Abstract:
Objectives:
To apply and extend principles of experimental design, statistical analysis,
modeling and inference to a wide range of silvicultural projects, contributing
to the corporate target outcome of providing tools and strategies for
enhanced timber production and protection.
Location:
Sault Ste. Marie and North Bay Districts
Key Deliverables:
Journal articles on modeling conifer biomass production following five
stand tending measures in the boreal forest (lead W. Bell); and, modeling
the incidence and severity of white pine blister rust in Ontario (lead
T. Meyer). Modification of large-scale photosampling software to be used
as a pilot inventory of remote forested areas (lead D. Pitt).
Expected Benefits:
Reduction in cost of remote forest resource inventory; better tools to
assess forest vegetation management costs and white pine blister rust
losses.
Sources of Funding:
Enhanced Timber Production and Protection Network; Knowledge and Information
Synthesis Network, Ontario Living Legacy Trust (OLLT), OMNR; Tembec Inc.

Resources, Ontario Forest Research Institute
Nature of Other Collaborators' Involvement:
