Abstract:
Objectives:
To develop models to examine possible effects of IFM, at multiple scales,
on wildlife species based on literature and expert opinion.
Location:
Northeastern Boreal and Great Lakes-St. Lawrence forest regions
Key Deliverables:
Report- Literature review on IFM and biodiversity; model- Predictive model
to predict IFM effects that are scale-dependent; report- A prediction
of thresholds of IFM that might exist on which to base field studies of
the effects of IFM.
Expected Benefits:
This project will ultimately measure the predicted effects of intensive
forest management on animal species at multiple scales.
Sources of Funding:
A-base, Tembec, OMNR, Ontario's Living Legacy Trust (OLLT)
