Field Guide to Ecosites of the Mid-boreal Ecoregions of Saskatchewan by John David Beckingham,D. G. Nielsen,V. A. Futoransky Pdf

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.

Field Guide to the Ecosites of Saskatchewan's Provincial Forests by M. S. McLaughlan,Robert Alexander Wright,R. D. Jiricka Pdf

"The forest ecosystems of Saskatchewan are represented at the site level with 81 ecosites that span Saskatchewan's four ecozones: Taiga Shield, Boreal Shield, Boreal Plain and Prairie. 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.

Ecological Classification of Saskatchewan's Mid-boreal Ecoregions Using Resource Maps and Aerial Photographs by John David Beckingham,Ian George William Corns,V. A. Futoransky,Northern Forestry Centre (Canada) Pdf

This guide has been developed to provide insight in applying ecological information to classify and map forest land in mid-boreal Saskatchewan. It begins with an overview of the province's ecological classification system and a review of the five types of information sources of ecological information. It then describes the four steps used to determine the ecosite phase level of a site from aerial photographs and associated sources. Section 5 contains keys to identifying the ecosite phase through the interpretation of resource information. Section 6 provides five examples of typical toposequences found in mid-boreal regions of Saskatchewan. Each example includes an aerial photo stereogram of the selected area, an example transect, a forest inventory and soil survey maps of the area, and interpreted landscape profile and summary tables. The final sections include references and a glossary. Appendices include lists of ecological units and soil types, information on the ecology & identification of tree species, and soil classification information.

The Ecoregions of Saskatchewan by G. A. Padbury,Donald F. Acton,Colette T. Stushnoff,University of Regina. Canadian Plains Research Center,Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan Environment and Resource Management Pdf

This book describes the ecoregions of Saskatchewan, following a hierarchical framework for terrestrial ecosystems in Canada. The introduction reviews ecological land classification and the various interrelated factors that are involved in the development of ecosystems: geology, water, climate, vegetation, soils, wildlife, and human impacts. The main section describes the province within the context of the four ecozones and 11 ecoregions that were identified in the framework. For each ecoregion, the book provides a description of the physical setting, such as geology & climate, as well as the biological features that have developed in response to this physical environment. The impact of human activities on the ecology of the area concludes each of these descriptions. Appendices include lists of animal & plant species found in Saskatchewan and a glossary.

Field Guide to Ecosites of West-central Alberta by John David Beckingham,Ian George William Corns,J. H. Archibald,Northern Forestry Centre (Canada) Pdf

An ecological classification system was developed for west-central 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. Forty-four 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 106 common plants of west-central Alberta are presented. An index listing common and scientific names of illustrated plants is included. Keys to ecological variables, definitions of soil horizon designations, and a glossary are also included.

Forest Ecosystem Toposequences in Manitoba by Christopher Andrew Zoladeski,Northern Forestry Centre (Canada) Pdf

Describes ten toposequences on common landforms of the boreal forests of Manitoba, seven of which are representative of the Manitoba Model Forest in the south-east of the province. The others are single examples of the Sandilands, Duck Mountain, and Thompson areas. The toposequences are composites of transects and sample plots used for the development of the Manitoba Forest Ecosystem Classification. Each toposequence describes and graphically presents typical associations of forest types and soil conditions that change along topographic gradients. Each is accompanied by an aerial photo stereograph. Includes a glossary, an appendix of common and scientific names of plants, and a complete listing of Manitoba vegetation and soil types.
