Studies exploring forest productivity at an early age after fire and its determining factors are greatly needed. We studied forest productivity, defined as the combined quality of stocking and growth, of 116 10- to 30-year-old postfire sites. The sites were spread over a 90 000 km<sup>2<\/sup> area north of the Quebec commercial forestry limit and were dominated by <em>Picea mariana<\/em> (Mill.) B.S.P. and <em>Pinus banksiana<\/em> Lamb. Seventy-two percent of our sites were classified as unproductive, mainly because of poor growth. Because growth was mostly determined by climatic factors, afforestation alone may not be sufficient to increase stand productivity in our study area. In addition, our results suggest that <em>P. banksiana<\/em> on dry sites may be less resilient to fire than previously thought, presumably because of poor site quality and climate. Overall, this is one of the first studies to explore productivity issues at an early age in natural northern forests, and the analysis scheme that defines forest productivity as the result of growth and stocking could provide a useful tool to identify similar issues elsewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Published in Canadian Journal of Forest Research 45: 579-593. https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1139\/cjfr-2014-0273 Interest in northern forests is increasing worldwide for both timber production and climate change mitigation.
