The 2024 issue of The Edge summarizes the following key findings:
Plan
- A better understanding of passive recovery trajectories will help guide restoration planning
- LiDAR is a powerful planning tool
- Seismic lines alter carbon dynamics in boreal peatlands
- Seismic lines create browse subsidies for ungulates in certain ecosites
- Additional disturbances can ‘erase’ seismic lines in some ecosite types
- Context matters: fragmentation analysis can greatly increase restoration efficiency
Implement
- Inverted mounds promote tree growth, but emerging techniques provide opportunities for continual improvement
Monitor
- Species communities shift as linear feature widths increase
- Some birds adapt their vocalization patterns to deal with industrial noise
- LiDAR and Landsat data together provide a better way to predict bird responses to harvest
- Artificial Intelligence is changing the way we detect and measure seedlings
