Abstract:
Objectives:
To determine the role that mature and old forests, dominated by white
pine play in the breeding of red crossbills at an eastern continental
level by GIS mapping of selected study areas, verifying historical forest
reconstruction work, constructing an energetics model, assessing breeding
by stand size, age and forest type; and, to assess the potential use of
red crossbills as indicators of old growth pine forests.
Location:
Northern Ontario
Key Deliverables:
Journal articles- Red crossbills as indicators of white pine ecosystems;
stand characteristics favoured by red crossbills; energetics model for
crossbill breeding; an evaluation of the capability of forest history
studies based on surveyors' notes.
Expected Benefits:
