Purpose
This project is an extension of the Silva21 Alliance project, which aims to provide tools and practical solutions to adapt forest management practices and improve both resistance to stressors and resilience to disturbance in Canadian forests. The project framework involves a series of three themes i.e. 'Observe', 'Anticipate', 'Adapt'. In ‘Observe’, space-based data is used to develop innovative forest monitoring approaches to assess forest disturbance, tree growth and forest vigour. This project provides a unique opportunity to combine key forestry needs for the Canadian industry with high-tech, space-based, solutions provided by the Canadian Space Agency to ensure that forestry in Canada remains a critical resource both for Gross Domestic Product as well as a natural climate solution to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
