Biodiversity is akin to complexity. In this video, we provide a practical definition of biodiversity and describe how forest management may influence patterns of biodiversity. We discuss the relevance of scale (micro-habitat to continental), differences in considerations among regions, and how forest managers must consider and integrate these concepts into short- and long-term decision-making.

I am pleased to share a recent presentation I gave as the guest speaker for the conference Midi-en-Foresterie, as part of the NSERC-UQAT-UQAM Industrial Chair in Sustainable Forest Management at the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue. In the talk entitled “Limited Migration: Will Sugar Maple tap out to Climate Change,” I discuss the influence of seed provenance, climate, and microsite on early seedling recruitment dynamics of sugar maple and how the species is likely to be impacted by climate change.
