Book Emulating Natural Forest Landscape Disturbances

Download or read book Emulating Natural Forest Landscape Disturbances written by Ajith H. Perera and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-11 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is a natural forest disturbance? How well do we understand natural forest disturbances and how might we emulate them in forest management? What role does emulation play in forest management? Representing a range of geographic perspectives from across Canada and the United States, this book looks at the escalating public debate on the viability of natural disturbance emulation for sustaining forest landscapes from the perspective of policymakers, forestry professionals, academics, and conservationists. This book provides a scientific foundation for justifying the use of and a solid framework for examining the ambiguities inherent in emulating natural forest landscape disturbance. It acknowledges the divergent expectations that practitioners face and offers a balanced view of the promises and challenges associated with applying this emerging forest management paradigm. The first section examines foundational concepts, addressing questions of what emulation involves and what ecological reasoning substantiates it. These include a broad overview, a detailed review of emerging forest management paradigms and their global context, and an examination of the ecological premise for emulating natural disturbance. This section also explores the current understanding of natural disturbance regimes, including the two most prevalent in North America: fire and insects. The second section uses case studies from a wide geographical range to address the characterization of natural disturbances and the development of applied templates for their emulation through forest management. The emphasis on fire regimes in this section reflects the greater focus that has traditionally been placed on understanding and managing fire, compared with other forms of disturbance, and utilizes several viewpoints to address the lessons learned from historical disturbance patterns. Reflecting on current thinking in the field, immediate challenges, and potential directions, the final section moves deeper into the issues of practical applications by exploring the expectations for and feasibility of emulating natural disturbance through forest management.

Book Calf Survival of Woodland Caribou in a Multi predator Ecosystem

Download or read book Calf Survival of Woodland Caribou in a Multi predator Ecosystem written by David D. Gustine and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The proximate role of predation in limiting caribou (Rangifer tarandus) populations is well documented, but the long-term effects of predation pressure on selection of calving areas and the subsequent impacts to calving success remain unclear. We examined the relationships among calf survival, predation risk, and vegetation characteristics among 3 calving areas and across spatial scales in the Besa-Prophet River drainage of northern British Columbia"--page 1.

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 book was released on 2007 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To address key uncertainties regarding the persistence of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Ontario, The Centre for Northern Forest Ecosystem Research (CNFER), an applied research section of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR), conducted a Forest-dwelling Woodland Caribou Research Workshop in Barrie, Ontario, from October 3-November 2, 2006. The objective of the workshop was to review and refine issues related to direct and indirect effects of habitat disturbance into rigorous scientific hypotheses in support of preliminary designs for an adaptive management approach to the conservation of caribou in Ontario. This document reports on the workshop's activities and results.--Includes text from document.
