Book excerpt: This report highlights past delivery of the land-based programs and progress of mountain pine beetle research during 2003 & 2004 by the Mountain Pine Beetle Initiative, a six-year program established to address the mountain pine beetle epidemic in western Canada and to reduce the risk of future such epidemics. After an introduction on the epidemic and the Initiative, the report summarizes the accomplishments of the Private Forestlands Rehabilitation Program, the Federal Forestlands Rehabilitation Program (First Nations, National Parks, and Other Federal Forestlands components), and the research & development program (including research on ecology, forest economics, socio-economic processes & risk reduction). Finally, the next steps in the land-based and research & development programs are discussed.
Book Synopsis Animals' Influence on the Landscape and Ecological Importance by : Friedrich-Karl Holtmeier
Download or read book Animals' Influence on the Landscape and Ecological Importance written by Friedrich-Karl Holtmeier and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-22 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its first English-language edition, this book introduces the many-faceted interactions of animal populations with their habitats. From soil fauna, ants and termites to small and large herbivores, burrowing mammals and birds, the author presents a comprehensive analysis of animals and ecosystems that is as broad and varied as all nature. Chapter 2 addresses the functional role of animals in landscape ecosystems, emphasizing fluxes of energy and matter within and between ecosystems, and the effects of animals on qualitative and structural habitat change. Discussion includes chapters on the role of animal population density and the impacts of native herbivores on vegetation and habitats from the tropics to the polar regions. Cyclic mass outbreaks of species such as the larch bud moth in Switzerland, the mountain pine beetle and the African red-billed weaver bird are described and analyzed. Other chapters discuss Zoochory – the dispersal of seeds by ants, mammals and birds – and the influence of burrowing animals on soil development and geomorphology. Consideration extends to the impact of feral domestic animals. Chapter 5 focuses on problems resulting from introduction of alien animals and from re-introduction of animal species to their original habitats, discusses the effects on ecosystems of burrowing, digging and trampling by animals. The author also addresses keystone species such as kangaroo rats, termites and beavers. Chapter 6 addresses the role of animals in landscape management and nature conservation, with chapters on the impact of newcomer species such as animals introduced into Australia, New Zealand and Europe, and the consequences of reintroduction of species to original habitat. It also discusses the carrying capacity of natural habit, public attitudes toward conversation and more. The final section ponders the effects of climate on interactions between animals and their habitats.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is part of a series of research papers that explore the biological, social, and economic aspects of British Columbia's mountain pine beetle epidemic. The main purpose of this study was to apply and refine a model methodology to evaluate the effectiveness of landscape-scale bark beetle-management activities in reducing losses to mountain pine beetle, and to analyze the potential spread of the beetle across the study area. Specifically, the goal of this project was to address the question: what would be the likely trajectory and impacts from the current beetle outbreak under a range of alternative beetle-management regimes?

Book Synopsis Mountain Pine Beetle Range Expansion by : Katherine Patricia Bleiker
Download or read book Mountain Pine Beetle Range Expansion written by Katherine Patricia Bleiker and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For this report the authors investigated whether an endemic niche exists for the mountain pine beetle (MPB) in north-western Alberta, a region east of the Rocky Mountains that was recently invaded by beetles. Their approach was to sample endemic or endemic-incipient MPB populations in the region in situ, including the assemblage of secondary bark beetles with which the MPB may interact. The objectives of this project were threefold: (i) determine the potential for MPB to persist at endemic levels east of the Rockies; (ii) if persistence is possible, determine the rate of population increase or decrease to assess the potential for eruptions and spread; and (iii) provide data to existing and emergent decision support tools to re-parameterize, where appropriate, to accommodate MPB dynamics in a new habitat.--Document.

Book Synopsis Storing Beetle-killed Logs Under Snow to Reduce Losses After Mountain Pine Beetle Attack by : Roger J. Whitehead
Download or read book Storing Beetle-killed Logs Under Snow to Reduce Losses After Mountain Pine Beetle Attack written by Roger J. Whitehead and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To assess the potential to store beetle-killed logs under insulated snowpacks in British Columbia to preserve wood quality and maximize value recovery, we reviewed the literature and visited operations in eastern Canada, where the technique has been recently adapted to routine operations, and in Finland, where 3.5 million m3 of timber are stored under snow annually. We also visited storage terminals in Sweden where very large volumes of sawtimber have been stored since 2005. We identified three roles that cold storage could play in responding to the current mountain pine beetle outbreak: (1) where the outbreak is expanding rapidly and green-attack volume exceeds capacity of mills to process all logs prior to dispersal flight, cold storage can prevent development and dispersal of beetles before milling late in the season; (2) where significant value is lost between harvesting and processing due to checking after delivery to the mill, cold storage can maintain moisture content and extend the time frame for achieving higher economic recovery; and, (3) where there is an opportunity to store large volumes of quality logs, doing so for an extended period (more than one year) may help defer or moderate anticipated social, environmental and economic impacts in the areas most affected by the mountain pine beetle outbreak. We report on discussions with woodland and plant managers in British Columbia on how the technique might be adapted to western Canadian operations and possible impediments to implementation, and we present recommendations.

Book Synopsis Adaptive Environmental Management by : Catherine Allan
Download or read book Adaptive Environmental Management written by Catherine Allan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-06-05 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adaptive management is the recommended means for continuing ecosystem management and use of natural resources, especially in the context of ‘integrated natural resource management’. Conceptually, adaptive management is simply learning from past management actions to improve future planning and management. However, adaptive management has proved difficult to achieve in practice. With a view to facilitating better practice, this new book presents lessons learned from case studies, to provide managers with ready access to relevant information. Cases are drawn from a number of disciplinary fields, including management of protected areas, watersheds and farms, rivers, forests, biodiversity and pests. Examples from Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Canada, the UK and Europe are presented at a variety of scales, from individual farms, through regional projects, to state-wide planning. While the book is designed primarily for practitioners and policy advisors in the fields of environmental and natural resource management, it will also provide a valuable reference for students and researchers with interests in environmental, natural resource and conservation management.
