WHITE SPRUCE (PICEA GLAUCA), MOOSE (ALCES ALCES) AND THE ORIGIN OF A ZOOTIC DISCLIMAX COMMUNITY ON ISLE ROYALE
… and competitive responses of white spruce (<em>Picea glauca</em>), a non-palatable species, to the savanna environment. Most tree species had lower densities in savannas, however bird-dispersed species mountain ash (<em>Sorbus decora</em>)<em> </em>and chokecherry (<em>Prunus virginiana</em>) …

Caractérisation moléculaire des communautés microbiennes associées à la rhizosphère de picea glauca non génétiquement modifiés et génétiquement modifiés avec le transgène BT(CryIa(b))
… peuplant la rhizosphère d'épinette blanches (Picea glauca ) génétiquement modifiées par l'insertion biolistique des transgènes cryIa(b)/uidA/nptII furent comparées avec celles des communautés microbiennes associées à la rhizosphère de plants homologues non génétiquement modifiés, ainsi qu'à …

Structure, distribution and innervation of sensilla on the ovipositor of the spruce budworm Choristoneura fumiferana, and electrophysiological reponses from type II sensilla
… from their most preferred host, white spruce (Picea glauca), revealed no differences between unmated and mated insects. Mated and unmated females' sensilla responded differently to common polar nutrients. Results from this study suggest that mated females may be using polar compounds rather …

The effects of harvest intensity and seedbed type on germination and early survival of balsam fir and white spruce in the southern boreal forest
… ( Abies balsamea (L.) Mill) and white spruce ( Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) were examined. The harvest intensities canopies included a 1/3 rd and 2/3 rd partial cut, a clearcut and a control (full canopy). The seedbeds were mineral, humus (O h ) and organic (O f ). In clearcuts, seedbeds included …

Sexual recruitment of trees following fire in the southern mixedwood boreal forest of Canada
… of four tree species, Pinus banksiana Lamb., Picea mariana (L.) Mill., Picea glauca (Moench) Voss and Populus tremuloides Michx., was studied in the mixedwood boreal forest of Saskatchewan, Canada. The main objective of the study was to estimate the recruitment densities of germinants as a …

Plant Community Development of Isle Royale's Moose-Spruce Savannas
… moisture regimes and plant communities. <em>Picea glauca</em> and <em>Poa pratensis </em>competed in a dynamic inhibitory relationship. The former facilitated forest plants while the latter out-competed other plants and promoted open swards. These interactions are dramatically changing the …

Soil based vegetation productivity modeling for a northern Michigan surface mining region
… red maple (Acer rubrum L.), white spruce (Picea glauca [Moench] Voss), red pine (Pinus resinosa Aniton), eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.), jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.), and lilac (Syringa vulgaris L.). Soil attributes that were examined in this research include: available water …

Spruce bark beetle disturbance in the forest-tundra ecotones of southwest Yukon: impacts and predisposing factors
… on the growth and establishment of white spruce (Picea glauca). Specific objectives were to evaluate (i) the relationships between stand structure and variance in beetle-induced mortality and (ii) growth patterns between stands affected and relatively unaffected by the outbreak. Information on …

Fine-Scale Mechanisms Influencing Germination Success, Seedling Growth and Survival in an Alpine Forest-Tundra Ecotone
… To that end, I studied the white spruce (Picea glauca) alpine treeline in the Kluane region of southwest Yukon to explore two important questions related to treeline ecology: (1) Is there sufficient viable seed dispersed at and beyond treeline for successful advance? (2) What are the most …

Nuclear and cytoplasmic genetic variation in Picea: DNA markers for evaluating past migration, introgression and evolutionary history
… identified in range-wide populations of white (Picea glauca), black (P. mariana ) and red spruce (P. rubens). The chloroplast genome exhibited more intraspecific variation than the mitochondrial genome. Red spruce displayed the most total chloroplast genetic diversity (H T = 0.52). …

Interacting effects of soil nitrogen supply and light availability on understory sapling growth and foliar attributes
… forests, understory Tsuga heterophylla and Picea glauca x sitchensis had consistent foliar N% across gradients of light availability; in contrast, foliar N% of Betula papyrifera and Thuja plicata declined with increasing shade, which would distort assessments of soil fertility and perhaps …

Habitat Selection By Female White-Tailed Deer in the Northern Black Hills, South Dakota and Wyoming
… selection in those habitats in winter. Spruce (Picea glauca), aspen/beaked hazel/spiraea (Populus tremuloides/Corylus cornuta/Spiraea betulifolia), and pine/aspen habitats were avoided in winter. During spring, deer selected agricultural lands and aspen/beaked hazel/spiraea habitat, while all …

Dendroarchaeology in the Mackenzie Mountains: The Moose Horn Pass Caribou Fence (KjRx-1)
… fences ages. To do this, living white spruce (Picea glauca) trees in the area were cored to determine the overall growth pattern in the local environment. The arrangement of wide and narrow rings reflects local growing conditions. This pattern, ending at a known point in time, provides a …

A Dendroclimatic Investigation of Southwestern Saskatchewan
… albicaulis, Pinus ponderosa, Pinus contorta, Picea glauca, and Pseudotsuga menziesii) were collected and updated from the Sweet Grass Hills and Bears Paw Mountains (Montana, USA), and the Cypress Hills (Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada). Correlation analysis was used to identify significant …

Tracking nuclear generating station emissions and fossil fuel contributions using tree rings in southern Ontario, Canada
… Δ14C tree-ring signatures from white spruce (Picea glauca) and blue spruce (Picea pungens) can track 14C-enrichment from NGS 14C emissions when comparing peaks in tree-ring Δ14C offset data and 14C emissions during the trees’ growing season. Tree-ring Δ14C signatures are also observed in …

Vegetative storage protein accumulation and physiological changes occurring within interior spruce seedlings
… in nursery-grown Interior spruce seedlings (Picea glauca and P.engelmanni complex) was evaluated along with changes in seedling physiology. The 30 kD and 27 kD vegetative storage proteins (VSP) appeared after vegetative maturity (budset) and accumulated during the development of rest and the …

Distribution and Abundance of American Martens and Cougars in the Black Hills of South Dakota and Wyoming
… Hills coincided with white spruce-dominated (Picea glauca) forests and associated contiguous forests of other types (predominantly ponderosa pine, Pinus ponderosa). High-quality marten habitat consisted of mature, dense canopied (>50%), spruce-dominated forests, in riparian areas, and at …

Habitat Selection of White-tailed and Mule Deer in the Southern Black Hills, South Dakota
… female white-tailed deer selected spruce (Picea glauca) and ponderosa pine/spruce. Male white-tailed deer selected ponderosa pine habitats. All white-tailed deer avoided meadows during the summer and selected habitats with > 40% canopy cover. Habitats with a shrub understory component also …

Ecological site quality, site index, and height growth of white spruce stands in the sub-boreal spruce zone of British Columbia
… ecological site quality and white spruce [Picea glauca (Moench) Voss] height growth, vegetation, soil, foliar nutrient, and stem analysis data were obtained from 102 white spruce-dominated stands across a wide range of sites throughout the Sub-Boreal Spruce (SBS) biogeoclimatic zone of …
