Description

This table provides an estimate of the average value of coniferous and deciduous future reforestation costs that the Joint Energy/Utility and Forest Industry Management Committee (JMC) has agreed to include in the determination of timber damages for each hectare by forest cover type. This is in isolation from the other table components.

Description

This table provides an estimate of the average total value of coniferous and deciduous timber damages for each hectare by forest cover type. The amounts in these tables recognize the collective value of the standing timber, the associated annual allowable cut and the cost of future reforestation.

Description

The stand volume tables provide an estimate of the average volume of coniferous and deciduous timber found on a hectare forest land for each forest cover type in Alberta. These averages are prepared separately for the Foothills and Boreal natural regions.

Ecological sites of the Boreal Subarctic subregion. Second approximation

Description

The Boreal Subarctic Natural Subregion is found on elevated plateaus of far northern Alberta, and encompasses about three per cent of the Boreal Forest Natural Region. It is dominated by open... More ≫

Description

The Boreal Subarctic Natural Subregion is found on elevated plateaus of far northern Alberta, and encompasses about three per cent of the Boreal Forest Natural Region. It is dominated by open black spruce bogs and peatland complexes with frozen organic soils and permafrost terrain. This guide represents the analysis of 142 grass, shrubland, conifer and deciduous plots described in the Boreal Subarctic Natural Subregion. The 142 plots represent 53 community types within 11 ecological sites. The dominant plant species, canopy cover, soils and environmental conditions are outlined for each type. Included in this approximation is a crosswalk table to the Alberta Wetland Classification System and new soil type descriptions.

Description

The Boreal Subarctic natural subregion is found on elevated plateaus of far northern Alberta, and encompasses about three per cent of the Boreal Forest Natural Region. It is dominated by open black spruce bogs and peatland complexes with frozen organic soils and permafrost terrain. Moderately well drained upland areas have a variety of upland forests. It is characterized by short, cool summers and long, very cold winters. It is hoped the classification system presented in this resource can be used by field staff to assess the ecology of the sites and develop management prescriptions on lands within this region. Fifty-three community types are listed. The dominant plant species, canopy cover, soil group and subgroup, and environmental conditions are outlined for each type.

Guide to range plant community types and carrying capacity for the Dry and Central Mixedwood subregions in Alberta. 8th approximation

Description

The Dry and Central Mixedwood subregions cover nearly 40 per cent of the province. The vegetative communities in these subregions are important because they provide summer range for livestock, prime habitat for many species of wildlife, productive watersheds, recreational areas and timber production. However, there is limited information on their ecology and succession under the influence of livestock grazing. This guide provides a framework that can be used to easily group the vegetative community types. It is hoped the classification systems presented can be used to assess the ecology of the sites and develop integrated management plans within each region. This edition is a revision of the 6th approximation of the Range Plant Community Types and Carrying Capacity for the Dry and Central Mixedwood and the 7th approximation with minor corrections.

General design guidelines for a constructed ‘habitat’ wetland – Boreal Forest Natural Region of Alberta

Description

This document provides general design parameters for reclaiming planned borrow and aggregate excavations into constructed habitat wetlands for the Boreal Forest Natural Region of Alberta,... More ≫

Description

This document provides general design parameters for reclaiming planned borrow and aggregate excavations into constructed habitat wetlands for the Boreal Forest Natural Region of Alberta, specifically for the Dry Mixedwood Natural Subregion (Figure 1.0), that may be suitable for the Alberta Transportation’s Wetland Habitat Bank Initiative. These sites may be used by the Department elsewhere to mitigate for wetland disturbance when avoidance and minimization is not an option.
