Ottawa, ON. x + 145 p. http://www.biodivcanada.ca/default.asp?lang=En&n=137E1147-1 © Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, 2016 Aussi disponible en français i PREFACE The Canadian Councils of Resource Ministers developed a Biodiversity Outcomes Framework1 in 2006 to focus conservation and restoration actions under the Canadian Biodiversity Strategy.2 Canadian Biodiversity: Ecosystem Status and Trends 20103 was the first report under this framework. It presents 22 key findings that emerged from synthesis and analysis of background technical reports prepared on the status and trends for many cross-cutting national themes (the Technical Thematic Report Series) and for individual terrestrial and marine ecozones+ of Canada (the Ecozone+ Status and Trends Assessment Report Series). More than 500 experts participated in data analysis, writing, and review of these foundation documents. Summary reports were also prepared for each terrestrial ecozone+ to present the ecozone+-specific evidence related to each of the 22 national key findings (the Evidence for Key Findings Summary Report Series). Together, the full complement of these products constitutes the 2010 Ecosystem Status and Trends Report (ESTR). This report, Mixedwood Plains Ecozone+ Evidence for Key Findings Summary, presents evidence from the Mixedwood Plains Ecozone+ related to the 22 national key findings and highlights important trends specific to this ecozone+. It is based on the Mixedwood Plains Ecozone+ Status and Trends Assessment—with an emphasis on Ontario,4 as well as further synthesis done to specifically address the national key findings. Additional information was provided by the Quebec Region of Environment Canada. The report is not a comprehensive assessment of all ecosystem-related information. The level of detail presented on each key finding varies and important issues or datasets may have been missed. As in all ESTR products, the time frames over which trends are assessed vary—both because time frames that are meaningful for these diverse aspects of ecosystems vary and because the assessment is based on the best available information, which is over a range of time periods. Many experts from a broad range of disciplines, including university researchers, government scientists, and renewable resource and wildlife managers, contributed to the technical report as authors and reviewers (see Acknowledgements section). This key finding summary report was also reviewed by federal and territorial government scientists and managers and, in part or as a whole, by several university researchers. ii Ecological classification system – ecozones+ A slightly modified version of the Terrestrial Ecozones of Canada, described in the National Ecological Framework for Canada,5 provided the ecosystem-based units for all reports related to this project. Modifications from the original framework include: adjustments to terrestrial boundaries to reflect improvements from ground-truthing exercises; the combination of three Arctic ecozones into one; the use of two ecoprovinces – Western Interior Basin and Newfoundland Boreal; the addition of nine marine ecosystem-based units; and, the addition of the Great Lakes as a unit. This modified classification system is referred to as “ecozones+” throughout these reports to avoid confusion with the more familiar “ecozones” of the original framework.6 The boundary for the Mixedwood Plains is the same in both frameworks. iii Acknowledgements Content for this report for the Ontario portion of the ecozone+ is drawn heavily from Mixedwood Plains Ecozone+ Status and Trends Assessment—with an emphasis on Ontario.4 Specialists from the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et Faune du Québec as well as Environment Canada and Agricultural and Agri-Food Canada contributed to several key findings as both authors and reviewers extending the coverage beyond Ontario for those key findings. Reviews of versions of this summary report were provided by scientists and resource managers from relevant provincial and federal government agencies.

  • Algonquin Park: the Human Impact
    Algonquin Park is a very special place to many people. Although it is one of the oldest parks in Canada, in the heart of the Canadian Shield, and within easy driving distance of several million people, it still retains a wilderness character. Within its boundaries wolves still hunt moose and deer, beaver maintain dams and neotropical warblers raise their young deep in its pine, spruce and fir woodlands. In addition, the Park is the source of employment for many people who live nearby, both as a source of jobs within the Park, and as a result of the forest management that continues to provide wood for houses and other products made from trees. As one of the most The purpose of this book From its beginning in the last part of the 19th recognized Parks in is to compile a series century, the Park has been a source of economic Canada, Algonquin of “State of the Park” benefits to people and a place for people to rest and renew themselves in a natural setting.
