One of the foundational studies of social network analysis produced a depiction of scientifi c collaboration by tracing a network of scientifi c papers linked by co-authorships and co-citations, which has since spurred numerous studies on the typology, organization and dynamics of scientifi c research networks. This paper introduces social network analysis and its analytical measures of network structure. It then demonstrates the utility of social network analysis in forestry, in the evaluation of large research networks such as the Sustainable Forest Management Network (SFMN), and suggests other important uses of network visualization to facilitate exploring, discovering and selecting resources in a database.

“…In Ontario, Canada, the intensification of silviculture is being considered to enhance fibre production (see Bell et al 2008, Bruemmer 2008) and harvesting of wood biomass is being considered in the context of bioenergy (Mabee et al 2011, Puddister et al 2011. These and other changes require new information that can be used to ensure that these modified practices fit within the context of sustainable development.…”

The NEBIE plot network is a stand-scale, multi-agency research project designed to compare the ecological effects of a range of silvicultural treatments in northern temperate and boreal forest regions of Ontario, Canada. While research on silviculture intensities has been previously conducted, the NEBIE plot network is at a larger scale, and covers a wider range of intensities in a variety of northern temperate and boreal forest types. Details about experimental design, treatment designs and research sites, are presented in a companion paper which is published in this edition of The Forestry Chronicle. The operational scale of treatment plots allow for assessment of a variety of forest values. We used a criteria and indicator approach to organize long-term research studies on the network sites, with the goal of providing scientific findings that would inform forest policy. Pre-treatment, and 2-, 5-, and 10-year post-harvesting data have been collected. These initial data add to existing information on the effects of intensification of silviculture on biological diversity, forest productivity, ecosystem health and vitality, soil and water resources, contribution of enhanced forest management global carbon cycles, and long-term multiple socio-economic benefits of northern forests.Keywords: ecosystem services, forest research, silviculture, sustainable forest management RÉSUMÉ Le réseau de placettes NEBIE est un projet de recherche à l' échelle du peuplement regroupant plusieurs organismes et destiné à comparer les effets écologiques d'une gamme d'interventions sylvicoles dans les régions tempérée et boréale en Ontario au Canada. Même s'il y a déjà eu des travaux de recherche sur l'intensification de la sylviculture, le réseau de placettes NEBIE se situe à une bien plus grande échelle et se prête ainsi à expérimenter une plus vaste gamme d'intensités dans une variété de conditions dans les forêts tempérées et boréales. On trouvera plus de renseignements sur le plan expé-rimental, les traitements et les sites expérimentaux dans un autre article de ce numéro du The Forestry Chronicle. Le fait qu' on dispose de placettes à l' échelle opérationnelle permet d' évaluer une variété de valeurs forestières en même temps. Nous avons adopté une approche par critères et indicateurs pour disposer les sites expérimentaux à long terme sur les différentes stations du réseau en vue d' obtenir des résultats scientifiques qui puissent apporter des éclairages pour guider la politique forestière. On dispose maintenant de mesures prises avant les traitements puis 2, 5 et 10 ans après la récolte. Ces données de départ s'ajoutent à la documentation portant sur les effets de la sylviculture intensive sur la biodiversité, la productivité forestière, la santé et la vitalité des écosystèmes, les sols et les ressources en eau, la contribution de l'aménage-ment bonifié sur les cycles planétaires du carbone et les nombreux bienfaits socioéconomiques à long terme liés aux forêts nordiques.

“…Aside from the small group of OMNR and NRCan scientists involved in designing the CEC-FRP research program, most researchers and forest resource managers were basically told what was going to happen or had already happened. The program functioned primarily to promote the CEC-FRP goal of increasing the supply of fibre to Tembec mills in northeastern Ontario by 10% in 10 years (Bruemmer 2008, this Within 3 years of the initiation of the partnership, it became evident that the approach to transfer needed to evolve into a focused extension program with increased participation by partners. Extension activities emphasized helping participants learn to support improved decision-making, and could be classified as consultative or functional participation.…”

Knowledge transfer, including awareness, transfer, extension, training, and education activities, was purposely incorporated into the Canadian Ecology Centre -Forestry Research Partnership (CEC-FRP) at an early stage as part of an adaptive management approach. Over the course of 7 years, the level of involvement from researchers, policy-makers, and forest resource managers in knowledge transfer activities progressed from passive to interactive participation, with each successive stage requiring greater attention to timing and the capacity of participants to take in new knowledge. An interactive approach, dubbed core teams, proved essential in overcoming barriers to the flow of knowledge into practice. Four case examples: (1) revising growth and yield predictions, (2) integrating spatial and nonspatial landscape analysis tools, (3) developing and applying advanced silvicultural decision-making, and (4) applying spray delivery systems, are used to convey the success of knowledge transfer and extension efforts in the CEC-FRP and the essential role of the core teams. Physical, human, and financial resources, coupled with strong involvement by partner organizations, were key factors in the success of knowledge transfer efforts.Key words: active adaptive management, forest management RÉSUMÉLe transfert des connaissances, incluant la sensibilisation, le transfert, les services d'information, la formation et les activités éducatives, a été sciemment inclus dans le partenariat du Centre écologique du Canada -Partenariat pour la recherche forestière (CEC-PRF) dès les premières étapes en tant qu' élément de l'approche d'aménagement adaptatif. Au cours des 7 années qui ont suivi, le niveau d'implication des chercheurs, des concepteurs de politiques et des aménagistes de la ressource forestière dans le transfert des connaissances est passé de celui de passif à celui d'interactif, impliquant à chaque étape successive une plus grande attention au moment et à la capacité des participants d'acquérir de nouvelles connaissances. Une approche interactive, doublée d' équipes centrales, s' est avérée être essentielle pour surmonter les obstacles empêchant l' écoulement des connaissances vers le champ de la pratique. Quatre exemples : (1) la révision des prédictions de croissance et de rendement, (2) l'intégration des outils d'analyse spatiale et non spatiale de l' écosystème, (3) le développement et l'application de nouveaux processus de prise de décision en sylviculture et, (4) l'utilisation de systèmes de diffusion étendue, sont utilisés pour démontrer le succès des efforts de transfert de connaissances et des services d'information enregistré par le CEC-PRF et le rôle essentiel des équipes centrales. Les ressources physiques, humaines et financières, ainsi que le haut niveau d'implication des organisations participantes, ont été les facteurs clés du succès des efforts de gestion des connaissances.Mots clés : aménagement adaptatif actif, aménagement forestier
