Abstract:
Objectives:
Provide infrastructure management and baseline information for the Project;
conduct 5th year inventory of PSPs; reestablish and remeasure extant regeneration
plots; photograph stand condition; maintain climatic data.
Location:
Northwestern Ontario
Key Deliverables:
Three posters, and a Departmental Report - Establishment Report: The Black
Sturgeon Boreal Mixedwood Research Project
Expected Benefits:
A better understanding of boreal mixedwoods and the impact of harvesting
on the ecosystem.
Sources of Funding:
Enhanced Timber Production and Protection Network
Cooperators:
