Download or read book Plant Indicator Guide for Northern British Columbia written by Leisbet J. Beaudry and published by Ministry of Forests, Research Program. This book was released on 1999 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidebook shows how the distribution of common forest plants changes across British Columbia's northern interior landscape due to variations in climate, terrain, and site & soil conditions. The guide contains information on 215 plant species or groups that occur in the major biogeoclimatic zones of the Prince Rupert, Prince George, and northern Cariboo forest regions. The information, arranged first by category of plant (trees; shrubs; dwarf shrubs, herbs, & ferns; grasses & sedges; mosses, liverworts, & lichens) then by scientific name, is in the form of grids that depict the predominant moisture & nutrient regimes where a species will most likely occur in old or mature forests. Also included are notes on indicator values and habitat associations. Includes index of common & scientific names.

Download or read book Field Guide to the Autecology of Selected Crop Trees and Competitor Species in Northeastern Ontario written by R. W. Arnup and published by Timmins, Ont. : Northeast Science & Technology. This book was released on 1995 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual contains information on seven commercially important tree species and on 44 plant species that may compete with these crop tree species in northeastern Ontario. The introduction provides background information for the species comparison tables and species summaries that follow, and explains the format of the manual. The tables give information on each species' autecology in the context of the Forest Ecosystem Classification (FEC) system for northeastern Ontario. In addition, each potential competitor is evaluated with respect to their competitive effects and mechanisms, their response to disturbance and silvicultural treatments, and their potential value for wildlife. The crop tree species are evaluated with respect to their response to competition and their ability to respond to release. Line diagrams are included to aid in field recognition. The appendix contains a glossary and a key to FEC names and descriptions.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • From the world's leading forest ecologist who forever changed how people view trees and their connections to one another and to other living things in the forest—a moving, deeply personal journey of discovery Suzanne Simard is a pioneer on the frontier of plant communication and intelligence; her TED talks have been viewed by more than 10 million people worldwide. In this, her first book, now available in paperback, Simard brings us into her world, the intimate world of the trees, in which she brilliantly illuminates the fascinating and vital truths--that trees are not simply the source of timber or pulp, but are a complicated, interdependent circle of life; that forests are social, cooperative creatures connected through underground networks by which trees communicate their vitality and vulnerabilities with communal lives not that different from our own. Simard writes--in inspiring, illuminating, and accessible ways—how trees, living side by side for hundreds of years, have evolved, how they learn and adapt their behaviors, recognize neighbors, compete and cooperate with one another with sophistication, characteristics ascribed to human intelligence, traits that are the essence of civil societies--and at the center of it all, the Mother Trees: the mysterious, powerful forces that connect and sustain the others that surround them. And Simard writes of her own life, born and raised into a logging world in the rainforests of British Columbia, of her days as a child spent cataloging the trees from the forest and how she came to love and respect them. And as she writes of her scientific quest, she writes of her own journey, making us understand how deeply human scientific inquiry exists beyond data and technology, that it is about understanding who we are and our place in the world.

Download or read book Ecology and Management of Sitka Spruce written by N. Merle Peterson and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sitka spruce, the largest of the world's spruces, is an important component of British Columbia's coastal forests. Its ecology gives it a special place in the sustainable management of the province's forests. However, in west coast forestry it is poorly known in comparison with its main coniferous companions -- Douglas-fir, western redcedar, and western hemlock. As an important international forestry resource, it is crucial that Sitka spruce -- its ecology and the ecosystems in which it occurs -- be clearly understood by those who are involved with its management.
