Abstract:
Objectives:
To assess reliability of forest health data through training staff and
cross checking plots; to develop a cooperative program of data sharing
to acquire forest health information from provincial plots; to develop
a database of OMNR and MOE forest health plot locations and data in Ontario;
to assess ash and maple decline in Ontario; to assist in ARNEWS transect
study; to produce and Ontario forest health report and contribute to the
CFS national report and related assessments; co-author book chapter on
role of insects and diseases of forest change; assist in ozone monitoring
in Ontario.
Location:
Across Ontario
Key Deliverables:
Journal Article- A survey to evaluate crown condition survey of maple
trees in Ontario, 1987-1995. Reports- Ontario Forest Health; Pest disturbance
regimes in Ontario's forest. Database of forest health information in
Ontario from CFS and OMNR sources. Listings and relevant data related
to forest health monitoring in Ontario. Plot locations, contacts and data
set summaries.
Expected Benefits:
Sources of Funding:
Biodiversity and Forest Health Network.
Other Collaborators:
Harri Liljalehto, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment Canada
Nature of Other Collaborators' Involvement:
Funding for term position to develop forest health database, $12,000 contribution
to fund term position for development of Ontario forest health database.
