Geology, Soils and Sites Clause Samples

Geology, Soils and Sites. The land base comprising the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lake Area LMA lies within Ecoregion 3E – Eastern Boreal Forest within the Ontario Shield Ecozone and is comprised primarily of Precambrian bedrock geology. (Figure 3). Ecoregions are differentiated by their broad regional climatic regimes, influencing productivity and distribution of vegetation (OMNR 2003). Ecoregions are comprised of ecodistricts characterized by distinct patterns of relief, geology, geomorphology, vegetation, soils, water bodies and fauna. The entire planning area is encompassed by Ecodistrict 3E-6. Table 1 is a summary of the characteristics of Ecoregion 3E and associated Ecodistrict 3E-6 as described by the Silviculture Guide to Managing Spruce, Fir, Birch, and Aspen Mixed ▇▇▇▇▇ in Ontario’s Boreal Forest (OMNR 2003). Table 1. Summary of Ecoregion 3E intersecting the planning land base area.

The area of Ecodistrict 3E-6 encompassing the planning land base is primarily upland and rougher with a small proportion of the area falling within the claybelt around Lake Abitibi. The planning area within the claybelt is part of the extensive clay deposit which limits the road building material and timing of operations while the planning area surrounding the town of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lake are primarily upland sites providing opportunities for operations to occur throughout the year. The rougher terrain encountered in this part of the Ecodistrict 3E-6 limits the operability of certain stands and the location of roads. In addition to the challenging terrain are the numerous watercourses which intersect the landscape. Strategies utilized in operating in these conditions include minimizing road construction required to access operational blocks, increasing the size of harvest areas and limiting the effects from restrictions brought on by other resource users. The Northeast Region Forest Ecosystem Classification (NORFEC) is a method of classifying ecosystems using a common methodology. NORFEC a...
