ABSTRACT A retrospective study was undertaken in an old Mountain Pine Beetle (MPB) attacked forest to gain insight in stand dynamics post-beetle attack. Extent of mortality,...

ABSTRACT A mountain pine beetle (MPB) epidemic is currently ravaging large areas of interior British Columbia (BC) with significant implications for ecosystem services including...

PROJECT HISTORY, PURPOSE, METHODOLOGY AND SCOPE (summarized) This executive summary is part of a two year project, which started in April 2006 and runs till March 2008. This...

PROJECT PURPOSE AND MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS (summarized) The Mountain Pine Beetle (MPB) epidemic has shifted from controlling the outbreak to mitigating its impact on...

(From "Synopsis of FIA-FSP Research Projects (2004-2009)") Forest managers require robust, unbiased predictive equations of juvenile tree growth under a range of management...

ABSTRACT In this project, we incorporated a robust snag dynamics submodel into SORTIE-­ND, a version of the spatially explicit, individual tree model SORTIE (Pacala et al. 1996;...

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...

This report addresses the management practices and challenges related to sub-boreal forests in British Columbia. It discusses the historical dominance of clearcutting followed...

** ABSTRACT ** Competition for canopy space is a fundamental structuring feature of forest ecosystems and remains an enduring focus of research attention. We used a spatial...

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...

ABSTRACT A sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate general model dynamics and model predictions were compared to independent datasets from forests of northwestern BC....

** 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...

This project, assisted by Erin Hall, Gabe Newman, and Denise Bustard, is designed to quantify and predict growth responses to different management strategies of the dominant...
