Ecological Regions of North America
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Biogeography
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
This volume represents a first attempt at holistically classifying and mapping ecological regions across all three countries of the North American continent. A common analytical methodology is used to examine North American ecology at multiple scales, from large continental ecosystems to subdivisions of these that correlate more detailed physical and biological settings with human activities on two levels of successively smaller units. The volume begins with an overview of North America from an ecological perspective, concepts of ecological regionalization. This is followed by descriptions of the 15 broad ecological regions, including information on physical and biological setting and human activities. The final section presents case studies in applications of the ecological characterization methodology to environmental issues. The appendix includes a list of common and scientific names of selected species characteristic of the ecological regions.

Ecosystem Management in the Boreal Forest
Author: Sylvie Gauthier
Publisher: PUQ
ISBN: 2760523829
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 574
Book Description
Forest Ecosystem Management. A management approach that aims to maintain healthy and resilient forest ecosystems by focusing on a reduction of differences between natural and managed landscapes to ensure long-term maintenance of ecosystem functions and thereby retain the social and economic benefits they provide to society.That is the definition of forest ecosystem management proposed in this book, which provides a summary of key ecological concepts supporting this approach. The book includes a review of major disturbance regimes that shape the natural dynamics of the boreal forest and gives examples from different Canadian boreal regions. Several projects implementing the forest ecosystem management approach are presented to illustrate the challenges created by current forestry practices and the solutions that this new approach can provide. In short, knowledge and understanding of forest dynamics can serve as a guide for forest management. Planning interventions based on natural dynamics can facilitate reconciliation between forest harvesting needs and the interests of other forest users.

Modelling Landscape-level Vegetation Dynamics in the Boreal Forests of Northwestern Ontario
Author: Norman Charles Kenkel
Publisher: Sault Ste. Marie : Ontario Forest Research Institute
ISBN:
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
Describes a study undertaken to develop a synoptic model of forest succession (vegetation dynamics) in the north-western Ontario boreal region. Successional trends were inferred using two complementary approaches: analysis of class size distributions of trees and species vital attributes, and enumeration of stands at different post-fire ages. A sample of 1,389 plots enumerated within a study area of about 184,000 square kilometres was used. Cover values and detailed information on edaphic and landform variables were collected from each plot. Model development included classification into one of 12 vegetation stand types, summarizing of successional trajectories for each stand type, and synthesis of the trajectories to create a synoptic forest succession model that recognizes two self-perpetuating forest canopy types.
