This Canada Research Chair (CRC) aims at substantially increasing our capacity to *design forest management practices to promote forest resilience to global changes. It *will establish and use novel high-density multi-species tree experiments to study*mechanisms of interaction among tree species and the underlying role of these *mechanisms in the functioning and resilience of forest ecosystems to environmental*stressors. It will then integrate this better understanding of the role and importance *of tree diversity in coping with environmental stressors with spatially-explicit stand *dynamic and landscape models and network theory and functional diversity approaches to *develop efficient sylvicultural approaches to promote forest resilience to managed *forests of Canada and worldwide.
