This base case assessment examines the future implications of environmental risk for the Morice Land & Resource Management Plan area in British Columbia if management practices used today continue to be used without change in the future. The report first describes the environmental setting of the area, including its climate and ecological units, and outlines the extent to which various biogeoclimatic zones are represented within the area. The report then describes likely future consequences of current land use practices on forest age structure, focal wildlife species (grizzly bear, caribou, fisher, northern goshawk, mountain goat, moose, American marten, bull trout), special & rare ecosystems, and aquatic ecosystems & fish. Where available data warrant, trends are predicted in time by computer simulation modelling, and where not, trends are discussed subjectively.
