The long-term viability of the Institut québécois development of deciduous forest (IQUAF), in Ripon, is ensured through an investment of $ 2.5 million from the Quebec government.
The outgoing Liberal MP in the riding of Papineau, Norm MacMillan, must make the announcement this week.
Established in 1989, the IQUAF is the only Canadian Forest applied research, development and technology transfer dedicated to the sustainable development of deciduous forest.
The IQUAF now employs a dozen people. His research affect the ecology, forestry and forest management.
Its partnership with the University of Quebec in Ottawa to create a center of excellence in management and forestry Hardwoods to encourage both the development of cutting-edge research and transfer without delay of innovations to the industry.
The collaboration between the two organizations aims to eventually create an institute of sciences temperate deciduous forest.
Even if the forest in the Outaouais is composed of 70% of hardwood, research the IQUAF not limited to our region. His expertise is recognized throughout the country.
Among current projects include among others work on the short-and long-term pruning maintenance of household electric lines, designed by Hydro-Quebec, on the productivity of sap of maple sugar.
In Témiscamingue, his research focused on the role of windfalls on forest dynamics. In Alberta, its expertise was used to assess the impacts of climate change, cutting, fire and oil on the Alberta forest landscape.
Recently, IQUAF completed a study on the regeneration of yellow birch, a forest species most prized by industry. The presence of this species in parts of Quebec is problematic because of its requirements.
