Identifying and Assessing the Yield Implications of Forest Canopy Gaps in Forest Management Using Full Feature LiDAR
DownloadSpring 2015
Gaps in the forest canopy are common in boreal aspen, spruce and mixedwood stands and can negatively affect forest volume. Data from four Alberta Vegetation Inventory (AVI) polygons, two aspen (Populus tremuloides) and two white spruce (Picea glauca), were analysed to determine how forest volume...

Predicting forest productivity using Wet Areas Mapping and other remote sensed environmental data
DownloadFall 2016
Understanding variability in forest productivity is important to sustainable forest management. The main objective of this thesis was to evaluate efficient and cost-effective ways to predict potential forest productivity (Site Index) using ecological site data obtained from either ground-based...
