Description

Describes progress made towards achieving the commitments made by Alberta-Pacific Forest Industries Inc. (Al-Pac) in the 2015 Forest Management Plan (FMP), which was approved by the Alberta government on May 17, 2018. The stewardship report explains each of the 36 targets that Al-Pac has committed to in the FMP. It summarizes Al-Pac’s success at meeting its commitments on a target-by-target basis, and provides rationale for not meeting a specific target.

Description

The Economics and Competitiveness Branch of Agriculture and Forestry collects cost of production information annually from Alberta producers and uses this information to generate cropping benchmarks for the major soil zones of Alberta. Annual benchmark reports enable producers to compare their productive, economic and financial performance to similar farming operations locally and provincially. This report contains cost and return information, and farm level financial performance for the Peace Region (thin black soil zone). Please note: Peace Region reports for the 2016 and 2018 crop seasons are being revised. The reports will be re-posted shortly.

Expanded individual tree diameter prediction models from tree height and other variables

Description

Based on the nonlinear least squares method and nonlinear mixed-effects modeling technique, provincial and subregion-specific tree diameter prediction models were developed for major Alberta tree... More ≫

Description

Based on the nonlinear least squares method and nonlinear mixed-effects modeling technique, provincial and subregion-specific tree diameter prediction models were developed for major Alberta tree species. These models predict individual tree diameters at breast height from tree heights (varies by report). They can be used at both the population and plot-specific levels with varying degrees of accuracy. Different procedures for making the predictions under different circumstances are presented. Examples of model application are demonstrated based on real data.
