Commercial thinning to meet wood production objectives and develop structural heterogeneity: A case study in the spruce-fir forest, Québec, Canada

by Marie-Claude Boileau | 30 January 2019

Published in Forests 6: 510-532. https://doi.org/10.3390/f6020510 We evaluated the effectiveness of commercial thinning mainly from below (CT; 0, 26%, 32% and 40% merchantable basal area removals) in meeting wood production demands and developing structural...

Climate-induced changes in host tree-insect phenology may drive ecological state-shift in boreal forest

by Marie-Claude Boileau | 30 January 2019

Published in Ecology 96(6): 1480-1491 http://dx.doi.org/10.1890/13-2366.1 Climate change is altering insect disturbance regimes via temperature-mediated phenological changes and trophic interactions among host trees, herbivorous insects and their natural enemies in...

Beneficial effects of climate warming on boreal tree growth may be transitory

by Marie-Claude Boileau | 30 January 2019

Published in Nature Communications 9(1): 3213. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-05705-4 Predicted increases in temperature and aridity across the boreal forest region have the potential to alter timber supply and carbon sequestration. Given the widely-observed...

Family variation in the morphology and physiology of white spruce (Picea glauca) seedlings in response to elevated CO2 and temperature

by Audrey Verreault | 30 January 2019

Published in Journal of Sustainable Forestry 34(3): 169-198. https://doi.org/10.1080/10549811.2014.980895 Tree improvement programs aim to develop families that are well-adapted to future growing conditions. To gain insight into the stability of the family genetic...

Ground-layer composition may limit the positive impact of precommercial thinning on boreal stand productivity

by Marie-Claude Boileau | 30 January 2019

Published in Forest Science 63(6): 559-568 https://doi.org/10.5849/FS-2017-062R2 In the boreal forest, ground-layer composition may modulate the effects of precommercial thinning (PCT) on stand productivity by affecting tree growth conditions. Based on data from 15...
