Douglas-fir radial growth in interior British Columbia can be linked to long-term oscillations in Pacific and Atlantic sea surface temperatures
(NCR Research Press, 2017)
Artículo / Artikulua,
A major problem in modern dendrochronology is that the methods traditionally used for linking tree ring growth data to climate records are not well suited to reconstructing low-frequency climatic variations. In this study, ...
Land use change effects on carbon and nitrogen stocks in the Pyrenees during the last 150 years: a modelling approach
(Elsevier, 2015)
Artículo / Artikulua,
In the southern Pyrenees, human population and therefore land uses have changed from forests to pastures, then crops, and back to pastures and secondary forests during the last two centuries. To understand what such rapid ...
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 ...
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’ ...
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 ...
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 ...
Resilience assessment of lowland plantations using an ecosystem modeling approach
(MDPI, 2015)
Artículo / Artikulua,
As afforestation programs of former farmlands take hold in Taiwan to achieve a
variety of ecological and socio-economic values, it is becoming necessary to define best
forest management. Hence, we simulated mixed ...
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 ...
