Description

In June 2011, the updated 2010 Reclamation Criteria for Wellsites and Associated Facilities for Cultivated Lands, Forested Lands, and Native Grasslands were released. The Reclamation Criteria Advisory Group recommended that the 2010 criteria be reviewed periodically and updated as necessary as knowledge of ecosystem processes improves. Throughout the 2011 field season, questions relating to the three 2010 Criteria along with their assessment tools were tracked and these questions and answers have been compiled into this document. Other frequently asked questions on the application form and peatlands have also been included.

Description

This document presents ecologically based, reference-age invariant polymorphic height growth and site index models for major Alberta tree species. The models were developed using tree sectioning data from dominant and codominant trees. They can be used to predict the following: 1. Tree height from site index and breast height age, 2. site index from tree height and breast height age, 3. years needed for a tree to grow to a specified height, 4. height growth intercept. Since the models were fitted for the province as a whole and for groups of newly classified Natural Regions of Alberta, they can also be used to examine the regional differences of the height growth pattern. Relationships among breast height age, stump age and total age were also established so that compatible height growth and site index predictions can be made from any type of tree age. Tables and computer programs for predicting height growth and site index were prepared, along with a brief description of how to use...
