Guide describing the lowland and montane ecosystems (below 1200 m in the south and 1050 m in the north) in B.C.'s northeastern corner. The units in the guide are described in the biogeoclimatic ecosystem classification system. The guide includes a description of the biogeoclimatic units included and differentiates them, and then describes the site units within each variant, and their management interpretation.

This guidebook shows how the distribution of common forest plants changes across British Columbia's northern interior landscape due to variations in climate, terrain, and site & soil conditions. The guide contains information on 215 plant species or groups that occur in the major biogeoclimatic zones of the Prince Rupert, Prince George, and northern Cariboo forest regions. The information, arranged first by category of plant (trees; shrubs; dwarf shrubs, herbs, & ferns; grasses & sedges; mosses, liverworts, & lichens) then by scientific name, is in the form of grids that depict the predominant moisture & nutrient regimes where a species will most likely occur in old or mature forests. Also included are notes on indicator values and habitat associations. Includes index of common & scientific names.

This guidebook has been prepared to help forest resource managers plan, prescribe, and implement sound forest practices that comply with the British Columbia Forest Practices Code. The information provided is to help users exercise professional judgment in developing site-specific management strategies and prescriptions to accommodate resource management objectives in the Prince George Forest Region. The first section of the guidebook covers the legislative authority, background, definitions, and procedures for species selection, stocking (including maximum density for conifers), establishment, and free growing. It also includes a listing of the relevant sections of the Code. The second section includes criteria tables for regional forest establishment and information for determination of free growing. The third section contains background and support information, forest health charts, and free growing damage standards.

An ecological classification system was developed for the mid-boreal ecoregions of Saskatchewan through the analysis of vegetation, soil, site, and forest productivity information. The hierarchical classification system has three levels - ecosite, ecosite phase, and plant community type. Thirteen ecosites are descrived with further details provided by subdivision into ecosite phase and plant community type. A soil type classification system that describes 17 soil types was also developed. Management interpretations were made for drought, excess moisture, hazard, frost heave hazard, soil temperature limitations, vegetation competition, windthrow hazard, productivity, and season of harvest. Colour photos and drawings for 103 common plants of the mid-boreal ecoregions of Saskatchewan are presented.

This Field guide describes the ecological units of the Rocky Mountain Trench, Prince George Forest Region. It represents aides to the identification of these units and management interpretations for each.
