Download or read book Carbon Management in British Columbia's Forests written by Mike Greig and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most ecosystems, the majority of the carbon is stored below ground as roots and decaying biomass or as organic carbon in the soil. [...] In both the forest and non-forest environment, when we measure the total carbon content we are measuring what is referred to as the "carbon stock." The carbon stored in forests is sequestered from the atmosphere through photosynthesis (the conversion of atmospheric CO2 into plant material using energy from the sun, releasing oxygen in the process) (Figure 1). [...] In some cases, acts of fire suppression and protection against insects lead to reductions in the affected areas and help maintain the level of carbon stored; however, uncertainty surrounds our ability to reduce the impacts of fire and insects on carbon over the long term or over large landscapes (see Section 2.2.1 below). [...] The Canadian Forest Service recently pointed out the important roles of forests and sustainable forest management in the global climate system: "forests play two important roles in the global climate system: first, they remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it in trees, litter and soil carbon, and second, they provide timber, fibre and energy to meet human demands. [...] In the February 2008 Speech from the Throne, the Premier outlined the following new or existing measures to reduce the province's carbon footprint: the zero net deforestation goal, the Trees for Tomorrow program, the restocking of all forest land, the Forests for Tomorrow program,2 the Bioenergy Strategy, the Pacific Carbon Trust, and new investments in carbon offset projects that benefit First Na.

Download or read book Decreasing Uncertainty in CBM-CFS3 Estimates of Forest Soil Carbon Sources and Sinks Through Use of Long-term Data from the Canadian Intersite Decomposition Experiment written by Carolyn Esther Smyth and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The operational-scale Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forest Sector 3 (CBM-CFS3) is an inventory-based carbon model that consists of a linked set of submodels for live biomass, dead organic matter, forest management, land-use change, and disturbance. The model is an integral part of Canada's National Forest Monitoring, Accounting and Reporting system. This study focuses on the verification of components of the dead organic matter submodel of the CBM-CFS3. The submodel controls the dynamics of all dead organic matter pools, the release of decayed material to the atmosphere, and the transfer of carbon to the humified organic material (the model's slow carbon pool). The study is divided into five sections, detailing the background of the experiment, its design, the parameters, the summary of results, and tables.--Includes text from document.

Book excerpt: "In September 2004, the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers established a federal, provincial, and territorial task group of assistant deputy ministers (ADMs) and commissioned the development of the Canadian Wildland Fire Strategy (CWFS). The ADMs created an intergovernmental team of analysts, experienced fire managers, and researchers, known as the CWFS Core Team, to consult with Canadian and international experts, collate information, conduct analyses, and present the findings. This team was directed to assess the current state of wildland fire management in Canada, examine the key influences and trends, and identify possible desired future states and how they could be achieved. This publication comprises a collection of nine reports written by the CWFS Core Team members and their associates. Collectively these papers include syntheses, analyses, and perspective articles that address a variety of the social, economic, and biophysical aspects of wildland fire and its management as well as policy, science, and operational issues in Canada."--Pub. desc.

Book excerpt: The increased fi re load is expected to increase the cost of fi re management in the province 16% by the year 2040 and 54% by the year 2090 over year 2000 costs, exclusive of infl ation or other factors. [...] In addition to increases in seasonal fi re severity indices, a number of these studies also predict increases in the frequency of occurrence of extreme fi re danger in some areas of the country (e.g., Stocks et al. [...] This study uses lightning- and people-caused fi re occurrence models developed specifi cally for Ontario with GCM projections of future climate and Ontario's level of protection analysis software, LEOPARDS (see McAlpine and Hirsch 1999) to estimate the impacts of climate change on the fi re management organization both in terms of numbers of escaped fi res and with respect to changes in operationa [...] The sites of the GCM grid cell centres and OMNR weather stations used are shown in Figure 1. Fire Weather and Fire Danger To create the fi re climate of a future decade, the monthly anomalies were applied to the daily data from the OMNR fi re weather station archive from the years 1992-2001 (corresponding to the period over which lightning records were available). [...] The Fire Behaviour Prediction (FBP) System (Forestry Canada Fire Danger Group 1992) was used in conjunction with the Initial Spread Index (ISI), the Build-up Index (BUI) (calculated on the detection date of the fi re using the FWI System), and the fuel type associated with the fi re to estimate an initial rate of spread for each fi re.
