Landscape Level Connectivity Through Aggregating Sample Clauses

Landscape Level Connectivity Through Aggregating. Data indicates that sub-boreal forests that are characterized by frequent (i.e.<150 year cycle) stand initiating fires would have a natural landscape dominated by very large patches that were created by fire (Xxxxxxx et al. 2002, XxXxxx 0000x, Xxxxxxxxx 0000, Xxxxxx 1996). Fire activity was highly variable in these systems with episodic periods when the disturbance rate fluctuated much higher and lower than the average. This resulted in a temporal pattern of habitat availability where either young or older forest dominated the landscape (Steventon 2001). This disturbance regime also results in a forest with alternating periods of high and low connectivity for both mature and early forest. In contrast, the current pattern of harvesting results in an increase in the amount of Moving to an aggregated cutting pattern where the total patch size meets or exceeds the values specified in the Biodiversity Guidebook will increase the degree that sub-boreal landscapes resemble natural disturbance patterns. The guidebook specifies that in areas with ‘Xxxxxxx-fir throughout’ the maximum patch size (including aggregations) should not exceed 250 ha whereas it may reach 1000 ha in areas where ‘Xxxxxxx-fir is restricted or absent’. Limiting of cutblock size to 250 ha where Xxxxxxx-fir is present throughout is not supported by the data from the East Fraser Study Area (Xxxxxxx et al. 2002) where large Xxxxxxx-fir vets persist in very large disturbance patches. An effort should be made in both areas to increase the upper limit of patch sizes to more closely resemble those of natural sub-boreal forests. Incorporating existing cutblocks into large aggregates would limit the fragmentation caused by past harvesting. Ideally, these aggregations would be in clusters that over time would join leaving other similar sized areas of contiguous habitat. This of course will be constrained by the existing habitat matrix. However, allowing some slightly younger stands to be harvested would improve aggregation in landscapes where there is a mix of stand ages. An example of what this could look like is seen in Figure 4.4.
