An assessment of the utility of an unmanned aerial vehicle for measuring tree heights in a jack pine provenance trial
(2020)This independent study is an assessment of the utility of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for measuring the heights of jack pine (Pinus banksiana) trees in a provenance trial. An electronic hypsometer, the Haglöf Vertex ... -
Classification of red pine stands using remote sensing techniques
(2019)Red pine is a historically important species for forestry in the boreal forest. Its large diameter and straight and knot free form has made it ideal for many purposes, including construction. With the new sudden turn towards ... -
The estimation of boreal forest properties using spectral indices
(2018)The field of forestry has evolved to meet several objectives, including timber and other forest product production, tourism and recreation, habitat and wildlife management and climate change monitoring. As the field ... -
Evaluating the application of LiDAR to measure wildland fire depth of burn In the Canadian boreal forest.
(2024)This study evaluates the accuracy of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology in measuring the depth of burn (DoB) resulting from wildland fires in the Canadian boreal forest. An analysis of the correlation between ... -
A geospatial analysis and comparison of snow leopard and mountain lion habitat: implications for conservations and research
(2022)Big cats form an integral part of landscape ecosystem management and are vital to the persistence of natural habitats. Global change, alongside human interactions has severely harmed populations of these predators, often ... -
Lichen detectability under varying canopy closure
(2019)Monitoring lichen distribution is of increasing concern as mapping is critical in characterizing habitat for woodland caribou. Aerial photography collected using drones, the method used for this study, is a common method ... -
Technologies for silviculture activities: understanding of the practicality of GIS and remote sensing, smartphone, and UAV Lidar
(2020)This thesis explores the technologies apply in silviculture activities. Silvicultural activities are an essential process in forest management. To meet management objectives, the forester requires to collect any data, ... -
Using trail camera imagery to develop a habitat suitability index (HSI) For moose (Alces alces) In the English River Forest, ON
(2019)Moose are a valuable economic and ecological resource in Ontario. Understanding their spatial distribution throughout the forest is essential for managing populations and preserving habitat. One method of identifying the ...
