The Forestry Research Partnership: Developing the partnership.

摘要

Initiated in 1999 by Tembec Inc., the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Natural Resources Canada, and housed at the Canadian Ecology Centre, the Canadian Ecology Centre -- Forestry Research Partnership (referred to as the CECFRP) quickly evolved into an effective and successful catalyst, facilitator, and funding source for integrated forest research and development in Ontario. This paper highlights the development of the partnership and serves as an introduction to a collection of papers that highlight some of the forest science and research projects undertaken by the CECFRP over 7 years.
