Belated reporting of a grant or contribution award.

a) maintaining and protecting the long-term lodgepole pine research installations; b) re-measurement of plots based on scheduled intervals; and c) analysis of the re-measurement and other related data, and knowledge transfer of the results. Specifically, the Proponent will undertake the following tasks: -Collaborate with Canadian Forest Service-Canadian Wood Fibre Centre (CFS-CWFC) in analysis and interpretation of growth and fibre quality study data. This will include validation of existing models that predict fibre attributes from forest inventory information, and development of new models to extend their applicability to other geographic areas, a wide age class range, and stands under fertilization or density management, and to predict the transition from juvenile to mature wood for a suite of fibre attributes.
