Using a historical disturbance to reconstruct forests of the past and restore ecosystems of the future: the log drive

FY 2022-23 · 2022-04-29

Summary
This contribution supports research to better understand the effect of log driving and the massive accumulation of woody material in slow-moving environments such as lakes. Aquatic environments in several regions of Quebec, including Abitibi-Témiscamingue and Mauricie, have been impacted by log driving for nearly a century. However, the effects of this practice on ecosystems today are not well documented.

Description (French)
Cette contribution soutient la recherche afin de mieux comprendre l’effet de la drave et de l’accumulation massive de matière ligneuse dans les milieux à faible courant, tels que les lacs. Les milieux aquatiques de plusieurs régions du Québec, dont l’Abitibi-Témiscamingue et la Mauricie, ont subi les impacts de la drave pendant près d’un siècle. Cependant, les effets de cette pratique sur les écosystèmes aujourd’hui sont peu documentés.
