Caribou 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.
Forage value was rated based on the availability of lichen and other plant species, which are palatable to caribou (Thomas and Armbruster, 1996). In this dataset, high potential foraging habitat is considered to be ecosites with scores of 2 or 3. |
