Trade-off analysis of accuracy and spatial resolution in strategic forest planning models
When large areas of forest are modelled, spatial detail can create excessively large databases and adversely affect the processing time. Spatial generalization can be an efficient means of aggregating polygons into blocks in strategic forest planning models. In this study, a sensitivity analysis on …

A justification of negotiated National Forest planning and the development of a prototype computerized negotiated planning tool based on GIS and simulation techniques
The existing literature regarding the national forest planning process was reviewed and critiqued. This critique was aimed at identifying the planning process that was most likely to produce workable multiple-use national forest management plans without relying on procedures outside the process …

Planning the urban forest to enhance urban resilience
… the IPCC (2014) and the USGCRP (2018) identify afforestation as a key strategy for moderating the effects of extreme heat in urban environments because of trees’ ability to moderate urban temperatures. It is because of the ecosystem services trees provide (e.g., temperature moderation [Dorer et …

Urban Tree Canopy Assessments in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed
… and environmental benefits provided by urban forests. A UTCA uses remote sensing to create a comprehensive spatial snapshot of a locality's land cover, classified at a very fine scale (1 meter or less). Over the past decade, UTCAs have been conducted for numerous localities in the Chesapeake …

An evaluation of stakeholder involvement in the B.C. Ministry of Forests planning process
Disputes over forest land use and forest land management continue despite a formal planning process administered by the Ministry of Forests that is designed to achieve integrated resource use planning on B.C. Crown lands. These disputes result in costly and time-consuming delays in the completion …
