Research

Biodiversity research involves the disciplines of genetics, taxonomy, and ecology. Our research focuses on:

• defining and measuring the elements of forest biodiversity in terms of genes, species, ecosystems, and landscapes;
• identifying and assessing the impacts of human activity (including climate change) and natural catastrophes on biodiversity in Canada's forests;
• determining what constitutes effective conservation of forest biodiversity; and
• identifying and monitoring invasive alien forest pests and protecting species and ecosystems at risk.
