Blister rust infection - Jasper

Blister rust (Cronartium ribicola) is an introduced pathogen affecting whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) and limber pine (Pinus flexilis).  Whitebark pine is an endangered species protected under the Federal Species at Risk Act (SARA) and Limber pine is designated as an endangered species by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC). Infection and mortality rates of these species are increasing across their northern range. Every five years, data are collected from permanently marked plots to monitor infection levels across all mountain national parks and at various sites across provinces. Survey data are collected yearly to quantify infection in Jasper National Park to inform management action. Limber pine is not found in Jasper National Park.

Prescribed Fire Targets - Mount-Revelstoke

The following standard is used to evaluate Parks Canada Agency’s goal to manage wildland fire and conduct prescribed fire activities to restore and maintain the ecological integrity of park lands.  A 20% natural fire cycle is the set percentage that allows fire to play a role as a natural disturbance in ecosystems while being realistic and achievable considering physical and financial constraints, the variability in wildland fire regimes in MRGNP and the need to balance public safety. The 20% long term average was obtained by analysing the variation in area burned in national parks of different sizes, fire regimes and recent wildland fire management history. This area burn target should be achievable and maintained on a yearly basis, irrespective of wildland fire activity in the period of analysis. Finally, while 20% represents a minimum, it will be imperative to maintain a higher percentage to account for the variability in wildland fire and prescribed fire activity within a 20-year window.  Since the area burned by wildland fires will be variable, our goals will be to 1) apply fire through the use of prescribed fires at a rate to meet and maintain the 20% natural fire cycle within each park, and 2) trend towards a natural wildland fire cycle in each reference fire regime areas (RFRA), through actively managing wildfires on the landscape.

The AAFC Productivity Account for Canadian Agriculture

The AAFC Productivity Account for Canadian agriculture is an annual time-series database, covering the years 1961-2011, that is comprised of price index and constant dollar implicit quantity series for gross output and input aggregates. The data are defined at the national level only – i.e. for the whole of Canada. These data are used to estimate a total factor productivity (TFP) index for Canadian agriculture, which is the ratio of total gross output to total input, where both output and input are constant dollar implicit quantities. Average growth in the TFP index, referred to as TFP growth, can be estimated using a variety of methods; the growth rate reported in AAFC publications is estimated using OLS.

Canada’s Energy Future 2020: Energy Supply and Demand Projections to 2050

The Energy Futures series explores how possible energy futures might unfold for Canadians over the long term. Canada’s Energy Future 2020: Energy Supply and Demand Projections to 2050 (EF2020) is our latest long-term energy outlook. It is the first outlook in the series to provide projections to 2050. It covers all energy commodities, and all provinces and territories. We use economic and energy models to develop this outlook. We also make assumptions about technology, energy and climate policies, energy markets, human behaviour and the economy.

Rangeland Health - Prince Albert

Rangeland health takes multiple ecosystem components into account and reflects overall ecosystem function.  Forest and grassland sites are scored on criteria such as plant community composition, plant community structure, moisture retention, soil erosion and bare ground, weed cover and distribution, and browse species and utilization. Site visits are conducted annually during peak growing season. Protocols are based on those developed by Alberta Environment and Parks, but have been modified for park management applications. Assessment criteria, particularly the classification of “weeds”, differ between the two years of data collection because this program is under development. Fescue prairie grasslands have been reduced because historic fire suppression and lack of grazing pressure facilitate forest encroachment. Forests and grasslands are both important components of this dynamic ecosystem and provide valuable ungulate habitat.

Plant Productivity and Growing Season Change - Torngat Mountains

This dataset includes annual average Julian dates of spring green-up, fall brown-down, and plant productivity from 2000-2010. The data are from remote sensing. The MODIS (Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) satellite provides an image of the park every 10 days, which is used to calculate NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) values. This generates an "NDVI curve" from which plant productivity and growing season length are estimated. The growing season begins when the NDVI curve increases consistently in the spring (green-up) and ends when it decreases in the fall (brown-down). Plant productivity is estimated as the area under this curve (the NDVI integral). These data are important because changes in plant productivity and growing season length are predicted to respond to climate change, and changes in these measures may significantly affect habitat and wildlife.

Inland Lakes - Water Quality - Pukaskwa

Every five years, water quality is assessed in 32 inland lakes that are greater than 8 hectares in surface area. Samples are collected via helicopter and three key stressors (acidification, eutrophication and metal loading) are assessed using nine parameters [pH, aluminum, calcium, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, dissolved oxygen concentration, iron (Fe), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb)]. YSI measurements and Secchi disk measurements are also taken. Samples are sent to the National Laboratory for Environmental Testing (NLET), Burlington, ON, to test for metals and to Natural Resources Canada, Sault Ste. Marie, ON, to test for nutrients.

Elk aerial surveys  - Jasper

Elk (Cervus canadensis) are generally considered a keystone species across a variety of landscapes. Elk (C. canandenis nelsoni) in Jasper National Park is one of four extant subspecies of elk occurring in North America. They are an important wildlife component in the Park regarding the management of human-wildlife conflict and understanding caribou/wolf population dynamics. Every five years, data are collected by aerial surveys over set transects across the Park to estimate population size and composition and inform management activities.

Restoration Actions - Waterton Lakes - Conservation and Restoration Project (Five needle pine)

Whitebark Pine (Pinus albicaulis – listed as Endangered under the Species At Risk Act) and Limber Pine (Pinus flexilis- recommended as Endangered by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada) have undergone extensive population declines across much of their range due to a number of interacting factors. An introduced pathogen (blister rust - Cronartium ribicola) and an increasing severity of native beetle outbreaks (mountain pine beetle - Dendroctonus ponderosae) coupled with a reduced natural fire regime and changes in climate have all contributed to their decline. Restoration actions are those  undertaken to improve conditions for rust resistant seedlings by opening up the canopy at sites targeted for future planting. In Waterton - restoration actions are primarily from small prescribed fires designed to mimic the effects of natural lightening ignited fires. Using mechanical (e.g. chainsaw) means in limber and whitebark pine habitat is an option and will be used in the event prescribed fires cannot be implemented due to weather or other factors. Restoration actions are measured in the number of hectares per year.

Bat Hibernacula and Maternity Roosts - Jasper

Bat monitoring in Jasper National Park supports Jasper National Park’s Multi-species Action Plan. Survey efforts are increasingly important on account of the recent detection of white-nosed syndrome in western North America and evidence that the disease is spreading more readily.  Data collected from hibernacula and maternity roost monitoring help determine species composition and relative abundance to inform management activities.

Amphibian Occupancy - Waterton Lakes - Freshwater

Amphibians are vulnerable to an array of
environmental changes because of their
permeable skin, a complex life history, and a dependence on moist terrestrial or wetland habitats. These attributes make them excellent indicators of the health of aquatic ecosystems. Amphibians can indicate problems of air and water pollution, drought, habitat loss and
fragmentation, the introduction of non-native species such as sport fish and bullfrogs, and the emergence and spread of infectious disease. Amphibian occupancy is determined using auditory and visual encounters surveys.

Old-growth Forest Extent- Pacific Rim

From the point of view of ecological integrity and the responsibility of the park to protect and maintain a biotic community naturally associated with the ecoregion, we are primarily interested in the extent of two land cover classes, the old-growth forest, which should not decrease in the park, and the artificially cleared areas or the anthropogenic footprint, which should not increase. This program measures the extent of old-growth forest and tracks changes in the land cover class (measured in 30x30m grid cells) to the baseline year (1990). We use land cover datasets derived from remotely-sensed satellite imagery of the park to capture forest-stand replacement events, which in our case are due to construction-related clearing or natural stand-replacing events (e.g. windthrow from storms). The trend in the old-growth cover in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve is assessed by comparing the baseline extent of old-growth forest to annual loss in forest cover obtained from the annually updated Global Forest Change database. Disturbance has long been recognized as a primary underpinning of biological diversity in forested landscapes because it is a major determinant of spatial heterogeneity at multiple scales. Thus, loss of old-growth forest will result in a loss of bioregion-specific and endemic biodiversity.
