Download or read book Perspectives on Developing a Canadian Classification of Ecological Communities written by Serguei Ponomarenko and published by Canadian Forest Service, Science Branch. This book was released on 2001 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report argues that Canada needs a national ecological community classification that would include all types of biotic communities. The report first provides background on classification science, ecological terminology, and the groups & principles of different ecosystem classifications. It then reviews various approaches to classification of vegetation communities and the ecological classification systems that have been already developed in Canada. The final section discusses the development of a standard national ecological community classification for Canada, proposes a structure of the Canadian Classification of Ecological Communities, and evaluates options for development of a Canadian National Vegetation Classification based on the International Classification of Ecological Communities system.

Book excerpt: This volume represents a first attempt at holistically classifying and mapping ecological regions across all three countries of the North American continent. A common analytical methodology is used to examine North American ecology at multiple scales, from large continental ecosystems to subdivisions of these that correlate more detailed physical and biological settings with human activities on two levels of successively smaller units. The volume begins with an overview of North America from an ecological perspective, concepts of ecological regionalization. This is followed by descriptions of the 15 broad ecological regions, including information on physical and biological setting and human activities. The final section presents case studies in applications of the ecological characterization methodology to environmental issues. The appendix includes a list of common and scientific names of selected species characteristic of the ecological regions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This bibliography includes a list and descriptions of the content of publications written or co-authored by staff of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources' Ontario Forest Research Institute between 2006 and 2010. During this five-year period, over 150 publications were produced by the institute's 14 research scientists, including a book, 83 journal articles, 31 reports, 10 technical notes, 5 newsletters, and 11 papers/summaries in conference/ workshop proceedings. The overall focus of the publications is forest resource management-related research and practice. Topical areas and scales of investigation are diverse and include natural disturbance regimes and landscape dynamics; carbon budgets and effects of climate change on forests; and silviculture studies on site preparation, tree improvement, vegetation management, growth and yield, disease management, and harvesting in conifer, mixedwood, and hardwood forests. Author and subject indexes are provided."--Document.

Download or read book Integrated Scientific Assessment for Ecosystem Management in the Interior Columbia Basin and Portions of the Klamath and Great Basins written by Interior Columbia Basin Ecosystem Management Project (U.S.). Science Integration Team and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Integrated Scientific Assessment for Ecosystem Management for the Interior Columbia Basin links landscape, aquatic, terrestrial, social, and economic characterizations to describe biophysical and social systems. Integration was achieved through a framework built around six goals for ecosystem management and three different views of the future. These goals are: maintain evolutionary and ecological processes; manage for multiple ecological domains and evolutionary timeframes; maintain viable populations of native and desired non-native species; encourage social and economic resiliency; manage for places with definable values; and, manage to maintain a variety of ecosystem goods, services, and conditions that society wants. Ratings of relative ecological integrity and socioeconomic resiliency were used to make broad statements about ecosystem conditions in the Basin. Currently in the Basin high integrity and resiliency are found on 16 and 20 percent of the area, respectively. Low integrity and resiliency are found on 60 and 68 percent of the area. Different approaches to management can alter the risks to the assets of people living in the Basin and to the ecosystem itself. Continuation of current management leads to increasing risks while management approaches focusing on reserves or restoration result in trends that mostly stabilize or reduce risks. Even where ecological integrity is projected to improve with the application of active management, population increases and the pressures of expanding demands on resources may cause increasing trends in risk"--page ii.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The landscape-scale approach to ecological issues has been made part of the forest policy framework in Ontario and has been incorporated into the Crown Forest Sustainability Act of 1994. Resource managers and policymakers in the province must integrate the landscape ecological perspective into established systems of resource management planning. The Forest Landscape Ecology Program commissioned a survey of their concerns and information needs with respect to this process. This report summarizes the issues and concerns reported by the respondents into 28 common themes grouped into the following general areas of activity: managing for biodiversity, wildlife management and habitat supply, ecosystem inventory and management, natural heritage definition and conservation, managing for multiple use, and assessing effects of development activities. The participants also reported on four main types of information needs.

This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The vulnerability of the forest vegetation of Ontario's northern Clay Belt region to climate change was assessed using forest tree species composition and forest productivity as indicators. Changes in species composition were examined using the modelled bioclimatic niche of 15 tree species under current and future climate projected for three periods (2011-2040, 2041-2070, 2071-2100) using four general circulation models and two emissions scenarios (A2, B1). Using climate projections from an ensemble model for these same scenarios and periods as inputs to climate-based site index and genecological models, changes in height growth were examined for several major tree species of the region as a measure of effects of climate on forest productivity. Major northward geographic shifts in species bioclimatic niche were projected, resulting in suitable climatic habitat decreasing for boreal forest species of the region, and becoming more favourable for species currently associated with more southern, i.e., Great Lakes-St. Lawrence, areas."--publisher.
