The effect of ontogeny, competition, site, and climate on background mortality for trees of nine species in Canadian boreal forest Open
Background tree mortality can be defined as the death of trees that naturally occurs as stands develop, in the absence of major or sudden stand disturbances. The phenomenon is often linked to ontogeny and competition and generally affects …

Forest Structure and Composition Diverge Following Harvesting Compared to a Spruce Budworm Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.) Outbreak Open
Balsam fir ( Abies balsamea) is the most vulnerable species to the spruce budworm ( Choristoneura fumiferana ), one of the most devastating defoliators in the world. For decades, pest managers have advocated for reducing its abundance in t…

Impacts of spruce budworm defoliation on the habitat of woodland caribou, moose, and their main predators Open
Forest logging has contributed to the decline of several woodland caribou populations by causing the fragmentation of mature coniferous stands. Such habitat alterations could be worsened by spruce budworm (SBW) outbreaks. Using 6201 vegeta…
