Acknowledgements The authors gratefully acknowledge provincial and territorial forest inventory staff for providing and, in some cases converting, data: Paul White (Newfoundland and Labrador), Colleen Brothers (Nova Scotia), Bill Glen (Prince Edward Island), Bob Dick and John Upshall (New Brunswick), Robin Lefrancois (Quebec), Frank Addante (Ontario), Gerry Becker (Manitoba), Xilin Fang (Saskatchewan), Ken Dutchak and Daryl McEwan (Alberta), Tim Salkeld (British Columbia), and Pat MacDonell and Jessie Devost (Yukon). Joe Lowe’s (1934–1996) vision for a National Forest Inventory for Canada was carried forward by Steen Magnussen; it was brought into being with the capable and invaluable data-conversion assistance of summer and co-op students Tom Arkinstall, Tamara Brierley, Becky Davis, Sean Fadum, Jacob Guercio, Luke Holden, Norman Sim, Mark Szilveszter, Kelly Wallace and Tracy Young. Stephen Gray’s expertise in data extraction for analysis and understanding of the data also aided greatly in the preparation of a clean, error-free data set. He prepared data for map production and drafted data summaries for tables. Dennis Clarke prepared and assisted in the design of maps. Paul Boudewyn and Alex Song developed the biomass estimation, and Paul prepared the text describing biomass-estimation procedures and the resulting biomass data set. The authors gratefully acknowledge the time and effort that these and others contributed to the project—it would not have been possible without them. Finally, the authors appreciate the comments of reviewers Brian Haddon, Ken Mallett, Hubert Bunce and Simon Bridge, and wish to thank them for their time and efforts. vii
