Journal ArticleDOI
Natural fire regime : a guide for sustainable management of the Canadian boreal forest
TL;DR: The development of strategic-level forest management planning approaches and silvicultural techniques designed to maintain a spectrum of forest compositions and structures at different scales in the landscape is one avenue to maintain natural variability in the boreal forest.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural fire frequency for the eastern Canadian boreal forest: consequences for sustainable forestry
TL;DR: Using archives and dendroecological data, the fire frequency in four large sectors along a transect from eastern Ontario to central Quebec was reconstructed, showing a dramatic decrease in fire frequency that began in the mid-19th century and has been accentuated during the 20th century.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species and stand dynamics in the mixed woods of quebec's southern boreal forest
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of fire on the composition of mesic stands in the boreal forests of Quebec and confirmed that changes in forest composition observed while sampling portions of the landscape originating from different fires may be explained by simple processes occurring at the stand level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fire regimes at the transition between mixedwood and coniferous boreal forest in northwestern quebec
Yves Bergeron,Sylvie Gauthier,Sylvie Gauthier,Mike D. Flannigan,Mike D. Flannigan,Victor Kafka,Victor Kafka +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, fire history was reconstructed for an area of 15, 000 km 2 located in the transition zone between the mixed and coniferous forests in Quebec's southern boreal forest and the cumulative distribution of burnt area in relation to time since fire suggests that the fire frequency has decreased drastically since the end of the Little Ice Age (about 1850).
Journal ArticleDOI
Canopy gap characteristics and tree replacement in the southeastern boreal forest
Daniel Kneeshaw,Yves Bergeron +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify patterns in the gap disturbance regime along a succes- sional gradient in the southern boreal forest and uses this information to investigate canopy composition changes.
