Ecological Legacies of Anthropogenic Burning in a British Columbia Coastal Te...
ABSTRACT Aim: Few long-term fire histories have been reconstructed in coastal temperate rain forests, and little is known regarding the spatial and temporal characteristics of... -
Ecological Legacies of Fire Detected Using Plot-Level Measurements and LiDAR ...
ABSTRACT Vegetation succession following fire disturbances has long been of interest in ecology, but the evolution of landscape pattern and structure following low-severity... -
A Forest in Transition: The Role of Small-Scale Disturbances
ABSTRACT Large and small scale natural disturbances shape and define characteristics of forest stands. This research examines the response of a western hemlock stand following... -
Fire Exclusion Destroys Habitats for At-Risk Species in a British Columbia Pr...
ABSTRACT Fire exclusion and suppression has altered the composition and structure of Garry oak and associated ecosystems in British Columbia. The absence of frequent low... -
Old-Growth Forest Structure in a Low-Productivity Hypermaritime Rainforest in...
ABSTRACT Dendrochronological analyses were conducted across a gradient of productivity and soil drainage quality characterizing four vegetation types in a low-productivity... -
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... -
Multiple Resource Limitation and Ontogeny Combined: A Growth Rate Comparison ...
ABSTRACT The combined effects of light, soil fertility, and ontogenetic changes on plant growth rates are poorly understood, yet these three factors play fundamental roles in... -
The Influence of Disturbance Type, Competition and Resource Availability on S...
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... -
Evaluation of Stand Dynamics After a 25-30 Year Old MPB Attack in the Flathea...
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,... -
Stand Recovery and Self-Organization Following Large-Scale Mountain Pine Beet...
ABSTRACT A mountain pine beetle (MPB) epidemic is currently ravaging large areas of interior British Columbia (BC) with significant implications for ecosystem services including... -
Range of Natural Variation in Structural Attributes of Young Stands: Refining...
ABSTRACT Most natural disturbances leave structural legacies that are used by a variety of organisms as forest regrows. Forest management prescribes retention of “wildlife tree... -
Complex Stands Research and Management Conference
INTRODUCTION (summarized) The Bulkley Valley Research Centre hosted a dynamic conference in February of 2007, attracting some of the province’s top forestry professionals as... -

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... -
Predicted Impacts of Hard Pine Stem Rusts on Lodgepole Pine Dominated Stands ...
ABSTRACT In 1997, 30 one-ha stem mapped plots were located in randomly selected juvenile lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. Ex Loud.) leading stands aged 15-20 years. The... -
Change of Allometry Between Coarse Root and Shoot of Lodgepole Pine (Pinus co...
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... -
Competition and Tree Crowns: A Neighborhood Analysis of Three Boreal Tree Spe...
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... -
Development of a Spatially Explicit Crown Model
ABSTRACT Recent changes in forest management goals have led to a diversification of silvicultural practices to maintain complex, mixed-species stands. Managing such stands... -
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 M...
The document outlines a collaborative effort involving various stakeholders to establish ecologically-driven strategies for the preservation of downed woody material (DWM) and... -
