Extending Canadian forest disturbance history maps prior to 1985 Open
An accurate depiction of wildfire, harvesting, and insect outbreak disturbances is essential for sustainable ecosystem management of forests in Canada. Even though the advent of temporally consistent 30‐m resolution Landsat data has enable…

A new approach for spatializing the Canadian National Forest Inventory (SCANFI) using Landsat dense time series Open
Accurate and fine-scale forest data are essential to improve natural resource management, particularly in the face of climate change. Here, we present SCANFI, the Spatialized CAnadian National Forest Inventory, which provides coherent, 30 …

Automating lichen monitoring in ecological studies using instance segmentation of time-lapse images Open
Lichens are symbiotic organisms composed of fungi, algae, and/or cyanobacteria that thrive in a variety of environments. They play important roles in carbon and nitrogen cycling, and contribute directly and indirectly to biodiversity. Ecol…

Disentangling the effect of drought on stand mortality and productivity in northern temperate and boreal forests Open
It has recently been reported that changing precipitation patterns increase tree mortality and reduce biomass accumulation in northern temperate and boreal forests. Functional diversity can mitigate the impacts of climate extremes in diffe…
