We developed a methodology for extending estimates of the presence-absence of trees and several tree species contained in the Canadian National Forest Inventory using nationally consistent Landsat data products. For a prototype boreal forest region of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, we modeled and assessed changes in the presence-absence of tree...

Adaptive management of social-ecological systems requires integration and collaboration among scientists, policy makers, practitioners, and stakeholders across multiple disciplines and organizations. Challenges associated with such integration have been attributed to gaps between how human systems are organized and how ecosystems function. To addre...

Identifying appropriate validation sources for large-area land cover products is a challenge, with logistical constraints frequently necessitating the use of preexisting data sources. Several issues exist when comparing polygon (vector-based) datasets to raster imagery: geolocational mismatches, differences in features or classes mapped, disparity...

EDMONTON, ALBERTA T6H 3S5 In Canada, daily forest fire danger ratings are generated by the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating ostem (CFFDRS), based on estimates of fire weather indices (FWI). To evaluate the potential of NOAA-AVHRR images, an experiment was conducted in 1994 using test sites consisting of jack pine, black spruce and white spruce st...

OUf study presents results acquired over boreal coniferous forests located in the Mackenzie River basin, Northwest Territories, Canada. NOAA-A VHRR optical and thennal infrared images and SAR images from ERS-l and RADARSAT were correlated to the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System (CFFDRS) Fire Weather Index (FWI) codes and indices, which wer...
