Fauna of Red and White Pine Old-growth Forests in Ontario
Author: Daniel Albert Welsh
Publisher: Sault Ste. Marie : The Institute
ISBN:
Category : Forest animals
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
The Old Growth Forest Fragmentation and Biodiversity Program is designed to address knowledge gaps, improve communication among partners, and address the needs of the committees involved in the policy development process. This report is part of the old growth program that deals with the problem of the fauna associated with old growth pine. To provide direction to the planned study of fauna of red and white pine old-growth forests in Ontario, the opinions of 35 selected members of the scientific community who had experience in forest ecosystem ecology and expertise in a particular faunal group were surveyed via two questionnaires. Recommendations are included.

Spatial Characteristics of Eastern White Pine and Red Pine Forests in Ontario
Author: Ajith H. Perera
Publisher: Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. : Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
This study quantified the landscape characteristics of eastern white pine and red pine forests in Ontario using a combination of LANDSAT TM imagery and aerial photographs to develop a spatial data base of 275,000 sq km. Analyses on spatial distribution, representativeness, configuration, and fragmentation were conducted in a GIS environment. Results are presented by pine type by both Hills' ecological hierarchy and the administrative hierarchy of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.

Development of a Spatial Forest Data Base for the Eastern Boreal Forest Region of Ontario
Author: Ontario. Ministry of Natural Resources
Publisher: Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. : Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources
ISBN:
Category : Information storage and retrieval systems
Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
In 1991, a spatial forest database over large regions of Ontario was initiated as the basis for research into forest fragmentation and biodiversity using data generated from the digital analysis of LANDSAT thematic mapper satellite data integrated into a geographic information system (GIS). The project was later extended into the the eastern segment of the Boreal forest system. This report describes preparation of the spatial forest data base over the eastern Boreal Forest Region that extends from the northern boundary of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Forest Region and the southern margin of the James Bay Lowland, between the Ontario-Quebec border and a point west of Michipicoten on Lake Superior. The report describes the methodology used to produce the data base and results, including mapping of water, dense and sparse conifer forest, mixed forest, dense and sparse deciduous forest, poorly vegetated areas, recent cutovers of less than 10 years, old cutovers and burns, recent burns of less than 10 years, wetlands, bedrock outcrops, agriculture, built-up areas, and mine tailings.

Ontario's Old-growth Forests
Author: Michael Henry
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Who would have thought that dwarf cedar trees growing on the Niagara Escarpment could live to be nearly 2000 years old. Or that the small bonsai cedars lining the shorelines of the Canadian shield measure their ages in centuries. Old growth pine trees in Temagami are often over 10 stories tall, but these are young sprouts compared to trees of yesteryear, which were as much as 20 stories high. Ontario's old growth forests are fantastical and mysterious, but who knows where to find one. Most people in this province live within an hour's drive of an old growth forest, but do not know it. The ecology of these stands is engrossing. Fire scars on these trees, for example, provide an indisputable record of forest fire activity in Ontario. Small hemlock saplings, over 100 years old, have been growing at infinitesimal rates, waiting for a gap to open in the forest canopy.

Forest Biodiversity in North, Central and South America, and the Caribbean: Research and Monitoring
Author: J.A. Comiskey
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9781850709640
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 798
Book Description
This is the second of two high-level, data-rich volumes from the massive Smithsonian/MAB Biological Diversity Program documenting the latest findings on forest biodiversity. In original contributions, some three hundred scientists from over forty countries discuss socioeconomic aspects, ecological monitoring and assessment, forest dynamics, growth trends, dry forests, species richness of woody regeneration and of vascular plants, hurricane impact, tropical cloud forests, Landsat-TM satellite mapping, and quantitative ethnobotany. The book covers first the research and monitoring methodologies for the New World and then the results of individual research and integrated studies on all aspects of forest biodiversity in North and South America and the Caribbean.
