The forest sector can help reduce atmospheric CO2 through carbon (C) sequestration and
storage and wood substitution of more polluting materials. However, climate change can …

Variable retention harvest is an increasingly popular management alternative to clear‐
cutting in boreal forest ecosystems. This harvest system retains a portion of the mature trees …

Multi-cohort-based forest management has been proposed as a strategy to conciliate wood
supply and biodiversity conservation objectives. At the stand-level, the approach involves …

Boreal mixedwood management has shifted from a relatively narrow focus on commercial
wood supply to greater consideration of the natural dynamics and multiple ecological …

Silvicultural systems based on partial harvesting (PH) have become increasingly common in
areas historically dominated by clearcut-based systems in response to ecological and social …

Long-term sustainability of forest resources is in question given wide-spread use of
conventional clear-cut silviculture. In response, variable retention (VR) harvest has been …

Forest tent caterpillar (Malacosoma disstria Hbn.) is a major forest defoliator in North
American boreal forests. This pest periodically affects hardwood trees such as trembling …

Stratified mixtures of pioneer hardwoods sheltering shade-tolerant conifers are commonly
encountered in the southern boreal forest. We used two-step shelterwood cutting to release …

Understory protection harvesting is a form of partial cutting that can be used in aspen
(Populus tremuloides Michx.)-dominated stands that have understories of white spruce …

In large areas of the boreal mixedwoods of eastern Canada, conventional forestry practices
dominated by large-scale clearcutting have led to an increase in early-successional …
