Long-term studies to support mixedwood management in western Canada | FGrOW Webinar Series #9

Information about the series: https://friresearch.ca/news/fgrow-fal... "Long-term studies to support mixedwood management in western Canada" presented by Phil Comeau and Mike Bokalo Abstract A number of long-term studies have been established in western Canada to contribute to our understanding of the dynamics and growth of mixedwood stands dominated by trembling aspen and white spruce. These studies have been designed to quantifiy effects of stand composition and effects of practices such as precommercial thinning, spot/radial herbicide application, and understory protection harvesting on tree growth and on growth and yield. In this presentation we will review several studies established in association with the Forest Growth Organization of Western Canada (FGrOW), including studies established by the Western Boreal Growth and Yield Association (WESBOGY) and the Mixedwood Management Association of Alberta (MWMA) prior to them becoming part of FGrOW. We will highlight key learnings from these studies dating back over 30 years. Presenter Bios Phil Comeau was Professor of Silviculture and Stand Dynamics at the University of Alberta from 2000 to 2017 and is now Professor Emeritus. Phil has conducted research relating to silviculture and growth and yield in western Canada with a major focus on evaluating and quantifying effects of spot, patch and broadcast treatments in boreal mixedwood stands on tree growth, stand yield, stand structure, biodiversity and drought resilience. Phil has been the chair of the Western Boreal Growth and Yield (WESBOGY) project team since 2003 and has worked on development of several of the component functions used in the current version of the Mixedwood Growth Model (MGM21). He received of the CIF (Canadian Institute of Forestry) Tree of Life Award (Rocky Mountain Section) in 2014 and the CIF Scientific Achievement Award in 2016. Mike Bokalo has been the WESBOGY Research Scientist since 2001, working as a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Alberta. His work has focused on the WESBOGY Long-Term Study, including data management, data analysis and reporting. In addition, Mike has led development of the Mixedwood Growth Model (MGM) since 2005, has supported the use and application of MGM in forest management planning and yield curve development. He has also conducted studies exploring the applications of remote sensing in the measurement of mixedwood stands. Mike taught Forest Measurements from 2007 to 2020 receiving several teaching awards.
