We are using Integrated Landscape Management Models to explore alternative scenarios that might provide viable alternatives to better manage future risks to economic and ecological sustainability. We are developing and applying such models at three spatial scales ranging from Forest Management Areas (up to 50,000 km2), to regional plans (100,000 km2) to province-wide strategies.

We are linking our Invasive Species Research to these models by by representing the ecological impacts of invaders on woodland caribou and forest birds. Learn more....
