Post-disturbance forest dynamics on the North Shore of Quebec
Description
-
Characterize the canopy gap regime in the eastern boreal forest and determine the proportion of the territory that is subjected to these dynamics.
-
Describe the natural spatial patterns caused by secondary disturbances at different scales.
-
Develop a typology for forest structure based on natural spatial patterns at various scales that can be readily applied in preparing forest management strategies.
-
Develop a forest management model adapted to regions with a low fire recurrence.
