Understanding Historical Landscape Patterns on the Weyerhaeuser Grande Prairie FMA Area in Alberta

This project was a spatial modelling exercise that created coarse-scale pre-industrial landscape metrics of the Weyerhaeuser Grande Prairie FMA area in Alberta. The primary goal was to understand if, or in what ways the current condition of the FMA area align with the historical “natural” range. The results suggest that much of this landscape is statistically well beyond its historical range.
