839 climax forest [n]

The soil family was used to describe soil map units in an intermediate level survey of British Columbia. The main obstacle to its application was determination of soil climate. Soil climate (soil temperature classes and soil moisture subclasses) was derived from atmospheric climate data. It was then related to climax forest vegetation which was used to locate map unit boundaries. By linking biological characteristics to the soil survey, interpretations for wildlife and forestry were enhanced. At the level in which the survey was conducted, the soil family usefully reflected the soil variation in the landscape while providing ample information for most land use interpretations.

Climax Forest

It is argued that native forest pathogens may be viewed as major agents of spatial and temporal diversity, responsible for the creation of a number of special habitats, and influencing the speed and direction of succession as well as the structure of the climax forest. Although their influence is detrimental to most common purposes of management, the result of their action may occasionally be beneficial.

Climax Forest

In a state forestry reserve in south-eastern Queensland, indices of grey kangaroo abundance were obtained from faecal pellet counts and were related to habitat structure by analysis of variance, multiple regression and cluster analysis. Of these, cluster analysis proved the most effective technique. Results identified a preference for habitats displaying an abundance of food reserves and shelter. Climax forest and open woodland type habitats were relatively little used.
