Ecosystem Reports and Supporting Documents
|
The Omineca Ecosystem section has produced a variety of reports
and documents. These reports relate to the delivery of ecosystem
and habitat management program in the Omineca. These reports
range in content from methodologies to assess habitat quality
to discussions of land and resource use issues. This collection
of reports is meant to compliment a more extensive collection
of regional research results found on the Fish and Wildlife Publications section.

Prince
George Forest District Avalanche Tract Mapping Project
(Wolowicz, Mike 2003) This report presents the results
of avalanche tract mapping and a test of grizzly bear habitat
selection in mountainous
portions of the Prince George forest district. The purpose
of this project was to identify and map all avalanche tracts
below 1700 metres elevation. Once tracts were identified
and classified, a buffer of 100 metres maximum distance was
built around the resulting avalanche tract layer. |
