NRC Research Press is a division of Canadian Science Publishing - a not-for-profit publisher
The NRC Research Press journals are Canadian Science Publishing’s flagship suite of award-winning international publications. We publish 20 titles under this imprint, many in continuous publication since 1929.
The journals cover a broad range of scientific disciplines and feature more than 2000 articles each year published on a state-of-the-art electronic platform. These award-winning, high-impact scientific and technical journals have an international readership in more than 175 countries.
In September 2010, the Press transitioned out of the National Research Council of Canada into an independent not-for-profit organization operating under the name Canadian Science Publishing. The new company retained its highly skilled staff and its editorial team comprising some of the world’s leading researchers, and today continues a long tradition of quality and innovation.
Canadian Science Publishing is an independent, not-for-profit scholarly publisher dedicated to serving the needs of researchers and their communities.Visit the Canadian Science Publishing website for more information about our organization, publishing services, support for societies, and other initiatives.

Displaying 16 - 20 of 27Reforestation and slope-position effects on nitrogen, phosphorus pools, and carbon stability of various soil aggregates in a red soil hilly land of subtropical China
The impact of slope position on forest restoration processes may dominate the interaction among topsoil aggregates, nutrients, and organic carbon (C) stability following reforestation on degraded hilly land. Six paired plots of shrubland and Masson pine (Pinus massoniana Lamb.) plantation reforested on shrubland were selected at different positions along a 25° slope in subtropical China. Soil and ecosystem nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and organic C stocks were quantified using a combination of excavation, harvest, and modeling methods.
Forest forecasting with vegetation models across Russia1
Vegetation models are essential tools for projecting large-scale land-cover response to changing climate, which is expected to alter the distribution of biomes and individual species. A large-scale bioclimatic envelope model (RuBCliM) and an individual species based gap model (UVAFME) are used to simulate the Russian forests under current and future climate for two greenhouse gas emissions scenarios. Results for current conditions are compared between models and assessed against two independent maps of Russian forest biomes and dominant tree species.
Assessing the influence of forest ownership type and location on roundwood utilization at the stump and top in a region with small-diameter markets
Research conducted in a variety of hardwood regions across the United States has indicated that utilization of small-diameter roundwood is hindered by a lack of markets. Efficient removal of such material could enable silvicultural practices to improve stand conditions and economic return for landowners. However, evidence from other studies has suggested that markets alone may not be enough to encourage small-diameter utilization, and that management decisions are important as well.
Projected US timber and primary forest product market impacts of climate change mitigation through timber set-asides
Whereas climate change mitigation involving payments to forest landowners for accumulating carbon on their land may increase carbon stored in forests, it will also affect timber supply and prices. This study estimated the effect on US timber and primary forest product markets of hypothetical timber set-aside scenarios where US forest landowners would be paid to forego timber harvests for 100 years to increase carbon storage on US timberland.
Spatial variability of evapotranspiration of old-growth cypress forest using remote sensing â a case study of Chilan Mountain cypress forest in Taiwan
The Chilan Mountain cypress forest, northeastern Taiwan, is the only one where the genus Chamaecyparis is situated in a subtropical region. The health of a forest ecosystem is closely tied to the evapotranspiration (ET) of water through forests. This study focused on estimating the ET of old-growth cypress in the Chilan Mountain area and investigated its spatial variability in different watershed divisions using remote sensing.
