• Insect community composition and trophic guild structure in decaying logs from eastern Canadian pine-dominated forests (2006, background): “…researchers have documented relationships between CWD abundance and saproxylic insects, and in conjunction with the findings of Grove (2002b) and Work et al. (2004), suggests that reductions in CWD resources may have negative impacts on this fauna even where levels exceed those presently found…”
• Biodiversity and multiple disturbances : boreal forest ground beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) responses to wildfire, harvesting, and herbicide (2007, methodology): “Around each pitfall trap, we established a 1 m2 plot in which we identified all understorey plant species using Johnson et al. (1995) and determined plant species richness, as well as percent cover by plants, litter (organic debris), and bare ground (exposed mineral soil).”
• The reduction of organic-layer depth by wildfire in the North American boreal forest and its effect on tree recruitment by seed (2007, unknown): “In 1998 we sampled mature (114–131 years old) mesic forest stands of three different species compositions (aspen-dominated, aspen – white spruce mixedwood, white spruce-dominated) at the Ecosystem Management Emulating Natural Disturbance (EMEND) research site in northwestern Alberta (see Work et al”
• The effects of forestry on carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in boreal forests (2007, background): “…carabids require specific habitat elements (Niemelä et al. 1996; Koivula 2001; Koivula and Niemelä 2002; de Warnaffe and Lebrun 2004; Work et al. 2004), with many species showing associations with certain micro-site characteristics (Heliölä et al. 2001; Koivula 2002a, b; Koivula…”
