Download or read book The Natural Heritage of Southern Ontario's Settled Landscapes written by John L. 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.
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 excerpt: "All of us who are concerned about the conservation of our forests - environmental activists, forest industry representatives, scientists, Aboriginal peoples, professional foresters, policy makers, students, in fact, the full spectrum of citizens from every walk of life - can be grateful that Ken Armson has taken advantage of his lifetime career to set this history down for those who come after." - Monte Hummel, President of the World Wildlife Fund, Canada, from the Preface. Sixty-four percent of Ontario's 106.8 million hectares is covered in forest. yet the average resident who spends only limited time in the forest - hiking, skiing, camping, cottaging or on the occasional northern getaway - is still much of a mystery. In Ontario Forests, veteran forester Ken Armson draws on over 50 years experience to describe this living blanket which has shaped much of the province and stands to dictate a great deal of its future. Ontario Forests is an authoritative account of Ontario's forest regions and their history. Complete with maps, charts and full-colour photography, each forest region is located and detailed. The various tree species which make each region unique are also highlighted, and their origins of glaciation, physiographic and geological change, climactic and soil variation analyzed. Professor Armson also describes the impact of humans, from aboriginal use through lumbering to the rise of reforestation and conservation.

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 Identity and Heritage by : Peter F. Biehl
Download or read book Identity and Heritage written by Peter F. Biehl and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will suggest new agendas for identity and heritage studies by means of presenting contentious issues facing archaeology and heritage management in a globalized world. The book is not only present the variability of heritage objectives and experiences in the New and Old World, and opens a discussion, in a shrinking world, to look beyond national and regional contexts. If the heritage sector and archaeology are to remain relevant in our contemporary world and the near future, there are a number of questions concerning the politics, practices and narratives related to heritage and identity that must be addressed. Questions of relevance in an affluent, cosmopolitan setting are at odds with those relevant for a region emerging from civil war or ethnic strife, or a national minority battling oppression or ethnic cleansing. A premise is that heritage represents a broad scope of empirically and theoretically sound interpretations – that heritage is a response to contemporary forces, as much as data. It is therefore necessary constantly to evaluate what is scientifically accurate as well as what is valid and relevant and what can have a contemporary impact.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Ecological Restoration by : Martin R. Perrow
Download or read book Handbook of Ecological Restoration written by Martin R. Perrow and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-09-05 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two volumes of this handbook provide a comprehensive account of the emerging and vibrant science of the ecological restoration of both habitats and species. Ecological restoration aims to achieve complete structural and functional, self-maintaining biological integrity following disturbance. In practice, any theoretical model is modified by a number of economic, social and ecological constraints. Consequently, material that might be considered as rehabilitation, enhancement, reconstruction or re-creation is also included. Restoration in Practice provides details of state-of-the-art restoration practice in a range of biomes within terrestrial and aquatic (marine, coastal and freshwater) ecosystems. Policy and legislative issues on all continents are also outlined and discussed. The accompanying volume, Principles of Restoration defines the underlying principles of restoration ecology. The Handbook of Ecological Restoration will be an invaluable resource to anyone concerned with the restoration, rehabilitation, enhancement or creation of habitats in aquatic or terrestrial systems, throughout the world.
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.
