This bibliography was produced to assist foresters and scientists interested in modelling boreal forest succession at broad scales. It contains more than 600 citations describing existing knowledge on succession in North American boreal forests, and the current state-of-knowledge in modelling succession, with particular emphasis on broad scales. References on succession in boreal forests are grouped by geographic and taxonomic categories. This bibliography also provides information on theories and concepts of succession modelling, issues of scale in modelling succession, the spatial process of propagule dispersal, and the probalistic modelling of forest succession. An author index is provided to help users located citations of interest.
Describes a study undertaken to develop a synoptic model of forest succession (vegetation dynamics) in the north-western Ontario boreal region. Successional trends were inferred using two complementary approaches: analysis of class size distributions of trees and species vital attributes, and enumeration of stands at different post-fire ages. A sample of 1,389 plots enumerated within a study area of about 184,000 square kilometres was used. Cover values and detailed information on edaphic and landform variables were collected from each plot. Model development included classification into one of 12 vegetation stand types, summarizing of successional trajectories for each stand type, and synthesis of the trajectories to create a synoptic forest succession model that recognizes two self-perpetuating forest canopy types.
