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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the systems available in Manitoba for forest inventory and ecosystem classification and to investigate the viability of linking the Manitoba Forest Resource Inventory (FRI) with the Forest Ecosystem Classification (FEC) for Manitoba using a GIS algorithm. The algorithm used information from the FRI to reinterpret an FEC vegetation type for each of the FRI tree stands (or polygons). The FRI is the standard forest inventory tool that is widely used in Manitoba, but primarily contains information that is useful to the forestry industry (such as timber volumes). The FEC is a classification system that contains more comprehensive information regarding the forest ecosystem but has not been mapped across Manitoba. The algorithm did link the FEC vegetation type descriptions with the FRI polygons but only a weak agreement (16.03%) existed between the vegetation types derived by the algorithm and vegetation types classified on the ground in the field study. The Common Understory Species that are listed in the FEC for each vegetation type identified in the study area were assessed for utility in classifying ecosystem types. The results indicated that Boreal forest species are common across a wide variety of forest ecosystem types in the study area and the species listed as "Common" in the FEC were not good indicators of FEC vegetation type. The main conclusion from the study was that all of the options available in Manitoba for classifying forest ecosystems, including the FEC and FRI, do not fulfill the need for a spatially-broad, comprehensive, classification of forest ecosystems at the stand level.
Download or read book Forest Ecosystem Toposequences in Manitoba written by Christopher Andrew Zoladeski and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes ten toposequences on common landforms of the boreal forests of Manitoba, seven of which are representative of the Manitoba Model Forest in the south-east of the province. The others are single examples of the Sandilands, Duck Mountain, and Thompson areas. The toposequences are composites of transects and sample plots used for the development of the Manitoba Forest Ecosystem Classification. Each toposequence describes and graphically presents typical associations of forest types and soil conditions that change along topographic gradients. Each is accompanied by an aerial photo stereograph. Includes a glossary, an appendix of common and scientific names of plants, and a complete listing of Manitoba vegetation and soil types.

Book excerpt: This report summarizes the results of the second of 2 pilot projects to develop and test a site classification and forest land mapping system for the province of Manitoba. The project was conducted at Sandilands from 1988-89 and classified the pilot area within the ecoregions-subregions of Adams (1985); mapped ecological site units at 1:50,000 scale based upon land forms, soils, and plant community types; and characterized map units by productivity estimates of site index and mean annual increment of dominant and sub-dominant site types within map units using cruise and permanent sample plot data. Non-productive wetland ecosystems were not classified. A detailed description of the methods used are included.

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.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecological Land Classification (ELC) refers to the description of land resources at a range of spatial resolutions (i.e. global to local) and for a range of purposes or values. The emerging science of ELC is in fact a very carefully integrated blend of vegetation and earth sciences, climatology, cartography and ecology with a range of new technologies and methodologies including computer-based geographic information systems, remote sensing and simulation modelling. This publication defines the current `state-of-the-art' of ELC. It provides particular insight into the role of ELC in current and future forest resource planning and management, and emphasizes its application and usefulness at various spatial scales, for a variety of geographic locations, and under a range of management scenarios/constraints. The book is an invaluable and substantial reference source about the current trends in ELC and will be of particular value to ecologists, foresters, geographers, resource managers, wildlife biologists, GIS and remote sensing specialists, educators and students.
