Norway spruce natural regeneration: no sign of invasion. This forestry research report, prepared by Marie-Josée Mottet and colleagues of the Quebec Ministry of Natural Resources and Wildlife, describes a field study the spread of natural seedlings of the introduced species Norway spruce from 30- to 80-year-old plantations, and found that the incidence of natural regeneration decreased rapidly beyond the boundaries of the plantations. The report, in French with an abstract in English, will be of interest to those investigating similar issues with introduced hybrid poplars.

Purpose-grown Woody Biomass Crops: state of knowledge. This report, prepared for the Saskatchewan Forest Centre by Cees van Oosten, SilviConsult Woody Crops Technology Inc., is a review of the state of knowledge of purpose-grown woody biomass crops from the perspective of species preference, crop density, crop cycle and yield. The review only considers willow (Salix spp.) and poplar (Populus spp.), as these are the two woody species of greatest potential for Canada and in particular for the Prairie Region.

Also available is a Glossary of Terminology for poplar genomics, genetics and utilization.

Afforestation fact sheets. A series of information leaflets - in English and French - regarding afforestation in the Prairie Provinces produced by the Canadian Forest Service, Natural Resources Canada.
