Download or read book Monitoring Wetland Integrity and Restoration Success with Avifauna in the Prairie Pothole Region of Alberta Canada written by Daina Anderson and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to high wetland losses, and in recognition of the ecological functions and services provided by wetland ecosystems, updated wetland policy in Alberta focuses on protecting these important system and mitigating losses. A means to evaluate ecological health at wetlands in Alberta is needed to aid wetland protection in the province. With mitigation directed under the Alberta wetland policy, an evaluation of restoration progress is necessary to provide further guidance for wetland mitigation. An index of biological integrity (IBI) is a commonly used multi-metric bioassessment tool that uses biological indicators to predict ecosystem integrity or health. I developed IBIs for the Grassland and Parkland regions of Alberta from metrics derived from the avian community. I additionally created an IBI for both regions, to determine if regionally specific IBIs were more appropriate. I evaluated the responsiveness of avian metrics to a disturbance index I created. I successfully created IBIs for each region. I found that separate IBIs were superior to a joint IBI due to regional differences in the reference condition between the Parkland and Grassland. However, I could not validate the Grassland IBI with an independent dataset, most likely due to inaccuracies in remotely sensed land cover data and a small sample size for validation. To capture the current state of restored wetlands in the Parkland region, I compared the waterbird community composition in restored marshes to natural marshes that ranged a gradient in anthropogenic disturbance in the Parkland region of Alberta. I found that the avian community composition differed significantly between natural and restored wetlands. Restored wetlands had a unique assemblage of avian species. Using ordinations, I found strong support for an association of the waterbird community with both local- and landscape-level habitat variables. My work will help guide restoration practices and highlights the potential risks posed by adoption of wetland mitigation banking programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Ramsar Convention was adopted as the first of the modern global nature conservation conventions and, today, is a highly regarded and active multilateral environmental agreement. The mission of the Ramsar Convention is the wise use of all wetlands through local and national actions and international cooperation, as a contribution towards achieving sustainable development throughout the world. Canada joined the Convention in 1981 and has a long reputation of making constructive inputs to the programs of the Convention, such as policy development, program assessment, peatlands and carbon conservation, grasslands wetland restoration, economic valuation, mitigation issues and other topics. Canada has designated 37 Wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar sites) under the Convention, including the second largest in the world, Queen Maud Gulf in Nunavut"--Plain language summary.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents proceedings of a conference on the ecologically based reclamation and restoration of lands and waters disturbed by human activities. Topics of papers included restoration of mined lands, disturbed wetlands, soils disturbed by seeding and irrigation practices, lands and waters disturbed by removal and dumping of urban snow, and more general topics including effects of climate change over a major river basin and the role of environmental impact assessment in ecological restoration. The final paper is an evaluation of the ecological restoration situation in Canada. Although papers were presented from most parts of Canada, emphasis was on the Canadian prairies.

Download or read book Water Policy and Governance in Canada written by Steven Renzetti and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-31 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an insightful and critical assessment of the state of Canadian water governance and policy. It adopts a multidisciplinary variety of perspectives and considers local, basin, provincial and national scales. Canada’s leading authorities from the social sciences, life and natural sciences address pressing water issues in a non-technical language, making them accessible to a wide audience. Even though Canada is seen as a water-rich country, with 7% of the world’s reliable flow of freshwater and many of the world’s largest rivers, the country nevertheless faces a number of significant water-related challenges, stemming in part from supply-demand imbalances but also a range of water quality issues. Against the backdrop of a water policy landscape that has changed significantly in recent years, this book therefore seeks to examine water-related issues that are not only important for the future of Canadian water management but also provide insights into transboundary management, non-market valuation of water, decentralized governance methods, the growing importance of the role of First Nations peoples, and other topics in water management that are vital to many jurisdictions globally. The book also presents forward-looking approaches such as resilience theory and geomatics to shed light on emerging water issues. Researchers, students and those directly involved in the management of Canadian waters will find this book a valuable source of insight. In addition, this book will appeal to policy analysts, people concerned about Canadian water resources specifically as well as global water issues.
