Barrette, Martin
Martin Barrette is a forest engineer with degrees from Laval University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (B. Sc. A, 2000; M. Sc., 2004; Ph. D., 2015). He is an associate professor at Laval University and an associate member of the Centre for Forest Research. Through his collaborations with university researchers, he supervises master's and doctoral students. His research program aims to promote the sustainability of forest management. He studies the productivity, successional dynamics, resilience and naturalness of managed forests.
