In Canada, the boreal forest covers an area of nearly 3 million km². This ecosystem plays a crucial role in conserving biodiversity and mitigating climate change. These forests are also essential to the Québécois and Canadian economies, especially for resource-dependent regions such as Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean.

The Boreal Research Centre combines expertise related to the natural processes and productivity of the boreal forest ecosystem and the valorization of boreal resources.

The boreal forest is simultaneously a living environment for diverse flora and fauna, a socio-economic vitality for the region, a vacation spot, a place for hunting and fishing, and the ancestral territory of the First Nations.
The researchers of LASEVE identify bioactive compounds from plants and other boreal species and undertake the work required to develop the products of interest.
