Climate change and other global stressors are increasing disturbance risks across Canadian forests, challenging their ability to sustain wood supply, carbon storage, biodiversity and social values. This FISC Talk will introduce DIVERSE, a pan-Canadian research partnership working across 22 managed-forest landscapes covering more than 20 million hectares, and its use of the Functional Complex Network (FCN) approach as a spatially explicit method for resilience-oriented forest planning.
Engage with Marie-Josee Fortin and explore:
The talk will take place on Friday, 2 October at 10:00 and will be held in the Wood Technology Pavilion, room DP410
We look forward to welcoming you in person or online!

An ecologist by training, Marie-Josée has four main research areas: spatial ecology, disturbance ecology, conservation, and spatial statistics. Her research program studies the effects of global change (land-use and climate) on species spatial dynamics at the landscape and geographical range levels, both in multiuse forested ecosystems and aquatic networks to maintain biodiversity and species conservation.
