Wall-to-wall 30 m raster maps of broad forest type, stand height, crown closure, stand volume, total volume, aboveground biomass, and stand age were created for a ~400,000 km2 area, validated with independent data, and generalized into a polygon GIS layer resembling a traditional FI map. The MVI project showed that a reasonably accurate FI map for large, remote, predominantly non-inventoried boreal regions can be obtained at a low cost by combining limited field data with remote sensing data from multiple sources.

Understanding spatial distributions of organisms and the consequences for conservation policy and management decisions remain important challenges. We describe a method for grouping caribou into plausible candidate Local Population Units that may better approximate geographic closure than the existing LPUs.
