Riley and published by Aurora : Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Southern Region, Science and Technology Transfer. This book was released on 1994 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ecology of the settled landscapes of eastern North America is the subject of a growing body of research by conservation biologists and restoration and landscape ecologists. This review introduces readers to recent studies dealing with the subject, and with the landscape changes that may sustain viable natural ecosystems into the future. The paper also relates those studies to the landscapes and development patterns of settled southern Ontario and suggests some of the lessons that might be applied to the planning and management of those landscapes and their land uses.

Book Synopsis Presettlement Forest in Southern Ontario, Ecosystems Measured Through a Cultural Prism by :
Download or read book Presettlement Forest in Southern Ontario, Ecosystems Measured Through a Cultural Prism written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper adds to current understanding of the former & present status of old growth forest in Ontario. It first outlines the history of the province's forests since the last deglaciation, the settlement & land clearance patterns that occurred after arrival of Europeans, and the extent of original woodland still existing in southern Ontario. This is followed by two case studies illustrating typical settlement-area landscapes, based on analysis of historical land survey data, that question the popular view of pine as being the dominant species in old growth Ontario forests. Implications of the findings for forest restoration are discussed.

Download or read book Orangeville written by Wayne Townsend and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2006-11-21 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Town of Orangeville has a colourful, exciting past – a history being documented in book form for the first time. From the early days of the Irish pioneers escaping the political problems of Ireland to the present influx of new residents fleeing the pressures of cities, Orangeville has been a town that has adapted well to change, always ready for new ideas. The strength of the community has been the people who have chosen to live there and who have left us interesting traces of their lives and the times. Much of the material used to research this book comes from newspapers, diaries, letters and other first-person documents, and archival photographs. Wherever possible, original quotes and stories in the language of the residents of the town appear throughout this history. The story of Orangeville and its surrounding area starts with the story of the Credit River, which rises within the town limits and maintains its presence as the town enters the 21st century. Brimming with stories never before heard, the pages are filled with humour, sadness and the range of emotions characteristic of a small Ontario town. For some the book will awaken memories; for others, it will introduce them to the community where they have chosen to live.
Download or read book Storyteller Guitar written by Doug Larson and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2011-05-03 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every object around us contains the history of all the people and places that brought it here. But rarely is that history explored. In this book, instead of breaking an object apart to reveal those stories, they are told by building the object a guitar named Storyteller from scratch. The text and illustrations reveal the rich lives of the people, places, and projects that breathed life into it. The stories range from people who were pioneers in landscape restoration to those involved with automobile manufacturing. The places include the high arctic, tropical forests, and vertical cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment. The projects include stage plays, laser physics and the establishment of the first Canadian diamond mines. By bringing together these disparate stories in one musical instrument the book makes the argument that art, science, and history are part of everybody’s life.
Book Synopsis Ontario's Old-growth Forests by : Michael Henry
Download or read book Ontario's Old-growth Forests written by Michael Henry and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who would have thought that dwarf cedar trees growing on the Niagara Escarpment could live to be nearly 2000 years old. Or that the small bonsai cedars lining the shorelines of the Canadian shield measure their ages in centuries. Old growth pine trees in Temagami are often over 10 stories tall, but these are young sprouts compared to trees of yesteryear, which were as much as 20 stories high. Ontario's old growth forests are fantastical and mysterious, but who knows where to find one. Most people in this province live within an hour's drive of an old growth forest, but do not know it. The ecology of these stands is engrossing. Fire scars on these trees, for example, provide an indisputable record of forest fire activity in Ontario. Small hemlock saplings, over 100 years old, have been growing at infinitesimal rates, waiting for a gap to open in the forest canopy.

Book Synopsis Emulating Natural Forest Landscape Disturbances by : Ajith H. Perera
Download or read book Emulating Natural Forest Landscape Disturbances written by Ajith H. Perera and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive collection of provocative papers provides a scientific foundation for justifying the use of and a solid framework for examining the ambiguities inherent in emulating natural forest landscape disturbance. Contributors range from policymakers and forestry professionals to academics and conservationists, offering a balanced view of the promises and challenges of the forest management paradigm in sustaining forest landscapes. The book opens with an overview of foundational concepts, a detailed discussion of emerging forest management paradigms and their global context, and an examination of the ecological premise for emulating natural disturbance. This section also explores the current understanding of natural disturbance regimes, including the two most prevalent in North America: fire and insects. The volume then uses several geographically diverse case studies to address the characterization of natural disturbances and the development of applied templates for their emulation through forest management. The emphasis on fire regimes reflects the greater focus that has traditionally been placed on understanding and managing fire, compared with other forms of disturbance, and utilizes several viewpoints to address the lessons learned from historical disturbance patterns. Reflecting current developments in the field, immediate challenges, and potential directions, this collection concludes with a penetrating look at practical applications, exploring the expectations for and feasibility of emulating natural disturbance through forest management.

Book Synopsis The History and Archaeology of the Iroquois du Nord by : Ronald F. Williamson
Download or read book The History and Archaeology of the Iroquois du Nord written by Ronald F. Williamson and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2023-03-21 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-to late 1660s and early 1670s, the Haudenosaunee established a series of settlements at strategic locations along the trade routes inland at short distances from the north shore of Lake Ontario. From east to west, these communities consisted of Ganneious, on Napanee or Hay Bay, on the Bay of Quinte; Kenté, near the isthmus of the Quinte Peninsula; Ganaraské, at the mouth of the Ganaraska River; Quintio, on Rice Lake; Ganatsekwyagon, near the mouth of the Rouge River; Teiaiagon, near the mouth of the Humber River; and Qutinaouatoua, inland from the western end of Lake Ontario. All of these settlements likely contained people from several Haudenosaunee nations as well as former Ontario Iroquoians who had been adopted by the Haudenosaunee. These self-sufficient places acted as bases for their own inhabitants but also served as stopovers for south shore Haudenosaunee on their way to and from the beaver hunt beyond the lower Great Lakes. The Cayuga village of Kenté was where, in 1668, the Sulpicians established a mission by the same name, which became the basis for the region’s later name of Quinte. In 1676, a short-lived subsidiary mission was established at Teiaiagon. It appears that most of the north shore villages were abandoned by 1688. This volume brings together traditional Indigenous knowledge as well as documentary and recent archaeological evidence of this period and focuses on describing the historical context and efforts to find the settlements and presents examinations of the unique material culture found at them and at similar communities in the Haudenosaunee homeland.
