Book excerpt: This report begins with background on ecosystems, ecological land classification, the National Ecological Framework, and the ecological units used in Nova Scotia. It then describes Nova Scotia within the context of one ecozone (Atlantic maritime), eight ecoregions (maritime lowlands, Fundy coast, south-west uplands, Atlantic coast, Annapolis-Minas lowlands, south-central uplands, highlands, and Cape Breton highlands), and 25 ecodistricts. The ecoregions and ecodistricts are described in terms of climate, vegetation, landforms, soils, wildlife, and land use.

Book excerpt: The first part of this report describes the methodology used to map Nova Scotia's ecological land classification. It explains such matters as the ecological units in the classification, biophysical attributes of land classes, ecological factors defining hierarchical levels, the future development of the classification, and some of the terminology used. The second part contains detailed descriptions of the ecodistricts in each ecoregion of the province.
Download or read book Global to Local Ecological Land Classification written by Richard A. Sims and published by Springer Science & Business Media. 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.
Download or read book Forest Ecosystem Classification for Nova Scotia written by Kevin Stewart Keys and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide is part of the Nova Scotia forest ecosystem classification (FEC) system. It describes all currently recognized FEC Soil Types (STs) in the province along with related management interpretations. Although presented as a separate document, this guide is designed to be used in conjunction with provincial vegetation type and ecosite guides to support ecosystem based, stand-level forest management in Nova Scotia. Soil types were derived from 1,456 provincial FEC field plots sampled between 2000 and 2010. Data from an additional 102 non-FEC plots assessed by the Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre and NSDNR Wildlife Division were also used.--Document.

Download or read book Applications of Location Analysis written by H. A. Eiselt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, companion to Foundations of Location Analysis (Springer, 2011), highlights some of the applications of location analysis within the spheres of businesses, those that deal with public services and applications that deal with law enforcement and first responders. While the Foundations book reviewed the theory and first contributions, this book describes how different location techniques have been used to solve real problems. Since many real problems comprise multiple objectives, in this book there is more presence of tools from multicriteria decision making and multiple-objective optimization. The section on business applications looks at such problems as locating bank branches, the potential location of a logistics park, sustainable forest management and layout problems in a hospital, a much more difficult type of problem than mere location problems. The section on public services presents chapters on the design of habitats for wildlife, control of forest fires, the location of intelligent sensors along highways for timely emergency response, locating breast cancer screening centers, an economic analysis for the locations of post offices and school location. The final section of the book includes chapters on the well-known problem of locating fire stations, a model for the location of sensors for travel time information, the problem of police districting, locations of jails, location of Coast Guard vessels and finally, a survey of military applications of location analysis throughout different periods of recent history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Along the coastline of Nova Scotia is a band of ecologically unique coastal forest. The objective of this study is to describe the average stand condition, composition and ecology of the mature coastal forest. Improved understanding and delineation of the coastal forest will assist in sustainable forest management initiatives including old growth forest representation, forest management practices, wildlife habitat provisions and biodiversity representation. The experimental design is described and the results reported.

Download or read book Status of Pollinators in North America written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-05-13 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pollinators-insects, birds, bats, and other animals that carry pollen from the male to the female parts of flowers for plant reproduction-are an essential part of natural and agricultural ecosystems throughout North America. For example, most fruit, vegetable, and seed crops and some crops that provide fiber, drugs, and fuel depend on animals for pollination. This report provides evidence for the decline of some pollinator species in North America, including America's most important managed pollinator, the honey bee, as well as some butterflies, bats, and hummingbirds. For most managed and wild pollinator species, however, population trends have not been assessed because populations have not been monitored over time. In addition, for wild species with demonstrated declines, it is often difficult to determine the causes or consequences of their decline. This report outlines priorities for research and monitoring that are needed to improve information on the status of pollinators and establishes a framework for conservation and restoration of pollinator species and communities.
