Abstract
In 2006, when the current spruce budworm (SBW) outbreak began in the boreal forest of the Côte-Nord region, Louis De Grandpré, a research scientist in plant ecology and forest dynamics with the Canadian Forest Service, was already studying the area with his team. Together, they set up a large experimental site consisting of 10 permanent plots ranging between 0.4 and 1 ha and located in stands of fir, spruce, and mixed fir and spruce. De Grandpré wanted to carry out a long-term follow-up study of the effects of the SBW outbreak on the forest ecosystem. He asked himself the following six questions, which led to the discovery of some exciting new knowledge!
