The proposed project is designed to maintain and increase competitiveness of the Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) forest industry by making better use of wood and fibre resources. Specifically, we aim to develop new inventory tools and methods for modeling and mapping forest attributes linked to fibre properties and to integrate map products with forest management and utilizations processes to support decisions regarding optimal use of the fibre resource in NL. The proposal is a university, industryy, and government partnership of the Université de Sherbrooke and Sir Wilfred Grenfell College, Memorial University of Newfoundland (SWGC), FPInnovations (Paprican Division), Canadian Wood Fibre Centre, Canadian Forest Service, Natural Resources Canada (CWFC), Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources (NLDNR), Corner Brook Pulp and Paper Limited (CBPP). Building on an existing Atlantic Innovation F1l1ld Initiative of CBPP, the proposed project has four main objectives aimed toward optimization of the use of wood and fibre resources in NL. Specific objectives are: (1) to model relationships between measured forest attributes and fibre properties; (2) to develop new inventory tools to measure forest attributes related to fibre properties; (3) to map fibre properties across landscapes, and (4) to integrate fibre map products into forest management systems. Knowing where specific fibre properties may be found and improving on existing inventory tools will support concretely better use of the wood and fibre resources which will help to maintain and increase the competitiveness of Newfoundland's forest industry. In addition, the project will further support capacity building initiatives and the development of a graduate student program at SWGC through a concerted effort toward training of undergraduate and graduate students and scientific expertise brought to the project from Université de Sherbrooke researchers.

拟议的项目旨在通过更好地利用木材和纤维资源来保持和提高纽芬兰和拉布拉多（NL）林业的竞争力。具体来说，我们的目标是开发新的库存工具和方法，用于建模和绘制与纤维属性相关的森林属性，并将地图产品与森林管理和利用过程相结合，以支持有关NL纤维资源最佳利用的决策。该提案是舍布鲁克大学和威尔弗雷德·格伦费尔爵士学院、纽芬兰纪念大学（SWGC）、FPInnovations （Paprican分部）、加拿大木材纤维中心、加拿大林业局、加拿大自然资源部（CWFC）、纽芬兰和拉布拉多自然资源部（NLDNR）、Corner Brook Pulp and Paper Limited （CBPP）的大学、行业和政府合作伙伴关系。在CBPP现有的大西洋创新f11倡议的基础上，拟议的项目有四个主要目标，旨在优化NL木材和纤维资源的使用。具体目标是：(1)建立测量森林属性和纤维属性之间的关系模型；(2)开发新的库存工具来测量与纤维特性相关的森林属性；(3)绘制跨景观的纤维属性图；(4)将纤维地图产品整合到森林管理系统中。了解在哪里可以找到特定的纤维特性并改进现有的库存工具将具体地支持更好地利用木材和纤维资源，这将有助于保持和提高纽芬兰森林工业的竞争力。此外，该项目将进一步支持SWGC的能力建设倡议和研究生项目的发展，通过协调一致的努力来培训本科生和研究生，并从舍布鲁克大学的研究人员那里获得科学专业知识。
