Much of Canada's terrestrial biodiversity is supported by boreal forests. Natural resource
development in boreal forests poses risks to this biodiversity. This paper reviews the …

Les forêts mixtes boréales (BMWs) sont les écosystèmes forestiers les plus productifs et les
plus diversifiés des forêts boréales nord-américaines. Une bonne compréhension de la …

The discipline of silviculture is at a crossroads. Silviculturists are under increasing pressure
to develop practices that sustain the full function and dynamics of forested ecosystems and …

Silviculture to maintain old-growth forest attributes appears to be an oxymoron since the late
developmental phases of forest dynamics, described by the term old-growth, represent …

The world's forests and forestry sector are facing unprecedented biological, political, social,

The combination of certain features of fire disturbance, notably fire frequency, size and
severity, may be used to characterize the disturbance regime in any region of the boreal …

This book presents the latest scientific and management information on multiaged
silviculture, an emerging strategy for managing forestry systems worldwide. Over recent …

Given that fire is the most important disturbance of the boreal forest, climatically induced
changes in fire frequency (ie, area burnt per year) can have important consequences on the …

In Europe, forest management has controlled forest dynamics to sustain commodity
production over multiple centuries. Yet over‐regulation for growth and yield diminishes …

We use permanent‐plot data from the USDA Forest Service's Forest Inventory and Analysis
(FIA) program for an analysis of the effects of competition on tree growth along …
