On forest resilience to global changes/ sur la résilience des forêts face aux changements globaux

这一加拿大研究主席旨在大幅提高我们设计森林管理做法的能力，以促进森林对全球变化的复原力。它将建立和使用新的高密度多物种树种实验，以研究树种之间的相互作用机制，以及这些机制在森林生态系统对环境压力的功能和恢复能力方面的潜在作用。然后，它将把这种对树木多样性在应对环境压力方面的作用和重要性的更好的理解与空间上明确的林分动态和景观模型以及网络理论和功能多样性方法结合起来，以开发有效的森林培育方法，以促进加拿大和世界各地受管理的森林的复原力。

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 studymechanisms of interaction among tree species and the underlying role of these mechanisms in the functioning and resilience of forest ecosystems to environmentalstressors. 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.
