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...

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 degradation is such that secondary succession of low-arctic tundra heath, mosses, and lichens, takes place. The extreme exposure of cleared sites enables a hardy group of tundra plants to compete with the local flora and invade the previously forested location. |
