Long-Term Recovery of Vegetation Communities After Harvesting in the Coastal...
ABSTRACT We sampled second-growth forests ranging in age from 28 to 98 years and compared them with old-growth forests to quantify rates of terrestrial vegetation recovery... -
The Influence of Disturbance Type, Competition and Resource Availability on...
ABSTRACT The incorporation of dynamics and disturbance is important for understanding the impacts of climate change on species response. In this study we investigated the biotic... -
Change of Allometry Between Coarse Root and Shoot of Lodgepole Pine (Pinus...
ABSTRACT This transect study in 41-178 year-old stands of Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta DOUGL. ex. LOUD.) in the southern boreal forest of British Columbia, Canada, analyses... -
Variable Retention in a Sub-Boreal Landscape: Is It Worth the Hassle?
** PRESENTATION ABSTRACT ** Stand-level studies have shown partial cutting (typically 30–70% canopy retention) maintains habitat for many species using mature forest. We used... -
Dead Wood in Forested Ecosystems: Managing, Modeling, Monitoring, and other...
The document outlines a collaborative effort involving various stakeholders to establish ecologically-driven strategies for the preservation of downed woody material (DWM) and... -
An Evaluation of the Main Factors Affecting Yield Differences between...
In British Columbia, many of our second-growth stands have regenerated as mixed-species stands and yet our understanding of how to manage these stands to achieve multiple goals... -
Competitive Interactions Across a Soil Fertility Gradient in a Multispecies Forest
** SUMMARY Report Description:** This report investigates the impact of plant competition and soil fertility on the growth rates of four dominant tree species in British... -
Long-term recovery of forest structure and composition after harvesting in...
Abstract: We examined young harvested (41–100) and naturally disturbed mature (101–250), and old (>250) temperate rainforests on the central and north coast of British...
