Les forêts mixtes boréales (BMWs) sont les écosystèmes forestiers les plus productifs et les
plus diversifiés des forêts boréales nord-américaines. Une bonne compréhension de la …

This paper reviews aspects of the functional ecology of naturally established tree seedlings
in the boreal forests of North America with an emphasis on the relationship between light …

The Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) Program of the Forest Service, US Department of
Agriculture, conducts a national inventory of forests across the United States. A systematic …

The aim of this study was to quantify, both spatial and temporal variations of maximum leaf

The first global X-band spaceborne single-pass interferometer mission, TanDEM-X, provides
a spatially continuous map of global canopy elevations. In this paper, we assess the use of …

This paper characterizes the growth and crown morphology of young balsam fir saplings
naturally regenerated under a gradient of understory light environments and intraspecific …

This study tests whether crown and stem development in Norway spruce could be described
using a modified profile theory. 29 trees from three age-groups (25, 67, 86) with different …

This report describes in detail the various sampling methods and techniques used in
quantifying the ground, surface, ladder, and crown or canopy fuel characteristics of the jack …

Crown structure is a key variable influencing stand productivity, but its reported response to
various stand factors has varied. This can be partially attributed to lack of a unified study on …

The size of knots is negatively correlated with bending strength in sawn timber and it is
therefore used as a quality grading criterion in national roundwood grading standards …
