Abstract:
Objectives:
Participate in the forestry working group as the CFS representative for
the Grand River Watershed to look at methods to address issues such as
forest fragmentation, loss of biodiversity in the southern mixedwood and
Carolinian Forest; to provide a scientific foundation which will allow
for assessment of the status of butternut and the reassessment of the
status of American chestnut in Canada forests. This will be accomplished
by documenting butternut and American chestnut populations. Site information
such as reproductive status, prevalence of disease, etc. will be collected
and developed into a data base that will allow for subsequent monitoring
of the status of these species.
Location:
Southern Ontario
Key Deliverables:
Journal Article- Vegetation Storage Protein induction by exposure to methyl
jasmonate; reports- Forestry plan for the GRCA watershed; status of research
on American Chestnut in Canada
Expected Benefits:
Sources of Funding:
Biodiversity and Forest Health Network
Other Collaborators:
Barb Boysen, Forest Gene Conservation Authority, University of Guelph
Nature of Other Collaborators' Involvement:
Coordination of field sampling, provide technical assistance with the
collection of field data.
