  • Appendices 7-24 (PDF, 3.4MB)
    APPENDIX 7.0 – Connectivity Introduction Connectivity is the ecological term that describes connections among habitats, species, communities, and ecological processes, enabling the flow of energy, nutrients, water, natural disturbances, and organisms and their genes at many spatial and temporal scales (Noss and Harris,1989; Noss,1991). Connectivity corridors support biodiversity by: maintaining opportunities for genetic exchange between populations (Merriam,1991): allowing for gradual shifts in the distribution of species and ecosystems in the event of catastrophic events; and enhancing the management of rare habitats for red and blue-listed species, other regionally significant species, and rare ecosystems that are under-represented in protected areas. There is significant evidence that connectivity corridors aid the continuity and stability of populations (including plants, small and large mammals, birds and other organisms). The loss of connectivity, often referred to as fragmentation, is considered by some to be the greatest threat to natural biodiversity (Harris,1984; Wilcox and Murphy,1985; Wilcove et al., 1986; Noss,1991). Fragmentation of habitat results in reduced habitat quality leading to isolated populations, reduced resilience and extirpations (Spies et al.,1994). Although there are challenges to carrying out studies of connectivity at a landscape level, the benefits of landscape corridors such as riparian areas are well documented. It is also possible that connectivity corridors may play a role in a changing climate by allowing plants and animals to make landscape-scale movements along the changing climate gradient to avoid adverse environments (Hobbs and Hopkins,1991). Connectivity is recognized as an appropriate indicator to measure how effectively a particular land use regime contributes to the maintenance of biodiversity and opportunities for the movement of species and genetic material over time and across landscapes.

  • Planning for Appropriate Recreation Activities
    Planning for Appropriate Recreation Activities In Mountain Environments: Mountain Biking in the Canadian Rocky Mountains Jan Mosedale Supervisor: Dr. Paul F. Wilkinson Volume 7, Number 5 FES Outstanding Graduate Student Paper Series January 2003 ISSN 1702-3548 (online) ISSN 1702-3521 (print) Faculty of Environmental Studies York University Toronto, Ontario M3J 1P3 © 2003 Jan Mosedale All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without written consent from the publisher. FES Outstanding Graduate Student Paper Series Abstract The Canadian Rocky Mountains offer spectacular settings and the necessary topographic features to be conducive to mountain biking. Calgary, one of the major population centres of the region, which has a proportion of mountain bike riders, is situated close to a high concentration of National Parks and other protected areas. The protected areas are therefore an important component of the local and regional outdoor recreation system. However, recreation can impose considerable stress on the parks ecosystems and is often incompatible with their mandate. The study combined the Visitor Activity Management Process with the Appropriateness Model in order to focus on policies regarding recreation and mountain biking in the Canadian Rocky Mountains and to offer a situational analysis, an examination of management strategies and specific recommendations. Mountain Biking in the Canadian Rocky Mountains i FES Outstanding Graduate Student Paper Series Chapter 1: Introduction One of the main trends endangering the fragile ecosystems of mountain regions1 is the increase of recreational use and tourism to these areas (Miller, 1998). Outdoor recreational activities are, however, extremely dependent on the quality and quantity of the natural resource: “the natural environment plays a fundamental part in attaining the outcomes and satisfactions sought from participation in certain forms of recreation” (Pigram & Jenkins, 1999: 32).
