Marie, Ont. : Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. This book was released on 1994 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1991, a spatial forest database over large regions of Ontario was initiated as the basis for research into forest fragmentation and biodiversity using data generated from the digital analysis of LANDSAT thematic mapper satellite data integrated into a geographic information system (GIS). The project was later extended into the the eastern segment of the Boreal forest system. This report describes preparation of the spatial forest data base over the eastern Boreal Forest Region that extends from the northern boundary of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Forest Region and the southern margin of the James Bay Lowland, between the Ontario-Quebec border and a point west of Michipicoten on Lake Superior. The report describes the methodology used to produce the data base and results, including mapping of water, dense and sparse conifer forest, mixed forest, dense and sparse deciduous forest, poorly vegetated areas, recent cutovers of less than 10 years, old cutovers and burns, recent burns of less than 10 years, wetlands, bedrock outcrops, agriculture, built-up areas, and mine tailings.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1991, the development of a spatial forest data base over most of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Region was commissioned to provide the thematic basis for studies conducted for the forest fragmentation and biodiversity project under the forest landscape ecology program. The data base included a range of forest and vegetation cover classes, with the red pine and white pine stands restricted to those over 50 years of age. A method combining remote sensing and geographic information system technology was used for the project. This report describes the northern and southern sectors of the Eastern Ontario segment.

Download or read book Ecology of a Managed Terrestrial Landscape written by Ajith H. Perera and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing popularity of the broad, landscape-scale approach to forest management represents a dramatic shift from the traditional, stand-based focus on timber production. Ecology of a Managed Terrestrial Landscape responds to the increasing need of forest policy developers, planners, and managers for an integrated, comprehensive perspective on ecological landscapes. The book examines the "big picture" of ecological patterns and processes through a case study of the vast managed forest region in Ontario. The contributors synthesize current landscape ecological knowledge of this area and look at gaps and future research directions from several points of view: spatial patterns, ecological functions and processes, natural disturbances, and ecological responses to disturbance. They also discuss the integration of landscape ecological knowledge into policies of forest management policies, particularly with respect to Ontario's legislative goals of forest sustainability. Ecology of a Managed Terrestrial Landscape is the first book to describe the landscape ecology of a continuously forested landscape in a comprehensive manner. It is written for instructors and students in forest management, wildlife ecology, and landscape ecology, and for forest managers, planners, and policy developers in North America.

Marie, Ont. : Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. This book was released on 1993 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study quantified the landscape characteristics of eastern white pine and red pine forests in Ontario using a combination of LANDSAT TM imagery and aerial photographs to develop a spatial data base of 275,000 sq km. Analyses on spatial distribution, representativeness, configuration, and fragmentation were conducted in a GIS environment. Results are presented by pine type by both Hills' ecological hierarchy and the administrative hierarchy of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.

Perera and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This prospectus presents a broad framework for a series of research studies to investigate Ontario boreal forest fire regime at multiple scales. The broad research goal is to reduce uncertainties in knowledge about boreal forest fire regimes related to policy directions in Ministry of Natural Resources' Forest management guide for natural disturbance pattern emulation. The research studies are grouped into three categories: reviews and syntheses of published literature; determining the characteristics of the broad-scale fire regime in boreal Ontario; and spatial mapping and monitoring.

Download or read book Development of a Landscape Ecological Model for Management of Ontario Forests written by Larry E. Band and published by Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. : Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. This book was released on 1994 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the work accomplished under Phase 2 of a project to develop and apply a landscape ecological model to aid in the understanding and management of Ontario forest ecosystems. The first year concentrated on the initial development and testing of a data and simulation system to predict and understand forest productivity and water cycling for a test area in the Temagami District of Ontario. The second year's efforts further extended and developed the landscape model for three additional ecosystems along a significant east-west gradient across the province. The sites were chosen to provide both a broad geographic range in location and biome and a set of comprehensive measurements of forest productivity and hydrology for model diagnosis and validation. The three areas incorporated into the east-west gradient are the Petawawa National Forest Institute near Pembroke, the Turkey Lakes Experimental Watershed north of Sault Ste. Marie, and the area around Rinker Lake, north of Thunder Bay. Modifications and improvements were implemented in the digital terrain analysis methods, in the user interface, and in specific process modules.
