Intensive silviculture laboratory

Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Amos, Québec
What the facility does

Dendrochronology, plant physiology.

Areas of expertise

We perform all of the necessary analyses for understanding plant physiology.

Research services
  • Plant physiological analyses (photosynthesis, hydraulic conductivity, leaf surface, sugar, chlorophyll content, etc.),
  • Dendrochronological analyses (cross-dating, Velmex table for ring widths),
  • In vitro culture
Sectors of application
  • Agriculture, animal science and food
  • Energy (renewable and fossil)
  • Forestry and forest-based industries
