Groupe de recherche de la MRC d'Abitibi - GREMA

Fungi were awarded the "Coup de coeur" prize during the second annual @GREMAUQAT conference photo contest! 🍄 📸"Emergence of a little flame", Tricholomopsis flammula, research station of the Lake Duparquet Research and Teaching Forest (FERLD), 2022 #NaturePhotography

📢 Master's thesis published in AFM! This publication sheds light on the complex relationship between climate and forest disturbances in the Canadian boreal forest. @Boreal_Spanish @philmrchnd @GREMAUQAT @IRFUQAT @chaireAFD @CEF_CFR @UQAT sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I'm still glad for having briefly presented my thesis last week at the annual colloqium of the @GREMAUQAT. Special acknowledgments to the organizing committee for giving me the perseverance award! #dendrochronology #carbonsequestration #rootgrafting #windthrow

#Biodiversity loss and altered #DisturbanceRegimes are challenges that boreal forests may eventually face. 🌡️ Chap. 31 addresses these challenges and their implications for ecosystem-based forest managment. link.springer.com/chapter/10.100… ✏️@Boreal_Spanish & @GauthierSylvie9

Last week, two #GREMA master's students presented their posters at #CarrefourForêts in Quebec City! 🌲 Congratulations to Amélie Bergeron, who won the public choice prize, worth $500, offered by the @mrnfqc ! Check out the winning poster here: researchgate.net/publication/37…

Decades of climate warming is expected to measurably alter boreal ecosystems. 🔥 Chap. 30 documents the impacts of climate change on boreal ecosystems, focusing on range shifts as well as stand growth and death. link.springer.com/chapter/10.100… ✏️Loïc D'Orangeville & Malcolm Itter

#Forested and #Aquatic environments are often treated as separate ecosystems, though they’re closely connected! 🐟 Chap. 29 highlights the need to include aquatic environments in the management of boreal forests! link.springer.com/chapter/10.100… ✏️@BraboisGui & Paul del Giorgio

In recent decades, forest scientists have begun applying network theory to ecosystem management. 🏞️ Chap. 28 highlights the potential of network analysis for developing strategies that promote forest resilience. link.springer.com/chapter/10.100… ✏️Élise Filotas & Marie-Josée Fortin

Remote sensing could help forest operations be consistent with #ClimateChange adaptation goals 📍 Chap. 27 documents remote sensing at the local scale to successfully plan and conduct forest operations. link.springer.com/chapter/10.100… ✏️ Udayalakshmi Vepakomma & Bruce Talbot

Quantifying forests’ condition at the landscape scale is critical to management. 📏 Chap. 26 explores the use of #RemoteSensing data to extrapolate models derived from field data and observe large-scale changes. link.springer.com/chapter/10.100… ✏️Richard Massey & Udayalakshmi Vepakomma

The response, or lack thereof, of forest managers to #ClimateChange has broad ramifications! 😯 Chap. 25 discusses management scenarios for a range of ecosystem services provided by boreal forests link.springer.com/chapter/10.100… ✏️ Anouschka R. Hof & Matthew J. Duveneck
