Book excerpt: Forest fire is the primary natural disturbance process influencing the distribution and abundance of terrestrial lichens across ranges of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), including the Klaza Caribou Herd in west-central Yukon. I used stand and understory data to understand variation in the abundance of lichens in burns of various ages. Focusing on the distribution of individual caribou, I used a dataset of GPS collar locations to examine resource selection on the winter range and within burns. Results suggested that burns provided suboptimal habitat for the KCH until 50 years post-fire; however, analyses focused on the use of burned habitat indicated that they regularly encountered burns and opportunistically used remnant lichen within the burn perimeter. The relationship between caribou and burned landscapes is complex and non-linear indicating that wildlife managers should look beyond burn age to account for the effects of fire on the availability and quality of caribou habitat.
Download or read book Saskatchewan Fire Regime Analysis written by Marc-André Parisien and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes the number of forest fires in Saskatchewan, the area burned, the fire cycle, the fire season, causes of fires, potential fire intensity, and the fire climate for two types of ecological units: ecozones & ecoregions. Analyses are performed for all forested ecozones: the boreal plain, the boreal shield, & the taiga shield. For ecoregions, only those of the boreal plain were considered. The analysis is based on 20 years (1981-2000) of fire occurrence (ignition) data, a database of large (over 200 hectare) fires for 1945-2000, and 12 years (1990-2001) of daily fire weather observations. The results reveal contrasts in the fire regime of ecozones & ecoregions and illustrate important variations in the fire regime in both time & space.

Book excerpt: The study looks at the distribution, population status, andmanagement (including harvest) of caribou in southern and centralBritish Columbia; seasonal habitat use, food habits, and otheraspects of the animals' ecology; patterns of forest harvesting, silvicultural treatment, fire history, insect attack, and otherphenomena that affect caribou habitat; the pattern and age offorest stands available to caribou; the status of forestmanagement planning and the pressure on the timber supply in theTimber Supply Areas that support caribou; current policies forhabitat protection and the options that are available forintegrating caribou management and timber harvesting; factorsaffecting numbers of large ungulates; the extent and quality ofcurrently available information. The study makes recommendationsregarding research topics, hypotheses, priorities, and studyareas and the needs for management analysis.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes a study of an area near Lucy Lake, northern Ontario, where woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) have been found to utilise a previously logged forest. This of the first known incidences of such utilisation in continental North America. Forest stand conditions in the area are described and possible explanations provided for the apparent suitability of this forest as caribou winter habitat. Implications for forest management in the caribou range are discussed.
Download or read book The Ecological Importance of Mixed Severity Fires written by Dominick A. DellaSala and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2015-06-08 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ecological Importance of High-Severity Fires, presents information on the current paradigm shift in the way people think about wildfire and ecosystems. While much of the current forest management in fire-adapted ecosystems, especially forests, is focused on fire prevention and suppression, little has been reported on the ecological role of fire, and nothing has been presented on the importance of high-severity fire with regards to the maintenance of native biodiversity and fire-dependent ecosystems and species. This text fills that void, providing a comprehensive reference for documenting and synthesizing fire's ecological role. - Offers the first reference written on mixed- and high-severity fires and their relevance for biodiversity - Contains a broad synthesis of the ecology of mixed- and high-severity fires covering such topics as vegetation, birds, mammals, insects, aquatics, and management actions - Explores the conservation vs. public controversy issues around megafires in a rapidly warming world

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the first priority areas among joint East/West research programs is the rational use of natural resources and sustainable development of regions. In the boreal zone of North America and Eurasia forests are economically very important and, at the same time highly vulnerable to disturbances. Because of its size and ecological functions the boreal forest zone and its most dynamic disturbance factor - fire - play an important role in ecosystem processes on global scale. Interest within the global change research community in Northern Eurasia (Fennoscandia, European Russia, Siberia, and the Far East of Russia) has grown dramatically in the last few years. It is a vast area about which very little is known. It is a region where temperature rise due to anthropogenic climate forcing is predicted to be the greatest, and where the consequent feedbacks to the atmosphere are potentially large. In addition, it is poised to undergo rapid economic development, which may lead to large and significant changes to its land cover. Much of this interest in Northern Eurasia, as in the high latitude regions in general, is centerd on its role in the global carbon cycle, which is likely to be significantly affected under global change. New research initiatives between Western and Eastern countries have been designed to address a series of phenomena, problems and management solutions.
Download or read book Ecology of Wildfire Residuals in Boreal Forests written by Ajith Perera and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-07-21 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large and intense wildfires are integral to the globally important boreal forest biome. While much is known about boreal wildfires, the focus on forest remnants that either escape or survive these intense fires is a recent phenomenon: academics now study ecological processes of wildfire residuals, forest policymakers use their patterns to design harvest strategies, forest managers consider their economic value, and conservationists recognize their intrinsic ecological importance. Ecology of Wildfire Residuals in Boreal Forests is the first book to explore ecological patterns and processes of what does not burn within boreal wildfires. Following a brief introduction to the boreal forest biome, it discusses the processes that form wildfire residuals; how they are studied, with various approaches and methods; the types, extent, and ecological functions of wildfire residuals; and their role in forest management applications, all in the context of ecological scale. This book is a reference for researchers and graduate students studying boreal forest ecology, as well as for policymakers and forest managers. It adopts a non-reductionist perspective that will be of interest to scientists from conservation science, forest ecology, forest management, and timber production. Brings together fire behaviour, ecological scale, vegetation ecology, and conservation biology to provide a cross disciplinary, multi-scale, and an integrative discussion of forest fire residuals Captures the state of knowledge with a meta-analysis of research trends during the past few decades, with a comprehensive review of the literature, a compilation of key references, and a list of key topics relevant to the study of boreal wildfire residuals Identifies the major gaps and uncertainties in the present body of knowledge, including a critique of study techniques and reporting practices to date, and proposes a set of terms and definitions and a list of research questions and priorities Includes the authors’ observations and research experience from boreal Canada, and information extracted from interactions with North American and European ecologists, forest managers, and conservationists
