The Regional Curve Standardization (RCS) is one of the most employed methods to remove biological signals in long tree ring chronologies used in climate reconstructions. The approach assumes than an overall age-related growth trend...
The objective of this thesis was to perform dendroecologic and dendroclimtic analyses of large stocks of sub fossil trunks in lakes of the north american taiga. We have reconstructed the climatic trends of the last...
Forest managers are turning more and more towards practices respecting the natural variability of ecosystems, and to the maintenance of ecological processes. It is therefore necessary to understand how human activities have impacted forested landscapes. The...
The objective of this projet was to understand how successive fires overlap in the fire-prone, northern Québec taiga. We tested the widespread but poorly documented idea that new fires occur independently of time since previous fire because fire activity...
A better understanding of pre-industrial forests could guide sustainable development objectives and helps maintain forest biodiversity. The objective of this research was to describe the composition of the pre-industrial forest in the Lower St....
