Description

The Alberta Foodborne Illness and Risk Investigation Protocol provides the framework for a coordinated response to outbreaks linked to food in Alberta, should a coordinated response be deemed necessary. It provides guidance in response to outbreaks linked to food products traded interprovincially, exported from Alberta or imported and distributed within Alberta, and is designed to be used in response to suspected or confirmed multi-jurisdictional foodborne illness outbreaks or food safety risks in Alberta. It was developed by Canada-Alberta Partners in Food Safety, a partnership agreement between the Government of Canada, represented by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada, and the Government of Alberta, represented by Alberta Health, Alberta Health Services, and Alberta Agriculture and Forestry.

Description

The standards in this publication are released under the Timber Management Regulation and represent rules to facilitate the collection, development, processing, documentation, tracking, custody and eventual use of forest reproductive materials. The forest genetic resources of Alberta are crucial to the long-term economic and ecological stability of the province. Without proper management, human activity can lead to genetic erosion, reduced fitness and loss of evolutionary resilience in wild populations, and can also reduce opportunities for development of new and useful plant varieties and gene products.

Description

Crown forest management plans (FMPs) detail when, where and how timber on Alberta Crown land will be managed in order to balance social, economic and environmental needs based on input from the public, Indigenous peoples and interest groups. A component of a FMP called a timber supply analysis (TSA) was prepared by Mercer Peace River Pulp Ltd. (Formerly known as Daishowa-Marubeni International Ltd.). The TSA covers PO5, P22 and S26 (Formerly PO1 and PO3) located in northern Alberta within the Upper and Lower Peace Land-use Framework planning regions; they fall within the Dry Mixedwood, Peace River Parkland, Lower Boreal Highlands and Central Mixedwood Natural Subregions.

Description

The data represents an assessment of biodiversity risk for the agricultural area of Alberta in 2002. Biodiversity risk refers to the loss of biological diversity, or the variety of plant and animal life in agricultural landscapes. This map, created in ArcGIS, tries to show where biodiversity could be threatened, such as in areas with significant habitat that coincide with areas of greater agricultural economic activity. Biodiversity is believed to affect the overall health of the environment.

Description

Derived Ecosite Phase (DEP) v2.0 is a digital and spatial representation of ecological sites and phases in those areas of Alberta where both Alberta Vegetation Inventory (AVI) and lidar are available. The AVI is an imagery-based digital inventory developed to identify the type, extent and conditions of vegetation, where it exists and what changes are occurring. The most up-to-date ecological site phases can be found in the Ecological Site Guides. Guides are broken into individual Natural Subregions. See the Cross Reference Section for additional information. This dataset is produced for the Government of Alberta and is available to the general public. Please consult the Distribution Information of this metadata for the appropriate contact to acquire this dataset.This dataset covers the areas of Alberta where there is both AVI and lidar coverage (mainly in the Green Area). AVIE and lidar-derived slope position were created by the Forest Stewardship and Trade Branch, Forestry...

Description

This map displays the distribution of Solonetzic soils in the agricultural region of Alberta. Solonetzic soils have developed on saline parent material that is high in sodium and have a characteristic hardpan layer that has formed in the subsoil. This hardpan is very hard when dry and has low permeability when wet. This results in restricted root and water penetration that may limit the productivity of these soils. Solonetzic soils occur in association with Chernozemic soils and, to a lesser extent, with Luvisolic soils.The Agricultural Region of Alberta Soil Inventory Database (AGRASID) soil landscape polygons that contained soils belonging to the Solonetzic Order were identified, and the areal extent of these soils was represented as a percentage of the total area using the following classes: greater than 30, 10 to 30 and less than 10. This resource was created in 2002 using ArcGIS.
