Fire in the woods or fire in the boiler: implementing rural district heating to reduce wildfire risks in the forest-urban interface
(ElsevierThe Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2015)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Many rural communities in British Columbia (western Canada) are at risk from wildfire. This risk will increase over time as a result of climate change because of higher average temperatures, longer growing seasons, and ...
Pedogenic, mineralogical and land-use controls on organic carbon stabilization in two contrasting soils
(Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2010)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Organo-mineral complexation in soils is strongly controlled by pedogenesis, but the mechanisms controlling it and its interaction with cultivation are not yet well understood. We compared the mineralogy and quality of ...
Survival and growth as measures of shade tolerance of planted western redcedar, western hemlock and amabilis fir seedlings in hemlock-fir forests of northern Vancouver Island
(Elsevier, 2017)
Artículo / Artikulua,
We examined two measures of shade tolerance (survival and growth) of planted 1-year-old seedlings of western redcedar (Thuja plicata (Donn ex D. Don)), western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla ([Raf.] Sarg.)) and amabilis fir ...
Physiological responses of legume nodules to drought
(Global Science Books, 2011)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Legumes include important agricultural crops, as their high protein content is of primary importance for human food and animal feed. In addition, the ability of most of them to establish symbiotic relationships with soil ...
Evaluation of the effects of forest management strategies on carbon sequestration in evergreen broad-leaved (Phoebe bournei) plantation forests using FORECAST ecosystem model
(Elsevier, 2013)
Artículo / Artikulua,
In the context of global climate change, it is critical to study how different forest management
practices affect forest carbon sequestration. This is especially important for forest managers
and policy makers who will ...
Impacts of enhanced nitrogen deposition and soil acidification on biomass production and nitrogen leaching in Chinese fir plantations
(NRC Research Press, 2012)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Atmospheric pollution levels in China are increasing quickly. Experience from other polluted regions shows that tree growth could be affected, but long-term effects of N deposition and soil acidification on Chinese forests ...
Multiple pathway succession in coastal Tsuga heterophylla, Thuja plicata and Abies amabilis forests on northeastern Vancouver Island, British Columbia
(NRC Research Press, 2014)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Sustainable forest practices are often designed to mimic natural disturbance and successional processes, yet succession is poorly understood in many ecosystems. On northeastern Vancouver Island, the ‘disturbance hypothesis’ ...
Importancia de la caracterización de la biomasa de raíces en la simulación de ecosistemas forestales
(Asociación Española de Ecología Terrestre, 2013)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Los análisis de sensibilidad son una herramienta importante para comprender el funcionamiento de los modelos ecológicos, así como para identificar
los parámetros más importantes en su funcionamiento. Además, los análisis ...
Modelos ecológicos: descripción, explicación y predición
(Asociación Española de Ecología Terrestre, 2013)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Los ecosistemas son, por definición, complejos sistemas en los que factores biológicos, climáticos y geológicos se combinan con factores sociales, políticos y económicos para producir una serie de procesos ambientales que ...
Fermentation and alternative oxidase contribute to the action of amino acid biosynthesis-inhibiting herbicides
(Elsevier, 2015)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Acetolactate synthase inhibitors (ALS-inhibitors) and glyphosate (GLP) are two classes of herbicide that act by the specific inhibition of an enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of branched-chain or aromatic amino acids, ...
