  • Notes: This second paper in the series on contemporary issues in Québec’s temperate forest summarizes the major impacts of biological invasions on the forest and considers other potential impacts that may occur in the coming decades. It also addresses the main issues associated with these invasions in both managed and unmanaged forests. The goal is to identify those invasions that cause mortality of mature indigenous tree species or constitute major obstacles to their natural regeneration.
