  • 7.9 Vegetation 7.9.1 Regional Setting
    VICTORY NICKEL INC. 7.9 Vegetation This subsection summarizes the 2007 and 2008 vegetation survey programs completed at and surrounding the Minago Project site. URS Canada Inc. (URS, 2008d) conducted a detailed vegetation survey on the Minago Project site in 2007 and Roche Consulting Group (Roche, 2008a) conducted a vegetation survey along a 24.4 km stretch on Highway 6, just south of the site’s main entrance and along a potential railway siding near Ponton, Manitoba. Prior to a detailed description of the vegetation survey methodology and results, characteristics of regional and local settings are summarized below in terms of ecozone and ecoregion. 7.9.1 Regional Setting – Ecozone Regionally, the Minago Project Site is located within the Boreal Plains ecozone (URS, 2008d). This ecozone is a wide band that extends from the Peace River area of northeast British Columbia to the southeast corner of Manitoba. This zone is located immediately south of and is distinctly different from the Boreal Shield ecozone, which is bedrock controlled. The Boreal Plains ecozone is not bedrock controlled and contains fewer lakes. The dominant coniferous species in this ecozone are white and black spruce, jack pine and tamarack. Deciduous species consist predominantly of white birch, trembling aspen and balsam poplar, particularly in transition zones to the prairie grasslands to the south. Black spruce and tamarack are more abundant along the northern transition zone to the Boreal Shield ecozone. 7.9.2 Local Setting – Ecoregion The Minago Project Area including the Site occupies approximately 2,428 hectares, west of Highway 6, and is located within the Mid-Boreal Lowland ecoregion of the northern section of the Manitoba Plain (URS, 2008d).

  • The Ecology and Management of Moose in North America
    THE ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF MOOSE IN NORTH AMERICA Douglas H. PIMLOTT Department of Lands and Forests, Maple, Ontario, Canada Concepts of the status, productivity and management of North American moose (Alces alces) have changed greatly during the past decade. The rapidity of the change is illustrated by the published record. TUFTS (1951) questioned, « Is the moose headed for extinc­ tion ? » and discussed the then current belief that moose populations had seriously declined across much of the continent. Five years later, PETERSON (1955: 217) stated, « It appears almost inevitable that the days of unlimited hunting for moose must soon pass from most of North America. » He also suggested (1955 : 216) that a kill of 12 to 25 per cent of the adult population is the highest that would permit the maintenance of the breeding population. Four years later, I showed (PIMLOTT, 1959a) that moose in Newfoundland could sustain a kill of twice the magnitude suggested by Peterson. I also suggested (PIMLOTT, 1959b) that the North American moose kill could be very greatly increased-in spite of progressive liberalization of hunting regulations over much of Canada and a marked increase in annual kill. It is not realistic to assume that the status of the species has changed, within the decade, from threatened extinction to annual harvests of approximately 40,000 and potential harvests of two to three times that number. Although moose populations have increased in some areas since 1950, there is little doubt that the changed think­ ing about moose management is more the result of the increase in knowledge than of any other factor.

  • A Summary of Vulnerability of Habitats and Priority Species
    Climate Change and Biodiversity in Maine: A Summary of Vulnerability of Habitats and Priority Species Andrew Whitman Phillip deMaynadier Barbara Vickery Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences ME Department of Inland Fisheries and The Nature Conservancy Andrew Cutko Wildlife Sally Stockwell ME Department of Agriculture, Conservation, Steve Walker Maine Audubon and Forestry Maine Coast Heritage Trust Robert Houston U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Introduction As we watch temperatures climb and experience extremes in weather, it is clear that climate change has become a tangible threat to Maine’s ecosystems. Long-term research has shown that Maine’s wildlife are already responding to climate change.1 We will likely lose some of Maine’s native wildlife and observe permanent changes to their habitats in the coming decades. By 2100, average temperatures may increase 3° to 13°F. In response, the predicted northward shift of species ranges has begun. Rising temperatures will allow pests such as Winter Moose Tick (Dermacentor albipictus) and Hemlock Wooly Adelgid (Adelges tsugae) to become more common, potentially harming native wildlife and their habitats. Drought may occur more frequently and impact all habitats, especially wetlands. Sea level will likely rise three to six feet and will flood coastal marshes and beaches. Recognizing these challenges, a team of Maine scientists assessed the vulnerability of wildlife and habitats to a changing climate and then identified general strategies to reduce their vulnerability.2 Other states have taken this first step as they aim to update their state wildlife action plans (SWAPs) by 2015. States originally created SWAPs to set conservation priorities and obtain additional federal funding for wildlife.

Central Yakutia with the unique permafrost landscapes is a rich and large territory of sites of interest for the development of “scientific tourism” for explorers, researchers or eco-natural-tourists. There are three types of scientific tourism relevant for Central Yakutia: the aim of which is scientific research; the aim of which is practical training and education of students of educational institutions; the aim of which is introducing the history of scientific research, unique natural resources, historical and cultural heritage to a wide range of people. The objects of interest of scientific tourism – landscapes of Khangalassky region – are classified according the selected types of scientific tourism using methods of secondary sources analysis and field research.

    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps. If you are looking for a certain part of Russia Find the appropriate index map. These show the borders of the detailed maps for different parts of the country.

According to the results of surveys compiled a social portrait of the man in the Arctic.Together with the statistical offices in 2015 and 2016 held the republican life quality survey on the following areas: education, health, migration and employment, the financial position of households, ownership of national languages, following the national traditions of the peoples of the North.The developed methodology, survey tools can be used in other regions of the Russian Arctic, and abroad.
