Webinar Series on Data Science for Environmental Sciences (DSES)*.
Our next webinar will be on *January 27*, at *11 am Central Time* (attached
flyer).
You can virtually access the webinar and register via our website:

*Speaker:* *Marie-Josee Fortin*, University of Toronto.
*Title:* *Combining network theory and tree functional traits to improve
forest resilience to global change*
*Abstract:* To manage forests as complex adaptive systems, approaches based
on resilience, functional diversity, assisted migration, and multi-species
plantations can be used. We propose a novel approach to integrate the
functionality of species-traits into a functional complex network approach
as a flexible and multi-scale way to manage forests for the Anthropocene.
This approach takes into consideration the high level of uncertainty
associated with future environmental and societal changes. It relies on the
quantification and dynamic monitoring of functional diversity and complex
network indices to manage forests as a functional complex network. Using
this novel approach, the most efficient forest management and silvicultural
practices can be determined, as well as at what scale and at what intensity
landscape-scale resistance, resilience, and adaptive capacity of forests to
global changes can be improved.
*Bio:* Marie-Josee is a Canada Research Chair in Spatial Ecology. An
ecologist by training, Marie-Josée has four main research areas: spatial
ecology, disturbance ecology, conservation, and spatial statistics. Her
research program studies the effects of global change (land-use and
climate) on species spatial dynamics at the landscape and geographical
range levels both in multiuse forested ecosystems and aquatic networks to
maintain biodiversity and species conservation.
Hope to see you all there!
