DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This guide provides a framework for classifying wetlands in northwestern Ontario using vegetation and environmental features. The classification is intended to help resource managers make informed decisions about wetland management and conservation. It consists of keys, factsheets, ordinations and environmental data summaries for 36 wetland communities (W-types). The classification is based on the analysis of vegetation, soil and water data from field samples collected in plots in northwestern Ontario wetlands.

Field sampling provided the raw data upon which the ecosite classification was built. Nearly 1700 semi-permanent relevés were established in 69 of the province's 80 forested ecodistricts. Each relevé provided information about the cover-abundance and growth form of each plant encountered, forest mensuration data, and soil and site characteristics. The ecosite classification provides summaries of the site attributes for each ecosite within the four ecozones; it also illustrates the relationship among the ecosites, within an ecozone, through a two-way matrix of moisture and species richness values. This ecosystem classification facilitates better integration of forest management disciplines by providing a common ecosystem language that forms an explicit operational framework for resource managers. Brief descriptions and ecological interpretations are also provided for each ecosite and usually include significant features and/or a statement about the possible successional trajectory for the ecosite in the absence and presence of disturbance."--Document.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The growing popularity of the broad, landscape-scale approach to forest management represents a dramatic shift from the traditional, stand-based focus on timber production. Ecology of a Managed Terrestrial Landscape responds to the increasing need of forest policy developers, planners, and managers for an integrated, comprehensive perspective on ecological landscapes. The book examines the "big picture" of ecological patterns and processes through a case study of the vast managed forest region in Ontario. The contributors synthesize current landscape ecological knowledge of this area and look at gaps and future research directions from several points of view: spatial patterns, ecological functions and processes, natural disturbances, and ecological responses to disturbance. They also discuss the integration of landscape ecological knowledge into policies of forest management policies, particularly with respect to Ontario's legislative goals of forest sustainability. Ecology of a Managed Terrestrial Landscape is the first book to describe the landscape ecology of a continuously forested landscape in a comprehensive manner. It is written for instructors and students in forest management, wildlife ecology, and landscape ecology, and for forest managers, planners, and policy developers in North America.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Guide to assist in the recognition of vegetation and soil features of forest ecosystems in north-western Ontario using a classification system that enables the allocation of any forest ecosystem to one of 40 vegetation types and one of 22 soil types. Provides an orientation to the vegetation classification; describes the vegetation types and their determination, including a key and factsheets for classifying stands to vegetation types; provides keys and factsheets for classifying soil types; and gives a brief overview of the relationships among vegetation and soil types in north-western Ontario as well as background information on potential applications of the classification. Also contains aids for describing or recognizing important soil features and many of the plant species used in the allocation keys and factsheets.
