Ongoing research and monitoring

  • Bioclima8c Ecosystem

Classifica8on

– Guide books for on-the-ground ecosystem iden8fica8on and map applica8on – Southern Lakes (Summer 2016, North Central (Summer 2017), Arc8c (Winter 2017)

  • Ecological mapping

– Yukon North Slope (Fall, 2016) – Yukon Bioclima8c Zone/Subzone map (Version 1 - Summer 2016)

  • Data Collec8on

– Biophysical (vegeta8on, soil, and terrain) plot (relevé) repository and data collec8on/sharing (ongoing)

Planned research and monitoring

  • Bioclima8c Ecosystem

Classifica8on

– focus on higher eleva8on and la8tude bioclimate zones – Boreal/Subarc8c - treed vegeta8on associa8ons (summer 2017) – Boreal High (tbd) – Klondike (tbd) – North Yukon (tbd)

  • Ecological mapping

– Broad to local scale within priority areas – Klondike (tbd) – North Yukon (tbd)

Management related research & monitoring needs

  • Correla8on/crosswalk ecosystem classes and mapped units

with adjacent jurisdic8ons

  • Increase biophysical (vegeta8on, soil, and terrain) data

through collabora8on with partners

  • Develop key input layers for predic8ve and/or manual

ecosystem mapping (i.e. Digital Terrain Model, Digital Surface Model, remotely sensed imagery)

  • Share and refine approaches for ecological mapping and

development of map units/labels

Opportuni0es for ABoVE/POLAR for engagement, educa0on, outreach

  • Prac88oners workshop: Ecosystem and Landscape

Classifica8on/Mapping in Winter 2017

– Discussion of ecological map and classifica8on products to support decision making – Exchange informa8on related to ecosystem and classifica8on interests and projects – Opportunity to share and connect with people engaged in using and developing ELC tools
