Abstract:
Diatom analyses of sediments from a high elevation lake situated in an Engelmann Spruce - Subalpine Fir (ESSF) forest of south-central British Columbia, Canada, reveal long-term climate and water chemistry change. During the transition from the late-glacial / Pleistocene to the xerothermic early Holocene, small, benthic Fragilaria diatoms species that grew under low light conditions in Sicamous Creek Lake gave way to planktonic Cyclotella species that require open-water conditions. Warm temperatures in the mesothermic Holocene are indicated by smaller Cyclotella species and large, benthic penn

Abstract:
We used transect surveys at a large-scale experimental site at Sicamous Creek, B.C. to measure the effects of five treatments on wind and snow damage in an old subalpine fir – Engelmann spruce forest: 10-ha clearcuts, arrays of 1-ha patch cuts, arrays of 0.1-ha patch cuts, individual-tree selection cuts and uncut controls. We also examined edge effects and conditions predisposing trees to damage. Transects were surveyed in 1997, 1999 and 2003 (2.7, 4.7 and 8.7 years postharvest). The increase in wind damage in the four harvested treatments compared to the uncut controls observed after 2.7 year

Abstract:
The Sicamous Creek Project was established as part of the British Columbia Provincial Silvicultural Systems program in 1990 to investigate the effects of clearcutting and other practices on a high elevation forested ecosystem. The objective is to provide the forestry community with information on the ecology of high elevation forests in the Southern Interior, and the probable responses to a wide range of disturbance. After a period of planning by a team of scientists and foresters from several agencies, a site in subalpine fir-Engelmann spruce forest at 1530 m to 1830 m elevation near the town

Abstract:
We examine the role of interdisciplinary research projects in providing information to forest managers about complex and long-term responses by forest ecosystems to managed and natural disturbances. Traditional research approaches focus on identifying issues, implementing the appropriate experimental design, conducting the work and disseminating information through peer-reviewed articles or internal manuscripts. Such independent studies can provide information about a specific issue, but do not necessarily consider long-term impacts or effects on multiple resources. Interdisciplinary research

Abstract:
We examined the potential of natural regeneration for stocking 1-ha patch cuts in high-elevation Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii Parry) – subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa (Hook.) Nutt.) forests. Using the Sicamous Creek Silvicultural Systems site, which was harvested during winter 1994–1995, we established 1-m2 plots in patch cuts, forest edge, and untreated control forest. We marked and recorded microsite characteristics for all advanced regeneration and new recruits for up to 5 years; over 12 000 individuals were included. Advanced regeneration was abundant and was about one-quarter spruc

We also examined edge effects and conditions predisposing trees to windthrow. Windthrow of subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa (Hook.) Nutt.) in the 2.7 years following harvesting increased from 0.6% of basal area per year in uncut forest to 0.8-1.8% per year in harvested treatments, with highest rates in individual tree selection units

The purpose of this study, carried out at the Sicamous Creek Silvicultural Systems Trial located in the southern Interior of British Columbia, was to investigate the effects of cut block size and distance from the forest edge on patterns of ectomycorrhizal colonization and diversity at a subalpine forest. Non-mycorrhizal Picea engelmannii Parry ex Engelm. × Picea glauca (Moench) Voss seedlings were planted across cut blocks of three sizes (0.1, 1.0, and 10 ha) and in the uncut forest. In 1996 and 1997, seedlings were harvested after 13 weeks and examined for mycorrhizae. In 1996, diversity and

Abstract:
The Sicamous Creek silviculture systems trial, which is located at a subalpine forest, comprises five replicated treatments. One-third of the timber volume was removed from 30-ha treatment units using cutblocks of 0.1, 1.0, or 10 ha or single-tree selection. Openings were mechanically site prepared by mounding and planted with nursery-grown containerized Picea engelmannii Parry ex Engelm. seedlings. Seedlings were planted in mineral soil exposed by mounding in all four of the harvested treatments as well as in undisturbed soil in the uncut control treatment. Neither the overall ectomycorrhiza

Abstract:
Mycorrhizae are symbiotic associations that improve plant nutrition in the competitive biological communities that inhabit forest soils. The goal of this research was to determine if cutblock size and distance from the standing timber has any effect on the diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi available for colonization of outplanted seedlings. During the winter of 1994�95, the Sicamous Creek Silvicultural Systems Study (Engelmann Spruce-Subalpine Fir Wet-Cold Biogeoclimatic Variant) was harvested. Four treatments were sampled in this study: no harvesting, 0.1-ha, 1-ha and 10-ha cutblocks. In the

Abstract:
Carabid beetles (Order Coleoptera, Family Carabidae) are an important part of forest diversity and play a role in assessing forest health. This study is an important advancement in the study of carabid beetles in the environment as it is the first to continuously sample a population in pre-treatment and post-treatment states. Changes within the carabid assemblage were monitored as different harvesting regimes were applied. The five treatments examined were: 10, 1.0, and 0.1 hectare clearcuts, 25% Individual Tree Selection (I.T.S.) and controls (uncut). Results showed that species richne
