“…Smaller openings might be the outcome of individual limb fall or the death of single trees [8]. In all cases, open areas can experience markedly different biotic and abiotic conditions, including a locally increased supply of photosynthetically active radiation (e.g., sunflecks) [9,10]. If left undisturbed, these openings constitute ecologically important patches of pronounced tree recruitment and plant growth.…”

“…Boreal forests are no exception to the worldwide trend of forest fragmentation, being subject to anthropogenic disturbances associated with resource extraction activities [8]. Although boreal forests are depauperate in biodiversity compared to other forest biomes [7], these forests represent one third of the worldwide forest cover and carbon stocks [9].…”

“…They also sustain a number of charismatic and/or threatened species, such as woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) and grizzly bear (Ursus arctos), while providing natural resources of primary interest to human societies [9]. Natural resource extraction of Canada's boreal forest includes forestry and energy extraction, with Alberta's forests being one of the most developed in Canada [8]. One major source of local forest fragmentation is the extraction of bitumen from the oil sands.…”
