Climate Change

Research in this area focuses on

• determining and assessing the sensitivity of Canadian forests to climate change;
• determining and assessing the contribution of Canadian forests and their management to the carbon cycle; and
• understanding, predicting, and assessing changes in ecosystem functioning and changes in disturbance regimes related to fire, insects, and diseases (this involves the ability to identify the rate, magnitude, and location of possible impacts).
