Comment les espèces répondent-elles aux changements dans l'habitat, et peut-on utiliser leurs réponses pour établir des cibles fiables en matière de gestion? La recherche de la stagiaire vise à déterminer si les oiseaux forestiers répondent de façon non linéaire à la perte de l'habitat forestier attribuable à l'exploitation forestière. Par exemple, les modèles théoriques indiquent […]

How do species respond to changes in habitat, and can their responses be used to set reliable management targets? The intern’s research is focused on determining whether forest birds respond non-linearly to the loss of forest habitat due to logging. For example, theoretical models show that the probability of finding forest birds within a given […]

The objectives are to determine to what extent a carbon strategy can add to the value of a publicly held Canadian forest products firm, what form that would take, and what conditions would be required to implement. The project will begin with an environmental scan of economic, technological, political]legal, and societal trends that are occurring […]

This project aims to provide real-world, verifiable estimates of impacts to watersheds from usage of back-country logging and resource roads. fRI in partnership with the University of Alberta, MiTACS and Canfor is testing computer-based tools developed in the United States to apply them to watersheds in Alberta. Given the different geography, soil types, and relief […]
