Abstract: Global climate changes are affecting the entire landscape and although intended as eco- logical reservoirs and refugia, parks and protected areas are not immune to these changes. Provincially, BC Parks’ staff evaluate stressors and threats in conservation risk assessments and have identified myriad challenges amplified by climate change. The role of monitoring in the

Report 3 August 2010: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: British Columbia’s parks and protected areas – about 1,000 in all – are integral to the quality of life in this province. These areas help purify the water, provide habitat to rare and endangered species, regulate climate, and contribute to British Columbians’ physical, mental, economic, social and spiritual well-being.

All research activities, including inventory, monitoring and collections, within lands and marine areas administered by the Park Act or Ecological Reserve Act require a valid research permit. Permit issuance may be contingent upon other agencies granting other additional required permits, such as those overseen by the Wildlife Act. Research that includes inventory will endeavour to

Abstract Ontario Parks has adopted a structured stress identification process used by other jurisdictions. This pro- cess relies on the knowledge of protected area staff to identify possible stressors on an individual protected area basis. Knowing what stresses are occurring in an individual protected area or across portions of the protected area system will allow
We recently received the following email from Dr. Cindy Prescott , Professor of Forest Ecology and Ecological Restoration at UBC: ” I attach the paper that presents the results of this experiment comparing rates of decomposition of litter in BEC zones. I used Ecological Reserves – Trout Creek and Skihist – for the Ponderosa Pine
Of the 37,000 ha of crown grassland in the Okanagan region, 83.3% overall are under a grazing tenure, mostly grazing licenses. However, when considering just the Northern and Southern Okanagan Basins, 71.5% and 72.3% are under range tenures, respectively (Table 7). Crown grasslands with no range tenure in these basins can generally be found in
ECORESERVES AGAIN From The Log, Winter 2003, by Jim Pojar Late this past August [2003], towards the end of what was a magnificent summer in the northern hinterland, I was a guest at the marriage of two friends and colleagues-both keen botanists and naturalists. It was a moving ceremony, not least for me because the
The concept of involving citizen groups in the collection of long-term ecological baseline data is a relatively new idea for British Columbia. Currently, the demand for these data is on the increase, while the financial capacity and human resources of the traditional agencies collecting ecological data appears to be in long-term decline. As community-based ecosystem
