Cooperative Management of Historic Research Trials
A long-term collaboration.
Cutblock Inventory Classification Subcommittee
The Cutblock Inventory Classification Subcommittee was initiated in January 2015 to continue the work of the AFGO Strata Subcommittee.
Dynamic Aspen Density Experiment
This is an FGrOW project involving permanent sample plots established between 2007–2015 to examine the ways hardwood (aspen) affect spruce development.
Enhanced Management of Lodgepole Pine
An FGYA initiative.
Establishment of PSP network to monitor stand dynamics and establish yield curves for stands killed by MPB
As a result of significant in-flights of mountain pine beetles coming from British Columbia in 2006 and 2009, as well as subsequent local production, there are widely distributed pine dominated stands throughout Alberta that have been significantly affected by MPB-caused mortality.
Monitoring and decision support for regeneration management in a mountain pine beetle environment
How can forest companies best help stands bounce back from a MPB infestation?
Provincial growth and yield initiative (PGYI)
Better models by sharing data between companies and government.
Regenerated Lodgepole Pine Project
An FGrOW initiative.
Stand dynamics after mountain pine beetle attack
How will a stand respond after MPB infestation, and what can the forestry industry do to help it regenerate?
Strip cut understory protection trial
Protecting understory white spruce during removal of overstory aspen will ensure the utilization and release of advanced spruce growth, which will result in a shortened rotation, reduction of reforestation cost, and eventually an increase of timber production per unit of land.
