Forestry Operations in the Canadian Subarctic: an Ecological Argument Against Clear-cutting

Environmental and floristic evidence is presented to show that, after removal of the White Spruce ( Picea glauca ) and willow-alder ( Salix spp.–Alnus crispa ) canopies from exposed sites within the boreal woodland of the Mackenzie River Delta, Northwest Territories, Canada, environmental degradatio...
