community‐level root traits across 11 old growth forests spanning a wide latitudinal range ...

Reindeer grazing induces spatial and functional shifts in root systems of boreal pine forests

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The spatial distribution of roots, laterally and vertically, is critical for nutrient and water uptake and for driving root‐associated carbon inputs and turnover. Large herbivores, such as reindeer, influence ecosystems belowground by altering aboveground vegetation composition and soil microclimate.

Technical wildness: Modernity, romanticism, and the technocratic turn in Scottish rewilding

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Technical wildness is a new and increasingly influential culture of nature. This paper marks its emergence in Scotland in the early 2020s. Focusing on Scotland's rapidly evolving land management sector, the paper traces how private rewilding companies position science‐led land management and natural capital markets as the most effective ...

Caring with forests: Human and more‐than‐human care in forest occupations in Germany

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on ongoing ethnographic and participatory action research within forest occupations in Germany, this paper develops the concept of ‘caring with forests’ to theorise the mutual, multidimensional relationships of care that emerge between humans and more‐than‐human beings in environmental protest settings.

Spruce Bark Biorefinery

open access: yes, 2013
Norway spruce Picea abies is a key raw material for the forest industry in the Nordic countries. In order to improve the competitiveness of the forest industry by valorising residues and creating value from new products, we have studied the upgrading of spruce bark into transport fuels and chemicals.
