• NEW! Modelled Potential Species Distribution for Current and Projected Future Climates for the Acadian Forest Region of Nova Scotia (January 2010)
  In 2007 research was undertaken into potential impacts of climate change on forest site conditions that influence tree species distributions in Nova Scotia. The Research was lead by University of New Brunswick professor, Dr. Charles Bourque. Using growing degree days and soil water content in combination with a 'middle-of-the-road' climate change scenario (ISA92a), twelve native species were assessed for changes to their potential distribution, projected in 30-year time slices to the year 2100.
  



• Implementing Ecosystem-based Integrated Resource Manangement in Nova Scotia
  A systematic approach to ecosystem based intergrated resource management has evolved to include ecological planning tools, forest modelling, policy, and regulations.
