Book Description
This paper reviews studies that have examined the effects of forest herbicide treatments on wildlife in Ontario and similar northern coniferous ecosystems. Since most of the research has been short-term, valid generalizations about the effects of conifer release with herbicides on specific wildlife species or groups must be limited to 1 or 2 growing seasons after treatment. Conifer release is only one of several forest management tools designed to direct secondary succession and shape future forests. Managed forests, moreover, are only parts of larger ecosystems, which in turn are parts of the overall landscape. The effects of the composition of the landscape mosaic on resident wildlife should be considered when conifer release is discussed. In Ontario, where harvesting has reduced the coniferous component in forests and landscapes, conifer release could help restore this component and increase both forest and wildlife diversity.

Book Description
Forest managers commonly use herbicides to release young conifers from associated non-crop vegetation. Concern has been raised over the potential effects on wildlife of conifer release with herbicides. The most commonly used herbicide in Canadian forestry is Vision, whose active ingredient is glyphosate. Although glyphosate is considered practically non-toxic to mammals, indirect effects (reduced forage) concern both biologists and hunters. This report examines the effects of Vision on moose browse quantity and moose area use near Thunder Bay, Ontario, to study the effects of conifer release with Vision on nutritional browse quality four and eight years after treatment. Both winter (twigs) and summer (leaves) forages were analysed from four plant species commonly eaten by moose in early successional forests: hazel, aspen, raspberry, and willow. Results are presented only for the more important nutrient, digestible protein.

Book Description
"This bibliography compiles all publications written, co-authored, or commissioned by OFRI staff between 2001 and 2005. During this period over 200 publications were produced including 3 books, 87 journal articles, 26 reports, 11 technical notes, 5 newsletters, 47 papers/summaries in conference/workshop proceedings. Topics covered are diverse: understanding natural disturbance regimes and landscape dynamics, carbon budgets and effects of climate change on forests, results of 1998 ice storm research, silviculture studies covering everything from site preparation, tree improvement, stock production, planting, and vegetation management, to stand growth and yield, thinning, disease management and harvesting for conifer, mixedwood, and hardwood forests in the boreal and Great Lakes region of Ontario. Author and subject indexes are provided."--Document.
