The Lake Abitibi Model Forest, covering 1.2 million hectares of boreal forest
in northern Ontario, is located on the Quebec border in close proximity to the
Ontario communities of Cochrane, Iroquois Falls and Timmins. The forest’s
dominant tree species are balsam fir, black spruce, trembling aspen and white
birch. Three forest companies, Abitibi-Consolidated, Tembec and Norbord, manage
approximately 95 percent of the land in the Model Forest area. Lake Abitibi
Model Forest’s project areas include community level socio-economic development
models, ecological processes and education. The Forest is also a pilot site for
the development and testing of the
Operational-Scale Carbon Budget Model.
