Habitat potential refers to the ability or capability of a habitat type to support a wildlife species for its various life cycle requirements. Potential does not consider the current state of the habitat (e.g. recently burned, harvested or industrial development), but its optimal state. Caribou habitat potential has been categorized into low, moderate and high classes based on the biophysical attributes of the Saskatchewan ecosite classification (McLaughlan et al., 2010) and their utility and function for caribou. Forest ecosites represent information about a site’s tree species, plant-abundance and soil and site characteristics (McLaughlan et al., 2010). Forest ecosite habitat potential ranks were assigned by individually evaluating the ecosite’s potential to provide forage, refuge and calving habitat. Low habitat potential = 0
Moderate habitat potential = 1
High habitat potential = 2
Unknown = 255 |
