Broadleaves and mixedwoods
are a significant part of B.C.'s forested ecosystems, offering shelter and
forage for many wildlife species and contributing to the overall
biodiversity of this unique province. In addition, they are a renewable
resource that provides employment opportunities now and in the future. Our
research concentrates on interactions between various broadleaf tree species
and the surrounding vegetation. Information from these studies will improve
our knowledge of the dynamics of different broadleaf and mixedwood forest
types, and help forest managers make informed decisions that ensure
long-term sustainability of this resource.
