The map encourages students to take a walk in the woods. In the process, they will strengthen their critical thinking skills and become more spatially and geographically literate.McClelland, SiobhanCanadian Geographic
A new campaign called Boreal Birds Need Half provides a vision and a road map to get there. Saving Canada's Boreal Forest Described as "an exceptional yacht with a unique style", Le Boreal has been designed to create a "subtly revisited" nautical mood. Mersey peek at star 'megayacht' In...
1–4). However, the novelty of this study lies not only in characterizing the soil microbial communities of - and the effects of fire in - the northern boreal forest in Canada across a very wide range of conditions. The inclusion of burn severity is an important but often “missing piece...
The slope of the two indices that comprise the stability index also provided information as to where the forest is recovering from prior disturbances. The stability analyses and associated spatial datasets are available in an interactive web-based mapping app. that can be used to map disturbed ...
The differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR) derived from remotely sensed images captured by the Landsat suite of satellite sensors is one widely accepted method to quantify and map burn severity in various forest ecosystems (Van Wagtendonk et al., 2004). The dNBR is the difference in ...
The aim of this study was to develop an imputing method to map forest stand attributes (height and volume) using panchromatic aerial photographs with a spatial resolution of 30 cm and Landsat images. The method was tested on several sites in Qu茅bec, Canada, that are dominated by black ...
2010 and 2020. The global stand age map was generated from ref.69using forest inventories and biomass and climate data, which were divided into several age classes (0–150+ with a decadal interval) at a spatial resolution of 1 km. A digital elevation model with 30 m spatial resolution...
This map can be considered a static land cover map, in which temporary changes in land cover (for example, from forest to herbaceous vegetation after fire) are excluded, unless they remain permanent. Static maps have commonly been used to attribute boreal forest characteristics or change to land...
This study investigates the spatial mosaic of stand ages produced by high-intensity stand-replacing fires in the mixed-wood boreal forest of western Canada. A high-resolution, accurately dated, time-since-fire map for a large (3461 km(2)) contiguous area is used to produce the landscape ...
Finally, species richness can be predicted using hillslope position, time-since-fire, and canopy coverage, respectively, from a Digital Elevation Model (DEM), a time-since-fire map, and a LANDSAT TM image. 展开 关键词: disturbance ecosystem management fire hillslope mixedwood boreal forest ...
