Nitrogen supply influences photosynthetic acclimation of yellow birch (Betula costata Trautv.) to the combination of elevated CO2 and warmer temperature
Rising CO2, global warming, and N deposition create challenging environmental conditions to vegetation. Since elevated CO2 and rising temperature are coupled with each other, it is important to understand their c...

CO2 elevation and soil warming reduce cold hardiness of jack pine under photoperiods of seed origin and latitudes of potential migration
Climate change is predicted to cause northward migration of boreal tree species. However, the success of such a migration will be determined by trees’ ability to acclimate to the environmental conditions at th...

Cold tolerance of black spruce, white spruce, jack pine, and lodgepole pine seedlings at different stages of spring dehardening
Understanding tree vulnerability to freezing temperatures will help resource managers to mitigate the effects of climatic variability. To test the effectiveness of tissue dehardening curves to represent whole ...

Effects of insufficient chilling on budburst and growth of six temperate forest tree species in Ontario
Insufficient winter chilling related to rising temperatures has raised questions about its potential effects on budburst timing (growth initiation) and subsequent tree growth. We quantified budburst timing and...

A Simulation of Temporal and Spatial Variations in Carbon at Landscape Level: A Case Study for Lake Abitibi Model Forest in Ontario, Canada
Using a case study of the Lake Abitibi Model Forest (LAMF), this study aims to assess the temporal and spatial variability in carbon storage during 1990–2000, and to present a comprehensive estimation of the c...

A soil temperature control system for ecological research in greenhouses
We designed and tested a soil temperature control system for plant ecophysiological experiments in greenhouses and growth chambers. The system consists of a plywood box, polyethylene liner, insulation, seedlin...
