On Course
The National Forest Science & Technology Course of Action is a set of priorities for the generation, dissemination, and application of scientific & technical knowledge in seven action areas concentrating on the development of the Canadian Forest Service's capacity in technology transfer, training, communication, and forest management expertise. This publication reviews Canadian Forest Service research as it corresponds to the thematic areas expressed in the Course of Action, highlighting the extent to which the Service's program responds to Canadian forest policy initiatives and forest sector priorities. The thematic areas covered are: a team approach to forest science & technology management; developing methodologies for measuring indicators for sustainable forest management; public participation; forest ecosystems; the forest industry; forest stewardship; and relationships with Aboriginal peoples. For each area, the underlying issue is stated, followed by an overview of research and a selection of current experiments & studies.
Climate Change in the Western and Northern Forests of Canada
This is the report of a workshop held to provide a forum for the exchange of information on both the expected impacts of climate change on Canada's western & northern forests, and potential adaptive strategies. Topics covered in presentations & poster sessions included climate change science and the implications of climate change for environmental, social, & economic values of the forest. Facilitated interactive sessions focussed on knowledge gaps, policy, and institutional barriers to adaptation, followed by suggestions for moving the climate change impacts & adaptation agenda forward in the forest sector.
The Northern Forestry Centre (NoFC) Tree-Ring Lab
Among the many fields of research pursued by Canadian Forest Service (CFS) scientists at Northern Forestry Centre (NoFC) is the field of dendrochronology. Dendrochronology, commonly known as tree-ring analysis, is the scientific study of annual growth rings in trees or wood. This is a fascinating area of study and there are many questions that can be answered in this discipline: How old are our forests? What conditions did they endure during their development and life span, for example, fire, insects, drought? Under a warming climate, are Canada's forests growing faster or slower? CFS researchers have been using tree-ring analysis at the NoFC in Edmonton, Alberta, for several decades. In the past, studies were conducted using microscopes and hand lenses in multiple offices and labs scattered throughout the building. In 2010, under the Accelerated Infrastructure Program, a single modern laboratory was built where all the samples and digital information could be consolidated, housed, and analyzed.
Compendium II
This report contains descriptive summaries of 38 projects under the Applied Research, Technology Development and Transfer, and Decision Support sub-programs, and three Socio-Economic Analysis projects. The projects focus on the forestry/wildlife interface, smaller scale harvesting and silvicultural systems, and forest-based ecotourism opportunities. Each project summary describes the objectives, methodology, expected results, and implications of the research.
Field Guide to the Canadian Forest Fire Behaviour Prediction (FBP) System
The Canadian Forest Fire Behavior Prediction (FBP) system is a systematic method for assessing wildland fire behaviour potential. Presented in tabular format, this guide provides a simplified version of the system and is designed to assist field staff in making approximations of FBP System outputs.
