Title Multi-cohort Stand Structural Classification: Ground and LiDAR-based Approaches for Boreal Mixedwood and Black Spruce Forest Types of Northeastern Ontario

Excerpt Natural fire return intervals are relatively long in eastern Canadian boreal forests and often allow for the development of stands with multiple, successive cohorts of trees. Multi-cohort forest management (MCM) provides a strategy to maintain such multi-cohort stands that focuses on three broad phases of increasingly complex, post-fire stand development, termed “cohorts”, and recommends different […]

Nevertheless, many processes influencing its spatio-temporal distribution are still poorly understood, mainly due to the lack of adequate observations. One such region is the Middle East, where ozone measurements are scant. In this study, the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model is used to interpret newly […]
