Description

Understanding the impacts of climate and CO2 on forest growth has become increasingly important and necessary for sustainable forest management in Alberta and elsewhere. This technical/scientific document describes and demonstrates the fundamental concepts and methodologies associated with developing climate and CO2 sensitive models. It can help practitioners and decision-makers to better understand, adapt and devise strategies to respond to the occurring and predicted changes due to climate and CO2.

Description

Two critical questions often arise in forest management pertaining to the accuracy and suitability of any new forest inventory technique at the tree or stand level: how can we judge whether a new inventory technique is valid or of acceptable accuracy; and how can we compare if a new inventory technique agrees with or is better than an existing one. This technical document describes the procedures and the statistical methods that collectively provide the tools to address and answer these questions.
