La foresterie contribue 19,8 milliards de dollars du PIB du Canada. L\u2019\u00e9pinette, la ressource foresti\u00e8re la plus importante du Canada, constitue une portion importante de cette somme. L’\u00e9pinette produit du bois et une fibre de meilleure qualit\u00e9 utilis\u00e9s \u00e0 grande \u00e9chelle. Avec plus de 400 millions de semis plant\u00e9s chaque ann\u00e9e, l’\u00e9pinette est l’essence la plus vis\u00e9e par le reboisement au Canada. Jusqu’\u00e0 maintenant, des programmes d’am\u00e9lioration des arbres bien \u00e9tablis en Colombie-Britannique et au Qu\u00e9bec ont fourni des stocks d’\u00e9pinette am\u00e9lior\u00e9s \u00e0 cette fin, faisant du Canada un chef de file du secteur. Toutefois, les changements climatiques ainsi que les \u00e9pid\u00e9mies d’insectes et les s\u00e9cheresses li\u00e9s \u00e0 ces changements co\u00fbtent au secteur forestier canadien des centaines de millions de dollars par ann\u00e9e en raison de la baisse de la productivit\u00e9 des for\u00eats d’\u00e9pinette. Ces r\u00e9percussions des changements climatiques, ainsi que les march\u00e9s changeants des produits forestiers, exigent le renforcement des programmes de s\u00e9lection d’\u00e9pinettes afin de garantir la sant\u00e9 des for\u00eats, la qualit\u00e9 du bois et la productivit\u00e9 \u00e0 l’avenir.<\/p>\n
Le projet Spruce-Up, dirig\u00e9 par Joerg Bohlmann de l’Universit\u00e9 de la Colombie-Britannique et Jean Bousquet de l’Universit\u00e9 Laval, pousse la g\u00e9nomique \u00e0 s’attarder \u00e0 ces d\u00e9fis. Le projet produira des connaissances de pointe, des outils de soutien aux d\u00e9cisions socio\u00e9conomiques et des outils de g\u00e9nomique appliqu\u00e9e pour am\u00e9liorer de fa\u00e7on marqu\u00e9e les programmes de s\u00e9lection classiques. En mobilisant les utilisateurs finaux au sein du gouvernement et de l’industrie dans le cadre de ses travaux, le projet renforcera le d\u00e9veloppement et le d\u00e9ploiement de stocks d’\u00e9pinette am\u00e9lior\u00e9s sur le plan g\u00e9nomique, r\u00e9sistant mieux aux insectes et \u00e0 la s\u00e9cheresse, utilisant les nutriments de mani\u00e8re plus efficace et accroissant la qualit\u00e9 du bois et la productivit\u00e9.<\/p>\n
On estime que le projet Spruce-Up permettra une augmentation de plus du double de la valeur \u00e9conomique des for\u00eats d’\u00e9pinette par rapport \u00e0 la s\u00e9lection classique. Le projet tirera profit des programmes existants de s\u00e9lection d’\u00e9pinette et de reboisement en accroissant la valeur des nouveaux arbres et en r\u00e9duisant les pertes li\u00e9es aux perturbations environnementales.<\/p>\n
The GE3<\/sup>LS component of the project will include a decision support dashboard comprising risks\/benefits, opportunities\/constraints, policy analysis, and community engagement models that consider site-specific characteristics and omics information to provide outputs on contamination risk, potential economic benefits and costs, policy coherence, and social acceptability of alternative courses of action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La foresterie contribue 19,8 milliards de dollars du PIB du Canada.
