Magnesium deficiency symptoms associated with sugar maple dieback in a Lower Laurentians site in southeastern QuebecCanadian Journal of Forest Research - Tập 18 Số 10 - Trang 1265-1269 - 1988
B. Bernier, M. Brazeau
Observations made in 1987 on sugar maple (Acersaccharum Marsh.) dieback in the deciduous forest of the Lower Laurentians, northwest of Quebec City, revealed the occurrence of magnesium deficiency in various sites. Visual foliar symptoms observed on sugar maple in a severely declining stand growing on well-drained, stony, loamy-sand soil of granitic origin are briefly described and illustr...... hiện toàn bộ
Phosphorus-fixing potential of Ah and H horizons subjected to acidificationCanadian Journal of Forest Research - Tập 19 Số 1 - Trang 132-134 - 1989
David Paré, B. Bernier
Invitro experiments on acidification of Ah and H horizons of soils originating from sugar maple (Acersaccharum Marsh.) stands in the Quebec Appalachians revealed that the amount of phosphate released to water by H horizons was not limited by acidification, while the phosphorus-fixing capacity of Ah horizons in the presence of added soluble phosphate increased linearly with increasing acid...... hiện toàn bộ
Windthrow hazard modelling in boreal forests of black spruce and jack pineCanadian Journal of Forest Research - Tập 35 Số 11 - Trang 2655-2663 - 2005
Jean-Gabriel Elie, Jean‐Claude Ruel
In this study we compare the mechanical resistance of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) and jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) and quantify the effect of species, forest cover type, and soil conditions on tree stability. To measure tree resistance to an applied load, 85 trees were pulled over using a cable and winch system. Predictive equations for the maximum turning moment that a ...... hiện toàn bộ
A New Index Representing Individual Tree Competitive StatusCanadian Journal of Forest Research - Tập 3 Số 4 - Trang 495-500 - 1973
James A. Moore, Carl A. Budelsky, Richard C. Schlesinger
A new competition index, modified Area Potentially Available (APA), was tested in a complex unevenaged stand composed of 19 different hardwood species. APA considers tree size, spatial distribution, and distance relationships in quantifying intertree competition and exhibits a strong correlation with individual tree basal area growth. The most important characteristic of APA is its potent...... hiện toàn bộ
Response of forage yield and quality to thinning and fertilization of young forests: implications for silvopasture managementCanadian Journal of Forest Research - Tập 44 Số 4 - Trang 281-289 - 2014
Pontus M.F. Lindgren, Thomas P. Sullivan
Integration of trees with forage and livestock production (silvopastoralism) could increase productivity of forest and range resources in western North America. Pre-commercial thinning (PCT) and fertilization are two silvicultural practices that could enhance silvopasture. We tested two hypotheses (H): that yield and quality of forage would be enhanced by (H1) heavy t...... hiện toàn bộ
A calibrateable site index model for Pinus kesiya plantations in southeastern AfricaCanadian Journal of Forest Research - Tập 32 Số 11 - Trang 1916-1928 - 2002
Kalle Eerikäinen, Danaza Mabvurira, Ladislaus Nshubemuki, Jussi Saramäki
The aim of the study was to develop a site index model for Pinus kesiya Royle ex Gordon plantations in southeastern Africa based on the relationship between the dominant height and stand age. Conversely, analysis of dominant height and age data showed that the growth patterns of plantations were different. In addition, the asymptotes and forms of standwise dominant height curves varied wi...... hiện toàn bộ
Using salvage logging and tolerance to risk to reduce the impact of forest fires on timber supply calculationsCanadian Journal of Forest Research - Tập 45 Số 4 - Trang 480-486 - 2015
Alain Leduc, Pierre Y. Bernier, Nicolas Mansuy, Frédéric Raulier, Sylvie Gauthier, Yves Bergeron
It is acknowledged that natural forest fires cannot and even should not be eliminated from the North American boreal forest. Forest fires produce immediate losses of wood volume, disrupt the conversion of the actual forest age structure into a target structure, and prevent planned timber supply (PTS) levels from being achieved. In this paper, we explore the extent to which periodic shortf...... hiện toàn bộ
