Vernakalant versus procainamide for rapid cardioversion of patients with acute atrial fibrillation (RAFF4): randomised clinical trial Open
Objective To conduct a randomised, open label comparison of the effectiveness and safety of intravenous vernakalant and intravenous procainamide for the management of acute atrial fibrillation in the emergency department. Design Randomised…
Impact of single and combined soil amendments on the growth and foliar nutrients of white spruce <i>(Picea glauca)</i> on a poorly regenerated logged site Open
Regeneration failure is occasionally encountered in the boreal mixed forest following clear-cutting, primarily due to competing vegetation and altered soil conditions. This study investigates the effects of applying several soil amendments…
Measuring and responding to forest degradation in Canada: an operational framework Open
Forest degradation resulting from human disturbance is a global concern that contributes to biodiversity loss, climate change, and reduced human health and well-being. The objective of this paper is to develop a framework for measuring and…

Forest type drives the response of boreal forested peatlands to wildfire: a simulation study Open
Boreal black spruce forests contribute to climate change mitigation by accumulating large amounts of carbon (C) in moss-derived peat. When left undisturbed, a thick peat layer can inhibit tree growth, and this trade-off between peat and tr…
Relationships between charcoal property and post fire productivity in the boreal forest Open
Fire disturbances are increasing under global climate change and ecological transformations of forests are occurring. Specifically, shifts from productive closed-canopy feather moss forests to low-productivity open-canopy lichen (Cladonia …
Proceedings of the 14th North American Forest Soils Conference Open
The 14th North American Forest Soils Conference (NAFSC) was held July 16–21, 2023, in Eugene, OR. This conference, which has occurred every 5 years, celebrated its 65th anniversary. The 2023 NAFSC included 28 oral presentations and 38 post…
Changes in understory plant communities following soil scarification and amendments in a Northern Hardwood Forest Open
The regeneration dynamics of sugar maple-dominated stands in northeastern North America are intricately influenced by global changes such as soil acidification, invasive species, forest management, and climate shifts. A notable challenge i…
Role of Antitroponin Antibodies and Macrotroponin in the Clinical Interpretation of Cardiac Troponin Open
Cardiac troponin is extensively used as a biomarker in modern medicine due to its diagnostic capability for myocardial injury, as well as its predictive and prognostic value for cardiac diseases. However, heterophile antibodies, antitropon…
Connecting forest soil properties with ecosystem services: Toward a better use of digital soil maps—A review Open
The soil supports many ecosystem services (ES) essential to human well‐being. Rapid developments in digital soil mapping (DSM) allow the mapping of soil types and soil properties with improved resolution and accuracy. However, the potentia…
Response of the soil microbial communities to forest ground cover manipulation in a boreal forest Open
In eastern Canada, boreal forests are locally experiencing a shift between two alternative stable states, productive closed-canopy feather moss (Pleurozium schreberi (Brid.) Mitt.) forests to low-productivity open lichen (Cladonia spp.) wo…
Changes in seedlings’ composition and abundance following soil scarification and amendments in a northern hardwood forest Open
A combination of global changes (e.g., soil acidification, invasive species, forest management, climate) impacts the regeneration dynamics of sugar maple-dominated stands in northeastern North America. More specifically, there are concerns…
Does wood mulch trigger microbially mediated positive plant-soil feedback in degraded boreal forest sites? A post hoc study Open
Introduction Reforestation of degraded lands in the boreal forest is challenging and depends on the direction and strength of the plant-soil feedback (PSF). Methods Using a gradient in tree productivity (null, low and high) from a long-ter…
Nine-years effect of harvesting and mechanical site preparation on bryophyte decomposition and carbon stocks in a boreal forested peatland Open
The boreal forest holds the world's largest soil carbon (C) reservoir. A large portion of it is contained in a thick organic layer originating from the slow decay of bryophytes. Because a thick organic layer slows down tree growth, reduces…
Initiating the transition from open-canopy lichen woodland to productive forest by transplanting moss, results from a 10-year experiment Open
Background and aims Low productivity open lichen ( Cladonia spp.) woodlands have been rapidly expanding in the closed-crown feather moss ( Pleurozium schreberi (Brid.) Mitt.) boreal forest of eastern Canada. While open-woodland areas are p…
Initiating the transition from open-canopy lichen woodland to productive forest by transplanting moss, results from a 10-year experiment Open
Background and aims Low productivity open lichen ( Cladonia spp. ) woodlands have been rapidly expanding in the closed-crown feather moss ( Pleurozium schreberi (Brid.) Mitt.) boreal forest in eastern Canada. While open-woodland areas are …
Effects of a warmer climate and forest composition on soil carbon cycling, soil organic matter stability and stocks in a humid boreal region Open
The maintenance of the large soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks of the boreal forest under climate change is a matter of concern. In this study, major soil carbon pools and fluxes were assessed in 22 closed-canopy forests located along an el…
Defoliation-induced changes in foliage quality may trigger broad-scale insect outbreaks Open
Top-down effects, like predation, are drivers of insect outbreaks, but bottom-up effects, like host nutritional quality, also influence outbreaks and could in turn be altered by insect-caused defoliation. We evaluated the prediction that h…
Effects of climate and forest composition on soil carbon cycling, soil organic matter stability and stocks in a humid boreal region Open
The maintenance of the large soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks of the boreal forest under climate change is a matter of concern. In this study, major soil carbon pools and fluxes were assessed in twenty-two closed-canopy forests located alo…

Nitrogen isotopes in the soil-to-tree continuum — Tree rings express the soil biogeochemistry of boreal forests exposed to moderate airborne emissions Open
Anthropogenic N emissions represent a potential threat for forest ecosystems, and environmental indicators that provide insight into the changing forest N cycle are needed. Tree ring N isotopic ratios (δ15N) appear as a contentious choice …
