Book Description
An ecological classification system was developed for Northern Alberta through the analysis of vegetation, soil, site, and forest productivity information. The hierarchical classification system has three levels - ecosite, ecosite phase and plant community type. Thirty-eight ecosites are described with further detail provided by subdivision into ecosite and ecosite phase and plant community type. A soil type classification system that describes 17 soil types was also developed. Management interpretations were made for drought, excess moisture, soil rutting hazard, soil compaction hazard, puddling hazard, soil erosion hazard, frost heave hazard, soil temperature limitations, vegetation competition, and windthrow hazard. Colour photos and drawings for 87 common plants of northern Alberta are presented.

Restoration and Reclamation of Boreal Ecosystems
Author: Dale Vitt
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139576828
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 427
Book Description
Boreal ecosystems contain one-third of the world's forests and stored carbon, but these regions are under increasing threat from both natural and anthropogenic disturbances. Written by leaders from the forefront of private, public and academic sectors, Restoration and Reclamation of Boreal Ecosystems emphasises a broad, conceptual approach to the specific application of empirical research into development planning, restoration and modelling of these ecosystems. The importance of this is highlighted at a time of global climate change, as these ecosystems act as carbon sinks. There is a focus on the reclamation of exploited ecosystems from a holistic standpoint, ranging from environmental and edaphic variables to the restoration of keystone flora. Recent advances in quantification of ecosystem services, such as habitat suitability and carbon storage modelling, are also detailed. The book contains case-studies which address how both historical and novel assemblages can provide ecosystem stability under projected climatic and land-use scenarios.

Field Guide to Ecosites of the Mid-boreal Ecoregions of Saskatchewan
Author: John David Beckingham
Publisher: UBC Press
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 468
Book Description
An ecological classification system was developed for the mid-boreal ecoregions of Saskatchewan through the analysis of vegetation, soil, site, and forest productivity information. The hierarchical classification system has three levels - ecosite, ecosite phase, and plant community type. Thirteen ecosites are descrived with further details provided by subdivision into ecosite phase and plant community type. A soil type classification system that describes 17 soil types was also developed. Management interpretations were made for drought, excess moisture, hazard, frost heave hazard, soil temperature limitations, vegetation competition, windthrow hazard, productivity, and season of harvest. Colour photos and drawings for 103 common plants of the mid-boreal ecoregions of Saskatchewan are presented.

Perspectives on Developing a Canadian Classification of Ecological Communities
Author: Serguei Ponomarenko
Publisher: Canadian Forest Service, Science Branch
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
This report argues that Canada needs a national ecological community classification that would include all types of biotic communities. The report first provides background on classification science, ecological terminology, and the groups & principles of different ecosystem classifications. It then reviews various approaches to classification of vegetation communities and the ecological classification systems that have been already developed in Canada. The final section discusses the development of a standard national ecological community classification for Canada, proposes a structure of the Canadian Classification of Ecological Communities, and evaluates options for development of a Canadian National Vegetation Classification based on the International Classification of Ecological Communities system.
