Download or read book The Cumulative Effects of Development and Land Use at Prince Edward Island National Park written by Todd Leon Keith and published by Minister of Public Works and Government Services. This book was released on 1996 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prince Edward Island National Park is a narrow coastal strip on the Island's north shore, established in 1937 as a recreational seaside park. The purpose of the Park within Parks Canada's representative system plan is to protect an example of the Maritime Plain natural region, in particular the coastal barrier beaches and dune systems. The agency's ability to protect the Park's resources is being inhibited by the popularity of the beaches as recreational destinations, and the cumulative impact of visitor pressure, Park developments, and Park practices threatens the sustainability of the Park ecosystem. This study addresses the concern over cumulative environmental impacts in the Park and includes an introduction on cumulative effects assessment, an extensive literature review, and assessment of cumulative effects of previous, current, and proposed developments in the Park. The significance of the impacts on key resources is discussed and mitigation measures are suggested with regard to natural habitat, aquatic systems, flora, and fauna. Recommendations are made for preserving park habitat and establishing monitoring programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its long and well-documented history, Prince Edward Island makes a compelling case study for thousands of years of human interaction with a specific ecosystem. The pastoral landscapes, red sandstone cliffs, and small fishing villages of Canada’s “garden province” are appealing because they appear timeless, but they are as culturally constructed as they are shaped by the ebb and flow of the tides. Bringing together experts from a multitude of disciplines, the essays in Time and a Place explore the island’s marine and terrestrial environment from its prehistory to its recent past. Beginning with PEI’s history as a blank slate – a land scraped by ice and then surrounded by rising seas – this mosaic of essays documents the arrival of flora, fauna, and humans, and the different ways these inhabitants have lived in this place over time. The collection offers policy insights for the province while also informing broader questions about the value of islands and other geographically bounded spaces for the study of environmental history and the crafting of global sustainability. Putting PEI at the forefront of Canadian environmental history, Time and a Place is a remarkable accomplishment that will be eagerly received and read by historians, geographers, scholars of Canadian and island studies, and environmentalists.

Download or read book Soil Health and Land Use Management written by Maria C. Hernandez Soriano and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-01-25 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soils play multiple roles in the quality of life throughout the world, not only as the resource for food production, but also as the support for our structures, the environment, the medium for waste disposal, water, and the storage of nutrients. A healthy soil can sustain biological productivity, maintain environmental quality, and promote plant and animal health. Understanding the impact of land management practices on soil properties and processes can provide useful indicators of economic and environmental sustainability. The sixteen chapters of this book orchestrate a multidisciplinary composition of current trends in soil health. Soil Health and Land Use Management provides a broad vision of the fundamental importance of soil health. In addition, the development of feasible management and remediation strategies to preserve and ameliorate the fitness of soils are discussed in this book. Strategies to improve land management and relevant case studies are covered, as well as the importance of characterizing soil properties to develop management and remediation strategies. Moreover, the current management of several environmental scenarios of high concern is presented, while the final chapters propose new methodologies for soil pollution assessment.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Prince Edward Island government appointed a Round Table to develop a resource land use strategy for the province. This document reviews the work and initial findings of the Round Table, as a basis for further discussion. The following critical issues identified by government are reviewed: tourism and the character of the island landscape; maintaining biodiversity; water quality; soil quality; converting pasture and woodland to more intensive production; pesticide use and conflicts between neighbours; clearcutting and inadequate regeneration of forest land; loss of resource lands and urbanization; and productive use of Crown resource lands. Under each issue, the current situation, trends, and indicators are noted. The document then describes avenues for change, including private sector and government initiatives in such areas as soil conservation and sustainable farming practices. Finally, the document lists indicators that could be used to measure progress toward certain resource land use objectives.
