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... -

This report's purpose is to address the significant mountain pine beetle epidemic in British Columbia's lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm.) forests and it... -
Evaluation of the Complex Stand Simulation Model SORTIE-ND for Timber Supply ...
ABSTRACT A sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate general model dynamics and model predictions were compared to independent datasets from forests of northwestern BC.... -
Long-term recovery of forest structure and composition after harvesting in th...
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... -
Growth Prediction of Canopy Trees in Complex Structured Mixed-Species Stands
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...
