Résumé
The purpose of the project is to advance the use of metagenomics and related molecular approaches as tools to demonstrate forest ecosystem integrity in managed forests. Specifically, the project will focus on microbiota and invertebrate biodiversity, which play a key role on the ecosystem processes of decomposition and nutrient cycling, as an indicator of ecosystem integrity.

Program Purpose (French)
L'objectif du projet est d'avancer l'usage de la métagénomique et d'autres approches moléculaires comme outils pour démontrer l'intégrité des écosystèmes forestiers aménagés. Plus spécifiquement, le projet examinera le microbiote des sols forestiers et la diversité des invertébrés comme indicateurs de l'intégrité écosystémique puisqu'ils jouent un rôle important dans la décomposition et le cycle des substances nutritives.
