Inventory of Forest Biomass in Canada by G. M. Bonnor,Canadian Forestry Service Pdf
Canada's first complete forest inventory and first forest biomass inventory. Includes data for the NWT and Yukon. Forest biomass can be used as a source of energy supply.
Canada's Forest Inventory, 2001 by Mark Herbert Gillis,Katja Power,M. D. Gillis,J. J. Lowe Pdf
"Canada's Forest Inventory is a compilation of the most recent information on the extent and state of Canada's forest resources. The 2001 National Forest Inventory includes a revised land classification, an expanded species list, expanded coverage to include the entire land mass of Canada and an estimation of forest biomass."--Government of Canada publications website.
Forest Inventory-based Projection Systems for Wood and Biomass Availability by Susana Barreiro,Mart-Jan Schelhaas,Ronald E. McRoberts,Gerald Kändler Pdf
This book provides detailed descriptions of the forest biomass projection systems used in 22 countries in Europe and North America, as well as four European-wide systems. Separate chapters focus on the concepts of estimation of availability of woody biomass, compare and classify the different projection systems, and discuss the challenges and opportunities for the further development of these systems.
A Compilation of Forest Biomass Harvesting and Related Policy in Canada by Jean Roach,Shannon Marie Berch Pdf
The main objective of this literature review is to summarize policies, including legislation, regulations and guidelines, related to the harvest of woody forest biomass in Canada. The focus of the literature review is on policy that applies to Crown land. The report focusses on policy related to biomass harvesting from logged blocks and roadside debris, rather than purpose-grown plantations, since this is seen as the major new forest biomass energy source, and policy relating to the latter has not been developed in Canada.--Document.
Model Based Volume-To-Biomass Conversion for Forested and Vegetated Land in Canada by Paul Boudewyn Pdf
In response to the demand for forest biomass information, new models have been developed to estimate biomass of forest stands and the more common vegetated, non-treed areas in Canada. The modeling approach is distinct for the kind of stand (or polygon) under consideration, and includes techniques that can be used to estimate all the above-ground biomass components, including stem wood, stem bark, branches, and foliage. Plot data supplied from forest inventory agencies throughout Canada formed the basis of developing empirical volume-to-biomass conversion models for forested (treed) land. For non-treed vegetated areas without volume, look-up tables containing mean biomass values were produced from published scientific studies about plant biomass production. Empirical models and look-up tables are presented with examples of how they can be used to estimate biomass for specific combinations of classifiers. Together, the models and tables provide a consistent and comprehensible set of tools that can be used to estimate biomass components for stands, vegetated areas, or broader groupings of both, in Canada.--Document.
Forest Ecosystems, Forest Management and the Global Carbon Cycle by Michael J. Apps,David T. Price Pdf
Globally, forest vegetation and soils are both major stores of terrestrial organic carbon, and major contributors to the annual cycling of carbon between the atmosphere and the biosphere. Forests are also a renewable resource, vital to the everyday existence of millions of people, since they provide food, shelter, fuel, raw materials and many other benefits. The combined effects of an expanding global population and increasing consumption of resources, however, may be seriously endangering both the extent and future sustainability of the world's forests. About thirty chapters cover four main themes: the role of forests in the global carbon cycle; effects of past, present and future changes in forest land use; the role of forest management, products and biomass on carbon cycling, and socio-economic impacts.
Canada's Report on the Montréal Process Criteria and Indicators for the Conservation and Sustainable Management of Temperate and Boreal Forests by Canadian Forest Service Pdf
The Montreal Process was formed to advance the development of internationally agreed-upon criteria & indicators for sustainable forest management. The Canadian commitment to this process is demonstrated by the development of a domestic set of seven criteria & indicators, six of this relate to forest conditions, attributes, functions, or benefits. The seventh relates to the overall policy framework that can facilitate sustainable forest management and support efforts to conserve, maintain, or enhance the conditions, attributes, and benefits captured in the first six criteria. This report begins with an introduction describing forest ecosystems and forest management in Canada, explaining the area of forest covered by the report, and indentifying Canada-specific forest management characteristics to help place the criteria & indicators framework in context. The main section contains reports on the criteria, each with an introduction and reports on the corresponding indicators (what is being measured, indicator data or factual description, information sources). The final section contains a summary of all the criteria as well as an overview of Canada's ability to report on them and plans to enhance reporting capability in the future. Includes glossary.

The Carbon Budget of British Columbia's Forests, 1920-1989 by Werner Alexander Kurz,British Columbia. Ministry of Forests,Canada-British Columbia Partnership Agreement on Forest Resource Development: FRDA II.,Canadian Forest Service Pdf
The Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forest Sector is a national-scale model of forest sector carbon pools and fluxes. This model has been applied to conduct a retrospective analysis of the carbon budget of British Columbia forests for 1920-1989. This report details the assumptions behind the model and the data sources for historic disturbances such as wildfire, forest insects, and different types of harvesting. It then presents model results for biomass and soil carbon pools, carbon fluxes, changes in forest age-class structure, and the model's sensitivity to a change in the assumption that biomass can decline in the overmature growth phase. The appendix includes a summary of a workshop examining the retrospective analysis.

A Forestry Management Planning Strategy for Remote Communities by G. David Puttock,E. Bevilacqua,D. McGregor,Great Lakes Forestry Centre Pdf
This forest management framework provides Aboriginal communities with the necessary information and format to develop a long-term and integrated resource management plan. It is designed to be adapted as part of small-scale forestry operations to supply wood chips for burning in biomass heating facilities. The framework allows individual communities to modify the format to suit their needs. The report includes information with respect to the importance of planning, definitions of terms, and plan component parts such as land description, community objectives, traditional knowledge, inventory data, sustainable harvest levels, and plan monitoring. A model forest is described as a reference example based on clearly identified community goals and holistic land & resource management objectives. Sample data & information tables are provided along with a process to assist with developing a training strategy for community members. Planning costs are estimated and formulas are presented to allow preparation of cost estimates & budgets to suit community needs.
Forest Inventory Terms in Canada by Canada. Forest Inventory Committee Pdf
This publication is intended to reduce problems by providing the Canadian forestry community with common forest inventory terminology an explanation of usage. Presented in 3 sections, inventory procedures, glossary and appendices, the scope of this publication is limited to inventory for areas of wood production and harvesting. Inventory tasks are outlined in chronological sequence, the glossary includes terms, and 3 appendices present the metric measurements used in inventories, the symbols approved for species and species groups, and a description of the Canada Land Data System.
