The Traits of Plants in Canada (TOPIC) open access literature review module provides access to an open dataset of data gathered from the scientific literature. The Traits of Plants in Canada (TOPIC) database serves as a hub for centralizing knowledge on plant functional traits in Canada. Under...

Traits of Plants in Canada (TOPIC) Open Access provides an access to TOPIC datasets as data become publicly available. The database is organized in two separate modules: 1) The Literature review module aims to consolidate data gathered from the scientific literature. 2) The Empirical measurements...

Co-Vitas project traits data. The Co-VITAS project is investigating understory species (6 ubiquitous boreal species) response and adaptive capacity to environmental change, by measuring a set of leaf and root traits throughout the species range. We enlisted and coordinated the efforts of 23...

Foliar traits measured in one study were used to develop an applied model to help restoration practitioners select an ideal mix of species to plant to achieve their restoration goals. We used trait-function relationships to characterize the effects of species on ecosystem functions. The dataset...

Specific leaf area used in an investigation of the functional and structural recovery of seismic lines in upland boreal forests in northwestern Alberta and explore the use of forest management as a way to accelerate their recovery. Please site as: Santala, K., Schoonmaker, A., Aubin, I. 2020....

This dataset is associated with the article authored by Christine Martineau, Julien Beguin, Armand Séguin and David Paré " Cumulative effects of disturbances on soil nutrients: predominance of antagonistic short-term responses to the salvage logging of insect-killed stands". It comprises 24 plots...

Counts of SBW larvae collected in the fall as L2 or in the following spring as L4, from 75-cm branches or 45-cm branch tips (respectively) of balsam fir in the Ottawa River valley from 1998-2001, North Shore 2008-2010, and New Brunswick 2017-2022. Defoliation measured at the end of the feeding...

Compilation by start date of 7-day exposure periods, of the number of spruce budworm larvae exposed that were recovered and either reared to adult or received a parasitism diagnostic. Data linked to scientific paper: Martel V, Régnière J & Therrien P. (2023) Competition between Tranosema...

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Sustainability of timber harvest indicator compares the amount of timber harvested with the estimated wood supply. Wood...

This publication contains thirteen (13) maps of different biogeochemical and soil properties of forest ecosystems of Canada’s managed forest. A scientific article gives additional details on the methodology: Paré, D., Manka, F., Barrette, J., Augustin, F., Beguin, J. 2021. Indicators of site...
