Objective

To provide a spatially and temporally explicit projection of the current MPB outbreak at a provincial scale. The purpose of providing the projection was to give senior managers and scientists information, at a provincial scale, which could be used in their decision-making processes.

Preparation

Processing of spatial information

Models Built

Spatial timber supply model
Ecological indicator models
