aribou habitat potential has been defined based on the attributes of Saskatchewan’s forest ecosites (McLaughlan et al., 2010) and their utility and function for caribou. Forest ecosites were evaluated for habitat potential for woodland caribou with the assistance of caribou experts with experience in Saskatchewan ecosystems, during a workshop in March 2013 (Roddy, 2013). Ecosites were evaluated and classified into low, moderate, or high caribou habitat potential based on their potential to provide forage, refuge, or calving habitats regardless of current condition.
Calving value ratings were made in consideration of both the time of calving and the following two to four-week period. The primary consideration was predator avoidance. The related factors considered were the ability to hide a calf and the lack of spring black bear forage. A secondary consideration was whether there was caribou forage available on the site. In this dataset, high potential calving habitat is considered to be ecosites with scores of 2 or 3. |
