Custom query: ''https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/eda72382-7404-4da0-bfea-a38ae66a8ebcGuide to range plant community types and carrying capacity for the dry and central mixedwood subregions in Alberta. 5th approximation2023-10-30T16:44:39.854440+00:00The 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 4th approximation of the Range Plant Community Types and Carrying Capacity for the Dry and Central Mixedwood Pub.

It has been designated a Species of Special Concern in Alberta and Canada due to the contraction of its range and small, possibly declining, population. Habitat alteration is the primary threat to this species. This plan provides background information on the species and outlines a set of objectives and management actions to help meet the goal of maintaining the current distribution and population of long-billed curlew in Alberta. Conservation management plans are developed for Species of Special Concern in Alberta, to provide guidance for land and resource management decisions that affect the species and their habitat. They are intended to be a resource tool for provincial and regional fish and wildlife, land and resource management staff.2015-06-29T21:44:15.782382+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/41efb435-2cbf-4c80-9f0c-15bcb103cdc9Alberta's public land trail guide2023-11-02T19:14:26.905389+00:00Alberta's public land has a wide variety recreation trails and areas to meet the needs of campers, OHV riders, hikers, cyclists, equestrian users, hunters and anglers – from curated experiences to rustic adventures on designated trails on public land.

Seventh approximation2023-11-15T22:30:26.361715+00:00The Montane subregion is one of the most diverse subregions in the province of Alberta, with a mosaic of different vegetative communities. This diversity means that these lands are valued for a multitude of uses, including summer range for livestock. However, there is little information available on how grazing influences the plant community. To help develop range management prescriptions for the province, carrying capacity guides are being developed, including a plant classification system, for each natural and subregion in the province. This guide represents an analysis of the Montane subregion, identifying 182 plant community types. The dominant plant species, canopy cover, environmental conditions, response to grazing, forage production and carrying capacity are outlined for each type. This edition is a revision of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th approximations of the Range plant community types and carrying capacity for the Montane subregion.2017-11-07T21:12:54.417974+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/ad9734c9-e923-4234-95c5-3fdb71f5bfd3Range plant community types and carrying capacity for the montane subregion. Sixth approximation2023-11-15T22:35:09.827398+00:00The Montane subregion is one of the most diverse subregions in the province of Alberta, with a mosaic of different vegetative communities. This diversity means that these lands are valued for a multitude of uses, including summer range for livestock. However, there is little information available on how grazing influences the plant community. To help develop range management prescriptions for the province, carrying capacity guides are being developed, including a plant classification system, for each natural and subregion in the province. This guide represents an analysis of the Montane subregion, identifying 141 plant community types. The dominant plant species, canopy cover, environmental conditions, response to grazing, forage production and carrying capacity are outlined for each type. This edition is a revision of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th approximations of the Range plant community types and carrying capacity for the Montane subregion.2016-03-03T19:48:40.477768+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/738838fe-14c8-4f32-bed6-46ee4fec15ebRange plant community types and carrying capacity for the subalpine and alpine subregions. Third approximation2023-11-15T22:37:42.629150+00:00The Subalpine subregion is a Rocky Mountain altitudinal vegetation zone. The valley bottoms of the region are used for recreational horseback riding and commercial trail riding operations. As well, in the southern part of the subregion, extensive areas of the subalpine are used to forage cattle. However, there is little information available on how grazing influences the plant community. To help develop range management prescriptions for the province, carrying capacity guides are being developed, including a plant classification system, for each natural and subregion in the province. This guide represents an analysis of the Alpine subregion, identifying over 100 plant community types. The dominant plant species, canopy cover, environmental conditions, response to grazing, forage production and carrying capacity are outlined for each type.2016-03-03T20:00:57.862904+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/88175b73-a9d6-42f2-a4e2-cef6bbe7b339Range plant community types and carrying capacity for the Upper Foothills subregion of Alberta. Sixth approximation2023-11-15T22:43:26.130631+00:00The Upper Foothills Natural Subregion is found elevationally below the Subalpine and above the Lower Foothills subregions. In the valley bottoms the shrub and grassland community types are a classic example of multiple use land, providing summer range for livestock, prime habitat for many species of wildlife, productive watersheds, and recreational areas. Despite the importance of these vegetation types for livestock grazing, there is little information available on how grazing affects their production. As a result a carrying capacity guide was developed to provide a framework that would easily group the vegetative community types. It is hoped this classification system can be used by field staff to assess carrying capacity and evaluate range condition on lands within the region. Eighty-three plant community types are represented. The dominant plant species, canopy cover, environmental conditions, response to grazing, forage production and carrying capacity are outlined for each type.2018-03-12T18:01:09.523799+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/810a319f-cf53-47dd-8256-63014c85d140Alberta's guide to outdoor recreation on provincial Crown land2023-11-27T16:02:06.747395+00:00Alberta's Guide to Outdoor Recreation on Provincial Crown Land is a resource for Albertans and other visitors that outlines current provincial rules and regulations for designated outdoor recreation activities and locations.2020-08-31T22:06:32.464239+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/bccea7e7-9e83-43a1-a454-f940b7f96864Funding opportunities for Indigenous climate leadership2024-01-05T21:51:51.780442+00:00Assists Indigenous communities, organizations, and their membership in finding appropriate funding resources in relation to Alberta’s Climate Leadership Plan to increase Indigenous participation in the new lower carbon economy.
