    Spruce budworm and management effects on forest and wood product carbon for an intensively managed forest (2010)
    Canadian Science Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-09-01
    Description: An integrated forest management optimization model was developed to calculate potential spruce budworm ( Choristoneura fumiferana Clemens) effects on forest and wood product carbon (C) from 2007 to 2057 and to evaluate potential C sequestration benefits of alternative management strategies (salvage, biological insecticide application). The model was tested using simulated spruce budworm outbreaks on a 210 000 ha intensively managed forest in northwestern New Brunswick, Canada. Under a severe spruce budworm outbreak scenario from 2007 to 2020, harvest volume and forest and wood product C storage in 2027 were projected to be reduced by 1.34 Mm3, 1.48 Mt, and 0.26 Mt, respectively, compared with the levels under no defoliation. Under the same severe outbreak scenario, implementation of salvage and harvest replanning plus a biological insecticide applied aerially to 40% of susceptible forest area, reduced harvest, forest C, and wood product C impacts by 73%, 41%, and 56%, respectively. Extrapolation of these results to all of New Brunswick suggests that a future severe spruce budworm outbreak could effectively increase total provincial annual C emissions (all sources) by up to 40%, on average, over the next 20 years. This modeling approach can be used to identify to what extent insecticide application, as a forest-C-offset project, could result in additional C storage than without forest and pest management.

    Dead wood dynamics in declining balsam fir and spruce stands in New Brunswick, Canada (2007)
    Canadian Science Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2007-04-01
    Description: Forest management prescriptions increasingly incorporate snag and downed dead wood (DDW) guidelines. This study utilizes permanent inventory plots to determine dead wood dynamics in 33 balsam fir ( Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.) – spruce ( Picea spp.) (BFSP) and 17 spruce – balsam fir (SPBF) stands in New Brunswick, Canada. Stands were declining, unmanaged, and had a history of recurrent spruce budworm ( Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.)) outbreaks and aerial insecticide spraying. Fixed-area sampling matched remnants of 1165 dead trees and 864 corresponding pieces of DDW to plot trees that died over the last 15–18 years with known year and cause of death. Declining BFSP stands had the highest accumulation of dead wood (196 m3/ha) compared with SPBF and nondeclining BFSP (122 m3/ha and 77 m3/ha, respectively). Dead wood dynamics were influenced by cause of death, as a function of differences in tree height at death affecting snag decay, fragmentation, and fall. One-half of all dead trees never made a significant contribution to the snag population (25% uprooted and 25% stem breakage), and attrition resulted in only 50% of snags standing with a mean height of 6 m 15–20 years after death. This study will be of direct value to those managing or modeling dead wood dynamics in similar forests.

    Windthrow and growth response following a spruce budworm inspired, variable retention harvest in New Brunswick, Canada (2015)
    Canadian Science Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-06-01
    Description: Forest management regimes increasingly focus on the emulation of natural disturbance events, e.g., fire or insect outbreaks, to help increase ecosystem sustainability. We determined the residual stand response to a variable retention harvest inspired by spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana (Clemens)) outbreaks in New Brunswick, Canada. Our objectives were to analyze the differences between surviving residual trees and those that succumbed to windthrow and to quantify growth release. The treatment was based on harvesting the estimated spruce budworm outbreak mortality, i.e., 90% of mature balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill., 60% of mature spruce (Picea spp.), and no hardwoods. Windthrow increased with the proportion of trees harvested and averaged 52% over 7–9 years in these stands with high balsam fir – spruce content. One-third of 42 harvested plots sustained 〉30% windthrow, whereas 73% of 11 similar unharvested plots had

    Changes in landscape composition and stand structure from 19452002 on an industrial forest in New Brunswick, Canada (2005)
    Canadian Science Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-08-01
    Description: Detailed 19441947 cruise data and maps were used to compare species composition, age-class distribution, and stand structure between 1945 and 2002, for a 190 000 ha industrial forest in New Brunswick, Canada. Softwood forest area in 1945 and 2002 was similar, at 40% and 42%, respectively, but mixed hardwoodsoftwood decreased from 37% to 18%, and hardwood increased from 10% to 25%. Forest management from 1945 to 2002 resulted in the forest (1) becoming younger, with 86% of the trees 〉70 years old in 2002 versus 44% in 1945, (2) becoming denser, with 100300 more stems per hectare and 47 m2/ha more basal area in 2002, and (3) having less balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.) 31%66% in 1945 versus 4%38% in 2002 of basal area for stands with 〉30% softwood. Management reduced balsam fir to lower mortality associated with spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.)) outbreaks. The area of old (≥70 years old, with ≥10 trees/ha ≥30 cm DBH) and large (≥70 years old, with ≥5 trees/ha ≥45 cm DBH) spruce-fir and mixedwood wildlife habitats decreased from 112 600 and 55 200 ha in 1945 to 8200 and 7200 in 2002, respectively, while hardwood habitat increased from 22 800 to 71 500 ha. Management increased timber production while maintaining similar softwood species composition, but altered age structure and areas of mixedwood and hardwood forest types.

    Interactions among defoliation level, species, and soil richness determine foliage production during and after simulated spruce budworm attack (2020)
    Canadian Science Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-06-01
    Description: Defoliation level and site type are thought to influence tree response during spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana (Clemens)) outbreaks. We determined the effects of four manual defoliation treatments (0%, 50%, 100%, and 100% + bud removal of current foliage) for 3 years on foliage production of balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.), black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) Britton, Sterns & Poggenb.), and white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) trees on four site-quality classes. After 3 years of defoliation and 2 years of recovery, foliage biomass was reduced by 34%–98%. During defoliation, the number of shoots generally increased and shoot length of spruce generally decreased, especially on rich sites. During recovery, the number of shoots increased substantially, shoot length decreased, and bud destruction reduced the number of shoots by about 50% compared with that of trees that received the 100% defoliation treatment. Defoliation did not substantially affect needle length. Trees on rich sites had two- to fourfold greater foliage production than trees on poor sites. Effects of site and defoliation differed among species, but site quality, especially nutrition, played an important role in production of shoots and needles and the tree’s ability to withstand defoliation. Black spruce had more limited ability to recover foliage biomass, only producing more shoots, whereas balsam fir and white spruce had stronger ability to recover needle and shoot length, respectively.

    Defoliation by spruce budworm: estimation by ocular and shoot-count methods and variability among branches, trees, and stands (1982)
    Canadian Science Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 1982-09-01
    Description: Ocular and shoot-count defoliation estimation techniques were compared for accuracy and precision at the levels of branches and crown position within trees, whole trees, plots, and stands. A shoot-count estimate of defoliation for a midcrown branch had the best relative accuracy (±7%), while the best ocular estimate was for the whole tree by an experienced observer (accuracy ±12%). Ocular estimates were biased towards ovcrestimation at low defoliation levels (error 20–30% defoliation), and previous defoliation caused the ovcrestimation of current defoliation by 30–40% on trees that had been previously severely defoliated. Observers were found to be consistent in their rating, but biased by about ±10%; experienced observers were about 5–10% more accurate than inexperienced observers. Intertree variance in defoliation was greater than intratree variance or variance between plots in a stand. It was concluded that ocular estimation of defoliation is a viable technique that can give accuracy within the limits required for surveys and many research applications, if the influence of observer experience, observer bias, and previous defoliation arc recognized, and adjusted for when necessary.

    Nutrient accumulation for postfire jack pine and hardwood succession patterns in New Brunswick (1977)
    Canadian Science Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 1977-12-01
    Description: Distribution of N, P, K, Ca, and Mg in the tree, understory, forest floor, and mineral soil horizons was determined for two series of postfire forest stands in northeastern New Brunswick. Twelve pure jack pine stands (Pinusbanksiana Lamb.) and 11 mixed hardwood stands aged 7–57 years were examined. Regression equations relating aboveground tree nutrient content to diameter for eight tree species were calculated. The jack pine stands demonstrated variable stand density, but adjustment to normal stocking produced a sigmoid nutrient accumulation pattern in the tree layer during the 60-year period. Nutrient accumulation in the tree layer of both series of stands closely approximated biomass accumulation. Understory nutrients formed a significant fraction of the total aboveground pool, particularly in the younger stands. Organic and mineral soil horizon nutrients were found to be highly variable for both series of stands; this was postulated to be a result of the fire origin of the stands, with varying fire intensity and postfire conditions resulting in different nutrient losses from the site.

    Accuracy of aerial sketch-mapping estimates of spruce budworm defoliation in New Brunswick (1996)
    Canadian Science Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 1996-12-01
    Description: The accuracy of aerial sketch-mapping estimates of spruce budworm (Choristoneurafumiferana (Clem.)) defoliation was evaluated from 1984 to 1993 in 222–325 sample plots in spruce (Picea sp.)–balsam fir (Abiesbalsamea (L.) Mill.) stands in New Brunswick. Operational aerial defoliation estimates were used, wherein all productive forest in known budworm infestation zones was surveyed each year from small aircraft with flight lines 2–5 km apart, and rated in classes of nil (0–10%), light (11–30%), moderate (31–70%), and severe (71–100%). Aerial defoliation estimates were compared with ground-based binocular estimates of current defoliation for an average of 10 trees/plot (range 5–20). Overall, 56% of plots were correctly rated by aerial sketch mapping in four classes (nil, light, moderate, and severe), with 37% of the plots underestimated and 7% overestimated. The predominant error (26% of plots) was rating defoliation as nil (0–10%) from the air when it was actually light (11–30%). This error was deemed not important in terms of predicting tree response, since data from the literature indicated that defoliation less than 30% did not cause tree mortality, although if continued, it would reduce growth. Using three defoliation classes (by combining nil and light, 0–30%), 82% of the plots were correctly classified by aerial sketch mapping. The probability of correct aerial classification of defoliation was significantly affected by defoliation class, weather conditions prior to and during observation flights, and the defoliation class × weather interaction. It was concluded that aerial sketch mapping of spruce budworm defoliation is a viable technique that can be used for both surveys and decision support systems that estimate forest response to budworm outbreaks and management activities.
