Biodiversity

Research in this area focuses on
  • defining and measuring the elements of forest biodiversity in terms of genes, species, ecosystems, and landscapes;
  • identifying and assessing the impacts of human activity (including climate change) and natural catastrophes on biodiversity in Canada's forests;
  • determining what constitutes effective conservation of forest biodiversity; and
  • identifying and monitoring invasive alien forest pests and protecting species and ecosystems at risk.

Biodiversity research involves the disciplines of genetics, taxonomy, and ecology.
