Book Synopsis A Field Guide to Forest Site Identification and Interpretation for the Cariboo Forest Region by : O. A. Steen
Download or read book A Field Guide to Forest Site Identification and Interpretation for the Cariboo Forest Region written by O. A. Steen and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide presents site identification and interpretation information for forest ecosystems of the Cariboo Forest Region. Site identification is based on the biogeoclimatic ecosystem classification (BEC) initially developed by V.J. Krajina and his students at the University of British Columbia and subsequently revised by the B.C. Ministry of Forests. This guide has two principal goals: to assist users in describing and identifying forest ecosystems; and to provide management interpretations to assist users in preparing stand-level forest management prescriptions. It describes only forested site units. Grassland, non-forested wetland, alpine tundra, and other non-forested sites of the Cariboo Forest Region will be described separately in other guides. In addition, the ecosystem descriptions apply primarily to coniferous forests, since deciduous forests have not been sufficiently well studied to be included.
Book Synopsis The Biodiversity Atlas of British Columbia by : M. A. Austin
Download or read book The Biodiversity Atlas of British Columbia written by M. A. Austin and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With sixty descriptive maps and accompanying text, The Biodiversity Atlas of British Columbia provides a broad overview of the province?s range of terrestrial and freshwater biological diversity. Bringing together data from numerous sources summarized in map form, the Atlas provides a window to B.C.?s diverse ecosystems, the species that live in them, and the elements of British Columbia?s biodiversity that make it globally significant. The Atlas also presents a visual perspective of a number of human-induced threats, including climate change, affecting biodiversity in B.C. today. The Atlas is designed to serve as a companion document to Taking Nature?s Pulse: The Status of Biodiversity in British Columbia ? a comprehensive scientific assessment of biodiversity in the province. Both the Atlas and Taking Nature?s Pulse are projects of Biodiversity BC, a partnership of conservation groups and government agencies.

The second section focuses on the diversity of species in British Columbia, with papers on specific species or groups such as lepidoptera, marine invertebrates, lichens, bryophytes, fish, fungi, mammals, birds, reptiles, and vascular plants. Part three summarises information on the diversity of the province's ecosystems, with papers on such topics as forests, grasslands, marine areas, urban areas, and atmospheric change.

Book Synopsis Terrestrial Ecosystem Classification in the Rocky Mountains, Northern Utah by : Antonin Kusbach
Download or read book Terrestrial Ecosystem Classification in the Rocky Mountains, Northern Utah written by Antonin Kusbach and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, there is no comprehensive terrestrial ecosystem classification for the central Rocky Mountains of the United States. A comprehensive classification of terrestrial ecosystems in a mountainous study area in northern Utah was developed incorporating direct gradient analysis, spatial hierarchy theory, the zonal concept, and concepts of diagnostic species and fidelity, together with the biogeoclimatic ecosystem classification approach used in British Columbia, Canada. This classification was derived from vegetation and environmental sampling of both forest and non-forest ecosystems. The SNOwpack TELemetry (SNOTEL) and The National Weather Service (NWS) Cooperative Observer Program (COOP) weather station network were used to approximate climate of 163 sample plots. Within the large environmental diversity of the study area, three levels of ecosystem organization were distinguished: (1) macroclimatic regional climate; (2) mesoclimatic, accounting for local climate and moisture distribution; and (3) edaphic soil fertility. These three levels represent, in order, the L+1, L, and L-1 levels in a spatial hierarchy. Based on vegetation physiognomy, climatic data, and taxonomic classification of zonal soils, two vegetation geo-climatic zones were identified at the macroclimatic (L+1) level: (1) montane zone with Rocky Mountain juniper and Douglas-fir; and (2) subalpine zone with Engelmann spruce and subalpine fir as climatic climax species. A vegetation classification was developed by combining vegetation samples (releves) into meaningful vegetation units. A site classification was developed, based on dominant environmental gradients within the subalpine vegetation geoclimatic zone. Site classes were specified and a site grid was constructed. This site classification was coupled with the vegetation classification. Each plant community was associated with its environmental space within the site grid. This vegetation site overlay allowed ecosystems to be differentiated environmentally and a structure, combining zonal, vegetation, and site classifications, forms a comprehensive ecosystem classification. Based on assessment of plant communities' environmental demands and site vegetation potential, the comprehensive classification system enables inferences about site history and successional status of ecosystems. This classification is consistent with the recent USDA, Forest Service ECOMAP and Terrestrial Ecological Unit Inventory structure and may serve as a valuable tool not only in vegetation, climatic, or soil studies but also in practical ecosystem management.
Book Synopsis Plant Indicator Guide for Northern British Columbia by : Leisbet J. Beaudry
Download or read book Plant Indicator Guide for Northern British Columbia written by Leisbet J. Beaudry and published by Ministry of Forests, Research Program. This book was released on 1999 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidebook shows how the distribution of common forest plants changes across British Columbia's northern interior landscape due to variations in climate, terrain, and site & soil conditions. The guide contains information on 215 plant species or groups that occur in the major biogeoclimatic zones of the Prince Rupert, Prince George, and northern Cariboo forest regions. The information, arranged first by category of plant (trees; shrubs; dwarf shrubs, herbs, & ferns; grasses & sedges; mosses, liverworts, & lichens) then by scientific name, is in the form of grids that depict the predominant moisture & nutrient regimes where a species will most likely occur in old or mature forests. Also included are notes on indicator values and habitat associations. Includes index of common & scientific names.
