This Field guide describes the ecological units of the Rocky Mountain Trench, Prince George Forest Region. It represents aides to the identification of these units and management interpretations for each.
Guide describing the lowland and montane ecosystems (below 1200 m in the south and 1050 m in the north) in B.C.'s northeastern corner. The units in the guide are described in the biogeoclimatic ecosystem classification system. The guide includes a description of the biogeoclimatic units included and differentiates them, and then describes the site units within each variant, and their management interpretation.
Ecological Land Classification (ELC) refers to the description of land resources at a range of spatial resolutions (i.e. global to local) and for a range of purposes or values. The emerging science of ELC is in fact a very carefully integrated blend of vegetation and earth sciences, climatology, cartography and ecology with a range of new technologies and methodologies including computer-based geographic information systems, remote sensing and simulation modelling. This publication defines the current `state-of-the-art' of ELC. It provides particular insight into the role of ELC in current and future forest resource planning and management, and emphasizes its application and usefulness at various spatial scales, for a variety of geographic locations, and under a range of management scenarios/constraints. The book is an invaluable and substantial reference source about the current trends in ELC and will be of particular value to ecologists, foresters, geographers, resource managers, wildlife biologists, GIS and remote sensing specialists, educators and students.
A silviculture prescription is a site-specific plan that describes the forest management objectives for an area. A prescription prescribes the method for harvesting the existing forest stand and a series of silviculture treatments that will be carried out to establish a free growing crop of trees in a manner that accommodates other resource values as identified. This document describes the contents of what silviculture prescription plans must contain in British Columbia to comply with the Forest Practices Code. It includes information on general requirements for the plan as well as specific requirements for tenure identification, management objectives, degree of consistency with other plans, ecological and resource information, forest health assessment and prescription, soil conservation, actions to accommodate forest resource values, silvicultural systems, harvesting, fire hazard abatement, silviculture treatments, stocking standards, and mapping.
