Roosevelt Elk - Habitat Capability Living in Winter Raster Tile - Data - South Coast SBOT

Roosevelt Elk Capability - Living in winter season, South Coast Region. Habitat Capability – ability of the habitat, under the optimal natural (seral) conditions to provide elk life requisites, irrespective of the current condition of the habitat. Estimate of the highest potential value of a particular habitat and is useful in providing predictive scenarios for various habitat management options. Capability classification of these areas are based on what the ecosystems would be like if they reverted from their present state back to a non-intensive management state. A 6-class rating scheme was used given the high level of understanding of elk habitat use. Classes 1 -3 are the optimal habitat. Classes 4 -6 are the least optimal habitat

CMHC Primary Rental Market (BC)

Primary rental market information, including number of rental housing units, rental prices, and rental vacancy rates for the primary rental market in select areas* is available from CMHC's _Housing Market Information Portal (HMIP)_(__www.cmhc.ca/hmiportal__)

__Note__: When collecting data from the HMIP for housing needs reports, ensure the location is selected at the _Census Subdivision (CSD) level_. In BC, individual CSDs equate to individual municipalities and regional district electoral areas. 

Guidance on using the HMIP is now available (see full guide and cheat sheet below). 

*Rental market data is not available for many municipalities and regional district electoral areas with smaller populations. In such cases, local governments are not required to collect or include that information in their housing needs reports.

Fertilization Forest Carbon Initiative Projects

Nutrient deficiency limits how fast and large trees grow and is thought to be common across B.C.’s forests. To boost forest productivity, the province has been fertilizing forests for decades. By reducing nutrient deficiency, periodic applications of nitrogen and other essential nutrients benefits forest growth and increases the amount of carbon they store. Prior to the establishment of FCI, approximately 17,000 hectares of forests were fertilized annually. Additional fertilization through FCI is projected to more than double the annual area treated in B.C. by 2020.

Fibre Utilization Forest Carbon Initiative Projects

Fibre utilization projects aim to eliminate the practice of slash pile burning, while supporting the B.C. bioenergy and pulp/paper industry. Instead of burning wood waste in piles, this fibre can be transported off-site for use in short- (e.g. paper) and long-lived wood products (e.g. lumber) or used as a source of energy in place of fossil fuels. By making use of wood waste that would otherwise be burned, FCI fibre utilization projects lead to immediate GHG emission reductions and economic growth and diversification.

Road Rehabilitation Forest Carbon Initiative Projects

Resource roads provide access for the forest industry, ranchers, other resource users, and the public for commercial and recreation purposes. However, these road networks are costly to maintain and have potential negative impacts on wildlife, water quality and fish habitat. Road rehabilitation projects help to restore the natural environment more quickly, increasing the amount of land base contributing to carbon sequestration, timber supply and reforestation objectives as well as co-benefits such as improving wildlife migration and habitat.

Tree Improvement Forest Carbon Initiative Projects

Young forests that are healthy, fast-growing and adapted to future climate, will capture additional carbon as they mature. Through tree breeding, tree seed orchards and associated activities, the tree improvement program provides improved seed for B.C.’s reforestation programs. Plantations established with improved seed grow faster, are better matched to the future climate and in some cases are more resistant to pests. Within FCI, a targeted set of tree improvement projects aim to increase the amount of improved seed available for planting programs in B.C., the gains associated with this seed and refine the matching of seed sources to future climate.

Reforestation Forest Carbon Initiative Projects

Reforestation projects involve planting new trees in areas recently subjected to a disturbance. Compared with natural forest regeneration, planting commonly accelerates the rate at which these areas return to being a carbon sink. The aim of FCI reforestation activities is to maximize long-term carbon sinks and minimize the amount of GHG emissions reaching the atmosphere.

2007 Environmental Trends Report: Geographically Based Data

This file contains most of the regional geographically-based data that were reported in the publication [Environmental Trends in British Columbia 2007](http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content?id=07DD1DCE7F784EFEBA5A26C32CB1646D). The spreadsheet is designed so topic, environmental indicator or geographical area can be selected from column filters to show the corresponding data. The purpose of this spreadsheet is to help users find environmental data that relates to a specific community or area. Geographically-based data were reported as either point data (site, city or town) or area data (watershed, regional district, ecosection or ecoprovince). Point data fits within all area classifications which we identified using iMap, an online mapping application. The column titled, "Data resolution" gives the original scale of data collection.

Agriculture Capability Mapping

The Agriculture Capability mapping dataset is the digitized equivalent of the legacy [Agriculture Capability Scanned Maps](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/agriculture-capability-scanned-maps), which date from the 1960's to the 1990s.  Agriculture Capability mapping is also known as 'Soil Capability for Agriculture' and 'Agricultural Capability' mapping.  

Agricultural Capability is an interpreted mapping product based on soil and climate information.  In general, climate determines the range of crops possible in an area and the soils determine the type and relative level of management practices required. This is legacy data and changes in climate are not reflected. For more information about the classification system see: [Land Capability Classification for Agriculture](http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/wld/documents/techpub/moe1/moem1.pdf).   

Use caution utilizing these legacy maps as the classifications were based on common land management practices and typical crops  of the 1960s-1990s era, and subsequent site specific land management practices (e.g. installation of drainage) may have modified the soil conditions since the mapping was completed.  

This Agriculture Capability legacy mapping is included in the [Soil Information Finder Tool (SIFT) mapping application](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content?id=CD4CD7204C2143A1B25695B071AA989A). The SIFT application  provides more detailed climate data (e.g. Growing Degree Days, Frost Free Period (5 C), (1960-1990 climate normals).  The SIFT 'Soil query tools' may be useful for identifying areas with specific 'growing conditions' of interest based on soils present (soil name), soil texture, drainage, coarse fragment content, slope, elevation, growing degree days and frost free period.    

Note:  This Agriculture Capability Mapping dataset is based on soil mapping at 1:100,000, 1:50,000 or 1:20,000 scale, and is more detailed than the 1:250,000 scale Canada Land Inventory (CLI) Agricultural Capability mapping (available [here](http://sis.agr.gc.ca/cansis/nsdb/cli/index.html)).
