Description

Aquatic plants along lake shorelines are important for maintaining healthy lake ecosystems. They provide habitat for fish spawning, nesting habitat for waterfowl and shorebirds, rearing sites for young fish and wildlife, and they protect shorelines from wave and wind erosion. Aquatic vegetation also performs many important biological functions that maintain lake water quality, such as filtering runoff water that enters the lake.

Description

Ambient air quality objectives are established as part of the Alberta air quality management system. The purpose of this document is to summarize selected primary literature on the effects of sulphur dioxide exposure on vegetation. This document is not intended to be a comprehensive review of the published literature. Instead an attempt was made to select work that would provide relevant information for reviewing the existing ambient air quality objective for sulphur dioxide for Alberta.

Description

The purpose of this vegetation survey was to identify and describe all associated plant community types found within the Sundance Provincial Park and associated special management zone. As part of this process other features of unique, sensitive or disturbed nature were noted. These included, but were not limited to, new disturbance features (cutlines, well site roads, quad trails, and hiking/horse trails) significant wildlife habitat areas or migration corridors (including mineral licks and hibernacula), or areas of high biodiversity (old growth forests and highly diverse plant communities). The information collected as part of this vegetation survey not only provides a detailed assessment of the vegetation communities that occur in the region, but also identifies areas of high use, sensitive areas that may be in need of additional protection, or other significant features that may be of ecological, biological or cultural interest. This is a well-used provincial park with a number...

Description

These guidelines provide a clear, consistent and integrated information package about using native plant materials throughout Alberta where the revegetation goal is to re-establish a native plant community. The guidelines are not prescriptive; site specific circumstances, including landowner preferences and land use objectives, have to be considered when planning revegetation projects. It is recognized that programs involving revegetation using native species will continue to evolve with better science, technology and sources of native plant materials, and that revegetation approaches can be modified to fit different needs.

Description

Presents the results of a project to conduct terrain and vegetation resource inventories of the Notikewin South area. This information was required as data for land use evaluations and resource planning and management. The Notikewin South study area is located in northwestern Alberta and comprises some 15,000 square kilometres of land bounded on the south and east by the Peace River, on the west by the Alberta-British Columbia border and on the north by the Notikewin River.
