Research
A Solution for Every Scale
This research project aims at developing efficient tools to predict
forest productivity at the site, stand and landscape level.
A Town for All Seasons
Sustainable forest management is not just ecological or biological,
but also economic and social.
Carbon Budget, a Model
This study could result in forest management strategies to improve
carbon retention in Canada's forests.
... Down Mexico Way
After its worst-ever forest fire season, Mexico knew it needed a national,
automated fire information system. It also knew who had the experience
to help develop it - the Canadian Forest Service. /I>
Flower Power
CFS research has developed a field-based approach to stimulate flowering
in seed orchards. This produces significant increases in seed production
in these high-investment enterprises.
Fire Danger Rating - A Burning
Issue
Fire management information systems are indispensable in reducing the
more than $1 billion in annual losses in tourism, human habitat, timber
and wildlife caused by forest fire.
HARP-ing on a Gentler Harvest
Following some CFS research in the Lake Abitibi Model Forest, Abitibi-Consolidated
Inc. (ACI), is implementing Harvest with Regeneration Protection (HARP)
over most of its operating area.
History is on Our Site
"This long term impact project will go a long way in helping us
meet certification requirements."
In the Eye of the Beholder
"... the forest industry has to realize that if viewscapes are
logged in a way that offends people, then that's a problem too."
Is a Loon Worth One Buck
With the new tools we are developing to measure non-timber values,
forest managers will be able to make more informed forest management decisions.
It's in the Genes
Why accept 160 m3 per ha when you can get 250 m3
per ha at 25 years?
MASS Appeal
Research into alternative harvesting practices by the CFS and its partners
in B.C.'s montane forest helped demonstrate feasible alternatives to clearcutting.
Putting Research to the Pest
This research will help reduce the 60 million m3 a year fibre loss
to pests by optimizing forest protection against insects.
Send in the Clones
Genetic research on trees promises identical seeds and seedlings with
one or more of the following traits: faster growth; increased fibre; resistance
to insects and disease; better quality wood.
Stand and Deliver
This program provides an ecologically sound tool to solve the density
dilemma for managers of black spruce.
There's More than One Born Every
Day
"Registration of this product will be a significant contribution
toward B.C. Hydro's vegetation management programs."
This Mould is a Pain in the
Grass
This product will give forest managers in Western Canada a biological
alternative for use against fast-growing bluejoint grass that completes
with white spruce seedlings.
Weed Them and Reap
This study could result in positive hemlock regrowth, to the tune of
about $35 million per year.
Where there's smoke - there's
fire research
This program gives wildfire managers a way to quantity fire threats
and react accordingly.
