Abstract:
Objectives:
To reactivate and remeasure permanent sample plots in the Spruce Falls
(up to 184 plots) and American Can (up to 185 plots) licence areas that
were established in the 1950-1970 period. Emphasis will be on those containing
Intensive Forest Management treatments and identify gaps in treatments.
To digitize past records on plots and make available for inclusion in
statistical analysis.
Location:
Northeastern Ontario
Key Deliverables:
Extension of a ground-based plot network for monitoring and measuring
treatment response. Reactivation and remeasurement of existing plots and
experimental (management) trials (e.g. fertilization, girdling, thinning,
spacing)
Expected Benefits:
The data collected during this project will assist in building the benchmark
yield curves and Growth and Yield Stand Density Management Models and
Decision Support Systems within an adaptive management framework.
Sources of Funding:
CFS, OMNR, Tembec, Inc., Ontario's Living Legacy Trust (OLLT)
Cooperators:
Peter Newton, Canadian Forest Service, John Parton, Ontario Ministry of
Natural Resources
Nature of Cooperation:
Maintenance of high standards in plot data gathering as well as providing
staff to locate and measure the plots.
