Prince George, BC

In collaboration with the BC Ministry of Forests, I researched how the structure of coastal old growth forests differs after moderate and high severity fires. My thesis is titled, "An analysis of coastal temperate old forest residual carbon, structure and understory plant floristics after wildfire"- Data collection of standard forest plots - measurements.
