Ecological sites of the Lower Foothills subregion. Fourth approximation

Description

The Lower Foothills Natural Subregion occupies a broad northwest-to-southeast belt between the Bow River Valley to the south and Grande Prairie to the north, with outliers in the Swan Hills and Pelican Mountains to the east, and the Saddle Hills to the north. This guide represents the analysis of 2120 plots described in the Lower Foothills subregion, representing 119 community types. These community types were described in 15 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 (AWCS), new soil type descriptions and successional changes on harvested deciduous community types.
