Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide is part of the Nova Scotia forest ecosystem classification (FEC) system. It describes all currently recognized forest groups and vegetation types (VTs) in the province along with successional development, coarse woody debris volume, and snag density interpretations. Although presented as a separate document, this guide is designed to be used in conjunction with provincial soil type and ecosite guides to support ecosystem based, stand-level forest management in Nova Scotia. Vegetation types were derived from 1,456 provincial FEC field plots sampled between 2000 and 2010. Data from an additional 102 non-FEC plots assessed by the Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre and NSDNR Wildlife Division were also used. Vegetation divisions and groupings were based on statistical analysis and expert opinion. A total of 14 forest groups, 88 VTs and 22 variants have been identified to date.--Document.

Book excerpt: Guide to assist in the recognition of vegetation and soil features of forest ecosystems in north-western Ontario using a classification system that enables the allocation of any forest ecosystem to one of 40 vegetation types and one of 22 soil types. Provides an orientation to the vegetation classification; describes the vegetation types and their determination, including a key and factsheets for classifying stands to vegetation types; provides keys and factsheets for classifying soil types; and gives a brief overview of the relationships among vegetation and soil types in north-western Ontario as well as background information on potential applications of the classification. Also contains aids for describing or recognizing important soil features and many of the plant species used in the allocation keys and factsheets.

Download or read book Forest Ecology written by Daniel M. Kashian and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-01-16 with total page 788 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FOREST ECOLOGY Authoritative resource covering traditional plant ecology topics and contemporary components such as climate change, invasive species, ecosystem services, and more Forest Ecology provides comprehensive coverage of the field, focusing on traditional plant ecology topics of tree structure and growth, regeneration, effects of light and temperature on tree physiology, forest communities, succession, and diversity. The work also reviews abiotic factors of light, temperature, physiography (landforms and topography), soil, and disturbance (especially fire), and provides coverage of ecosystem-level topics including carbon storage and balance, nutrient cycling, and forest ecosystem productivity. The 5th edition of Forest Ecology retains the readability and accessibility of the previous editions and includes important additional topical material that has surfaced in the field. All topics are approached with a landscape ecosystem or geo-ecological view, which places biota (organisms and communities) in context as integral parts of whole ecosystems that also include air (atmosphere and climate), topography, soil, and water. As such, the book fills a niche utilized by no other forest ecology text on the market, helping students and researchers consider whole ecosystems at multiple scales. Sample topics covered in Forest Ecology include: Contemporary components of forest ecology, including climate change, invasive species, diversity, ecological forestry, landscape ecology, and ecosystem services. Characteristics of physiography important for forest ecosystems, including its effects on microclimate, disturbance, soil, and vegetation. Genetic diversity of woody plants and genecological differentiation of tree species, including the importance of hybridization, polyploidy, and epigenetics. Site quality estimation using tree height and ground flora, and multiple-factor approaches to forest site and ecosystem classification and mapping. Forest Ecology is a highly accessible text for students, but it also serves as an excellent reference for academics. In addition, practitioners of forest ecology can also harness the information within to gain better insight into the field for practical application of concepts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FEXPERT is a rule-based computer program developed to facilitate application of the Northwestern Ontario Forest Ecosystem Classification (NWO FEC) System. At each plot, the program guides the user through a decision process to classify that stand into one of 38 vegetation types and one of 22 soil types. A fact sheet describing any given soil or vegetation type can be retrieved from an extensive help system, which incorporates almost all of the information contained in field guides as Hypertext documents. This manual contains a guide to the installation and requirements of FEXPERT, a tutorial on using the software, details on FEXPERT commands, and a description of how the NWO FEC keys were converted to the input windows used in FEXPERT. Sample screens are included.
Download or read book Forest Ecosystem Classification for Manitoba written by Christopher Andrew Zoladeski and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a forest and soil classification system for the commercial forest areas of Manitoba. The classification system consists of 33 vegetation types and 22 soil types, which are identified using keys. Each vegetation and soil type together with pertinent management interpretations is described on fact sheets. Management interpretations are made for silviculture (season of harvest, harvest type, species selection, site preparation method, vegetation competition type and level) and wildlife habitat (caribou forage potential, moose summer feeding potential, moose thermoregulation potential and moose winter feeding potential). To assist in plant identification, 60 common or indicator understory plants are illustrated.
Download or read book Indicator Plant Species in Canadian Forests written by Gordon S. Ringius and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant species that convey information about the ecological nature of a site are known as indicator species. A wide variety of site conditions including soil nutrient and moisture regimes, forest humus types, soil reaction, and general soil type can be determined from the presence of plant species.This field guide is an introduction to the concept of plants as indicators of environmental conditions within Canada's forests. It provides information on the identification, ecology, geographic range, and indicator value of 80 selected vascular plants, mosses, and lichens. Indicator Plant Species in Canadian Forests will be of interest to resource planners, foresters, ecologists, botanists, naturalists, and anyone who wishes to know more about forest plants and what they tell us about the sites they occupy.
