Ecological Sustainability of Winter Harvesting in the Duck Mountain Provincial Park, SK: The Effects of Skidder Traffic, Slash Loading, and Cumulative Effects on Soils and Aspen Regeneration
In over-mature trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) forests, like those of the Duck Mountain Provincial Park (DMPP), mechanical harvesting has been shown to be an effective source of disturbance to re-establish a healthy and productive forest. However, harvesting operations can result in a degree …
