Summary

The boreal region in Canada contains a quarter of the world's remaining frontier forest, of which the majority is unprotected and publicly owned. This offers Canada an unprecedented conservation opportunity. The establishment of new reserves, designed to function as ecological benchmarks, could contribute to conservation of the boreal forest, and support more sustainable economic development by enabling adaptive resource management. I developed quantitative methods for identifying ecological benchmarks in the Canadian boreal forest that met ecologically-based size and connectivity requirements, as well as minimum intactness criteria. This involved (1) approximating the size required for ecological benchmarks to incorporate regionally-calibrated [...]
