ABSTRACT While wildland fire is globally most common at the savannah grassland ecotone, there is little evidence of fire in coastal temperate rainforests. We reconstructed fire...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Bulkley Valley – Lakes District (BVLD) in Northwestern BC, is marked by jagged mountain peaks and serene river valleys, the same features that make it a...

ABSTRACT Fire regimes in North American forests are diverse and modern fire records are often too short to capture important patterns, trends, feedbacks, and drivers of...

ABSTRACT Background: The global human footprint has fundamentally altered wildfire regimes, creating serious consequences for human health, biodiversity, and climate. However,...

ABSTRACT The Bulkley Valley Research Centre undertook a program of applied research to assist local communities in adapting to climate change, funded mainly through British...

ABSTRACT Climate change has already begun to impact British Columbian forests, and the direct and indirect impacts are predicted to increase in severity and magnitude....

In the province of British Columbia, Canada, four of the most severe wildfire seasons of the last century occurred in the past 7 years: 2017, 2018, 2021, and 2023. To...

PROJECT OVERVIEW In this study, we are focussing on understanding the response of the dominant tree species within their regeneration phase in the ecosystems of the central...

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...

Imagine for a moment, the grasslands of British Columbia. Chances are, the last place that will come to mind is the Skeena Region of northwest B.C. This, after all, is the land...

This climate change workshop was held at the Northwest Community College in 2011.

PRESENTATION ABSTRACT Stand-level studies have shown partial cutting (typically 30–70% canopy retention) maintains habitat for many species using mature forest. We used...

This workshop was one of several workshops held in Burns Lake April 2010. Its purpose was to introduce a collaborate research project that aims to adapt forest management...

INTRODUCTION (summarized) This report analyzes climate data from Smithers, BC, with a focus on the potential impact of anticipated temperature and rainfall increases in...

ABSTRACT This report presents a preliminary set of strategies for sustainable forest management in the Nadina Forest District in an era of climate change. These "adaptation...

Held in Burns Lake 2011, this workshop outlined an adaptive, forest management response to climate change in the Nadina District considering potential impacts of climate change...
