  ication; (2) to be reluctant to handle unnecessary technical jargon; and (3) to be unfamiliar with basic lichen taxonomy. Based on these assumptions, the keys in this manual: emphasize morphological characters over chemical and spore characters; incorporate technical terms only where necessary; and give more or less equal weight to phylogenetic relatedness and morphological similarity. Accompanying the keys are approximately 350 line drawings. These are intended to convey species concepts based on typical material. In most cases, they illustrate only those portions of a thallus that bear the characters expressed in the adjacent key. Illustrations of whole lichens may be found in Hale (1979), MacKinnon et al. (1992), Pojar and MacKinnon (1994), Thomson (1984) and Vitt et al. (1988). The manual's second objective is to briefly summarize the ecology, distribution and frequency status of the province's foliose and squamulose lichens. Until the status and ecological requirements of li ...

• Recommended vernacular names for common plants of British Columbia.
  http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hre/pubs/pubs/0770.htm
  The main objective of this publication is to recommend common names for the indicator plants used in Ecology Programme publications. For some species, there are many common names - for others, there may be only one or even none in "common" usage. For species with many vernacular names, the choice of any one name is often arbitrary, however, I tried to choose the name that is most commonly used in floras and plant guides relevant to British Columbia. For species with no real "common" name, I used whatever I could find or whatever has been suggested to users of the Ecosystem Classification system at Ministry training courses. This list does not present common names for all plant species in British Columbia, but only for those that: 1) have "indicator" value; 2) are not rare or localized in distribution; and, 3) could be useful in ecosystem identification as they do not require a compound microscope or specialized chemicals for identification (as do most mosses, lichens and liverworts). The term "indicato ...

• British Columbia Forest Service's Science Program: Science to support sustainability.
  http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hre/pubs/pubs/1182.htm
  The prime mandate of the BC Forest Service's Forest Science Program is to bring scientific innovation to bear on sustainable forest management. For over 80 years, its staff has been an integral part of many significant changes to forest policies and practices. Decentralized researchers are in direct contact with local forest managers and resource users throughout the province, ensuring a focus on operationally relevant research as well as providing an accessible source of best available scientific knowledge to support policies and practices. Five core research activities within the program, including growth and yield, silviculture, forest genetics, ecology and earth sciences, yield valuable short and long-term information about how to sustain ecosystems, enhance timber production and manage forests for a variety of resource uses. In cooperation with partners and clients in universities, institutes, government agencies, the forest industry and others in both research and extension, program scientists and st ...

• Riparian Areas: Providing Landscape Habitat Diversity
  http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hre/pubs/pubs/1214.htm
  perspective and longer timeframes are necessary when planning land-use activities in riparian zones. The Forest Practices Code acknowledges the importance of landscape ecology concepts by enabling district managers to designate planning areas called landscape units, each with specific landscape unit objectives. The Biodiversity Guidebook (B.C. Ministry of Forests and B.C. Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks 1995a), a component of the Code, recommends procedures to maintain biodiversity at both the landscape and the stand level. These procedures, which use principles of ecosystem management tempered by social considerations, recognize that the ecological processes of riparian habitats must be sustained to maintain landscape-level biodiversity. This extension note is the fifth in a series designed to raise awareness of landscape ecology concepts and to provide background for the ecologically based forest management approach recommended in the Biodiversity Guidebook. The focus here is on riparia ...

• Seral Stages across Forested Landscapes: Relationships to Biodiversity
  http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hre/pubs/pubs/1215.htm
  Various plants and animals rely on different forest ecosystem "stages" to meet their habitat needs. Grizzly bears, for example, can range over hundreds of square kilometres in search of the food resources available in open and young forests before hibernating deep in mature forests. Some plant species can only develop on open, treeless, freshly disturbed sites, while certain canopy-dwelling insects spend their entire lifetime on the broad lichen- and moss-covered limbs of a single ancient spruce. During spring and summer, deer may sample tender herbs in clearcut areas, but, in severe winters, retreat several kilometres to protective old-growth stands. Landscapes and the ecosystems that compose them "age" through time. The process of forest aging called "succession" transforms the composition of forested ecosystems as biotic communities respond to and modify their environment. Succession is an important topic in landscape ecology because of its significant effects on landscape diversity and the subseque ...
