dendrométricien

OBS: dendrométrie : Branche de la foresterie qui traite de la connaissance de la forme, des dimensions, de l'accroissement et de l'âge des arbres et des peuplements forestiers, ainsi que des dimensions et formes de leurs produits, particulièrement des bois ronds et bois débités.

CONT: Forest biometrician .... Participate in a team oriented research project assessing the carbon dynamics of forest ecosystems at country to regional scales, including the effects of changes in land cover, land use, and land management. The current research focus is to quantify the carbon flux (either sink or source) from changes in land use and land cover for several major boreal, temperate, and tropical countries. The primary duties will be: 1) estimate errors and their propagation for all components of national-scale terrestrial C budgets; 2) design sampling strategies for data collection from field sites to remote sensing scenes; 3) perform statistical analysis of inventory data for estimating status and trend of forest biomass-carbon densities; 4) design a data management system, including quality control procedures, for keeping track of estimates of means and associated errors of carbon budget components that vary over time and space ....
OBS: forest mensuration: The measurement of volume, growth and development of individual trees and stands, and the various products obtained from them.
