Old Growth - Web Viewer - South Coast SBOT
Regional Operations - South Coast
SBOT Requests; Ian Blackburn — 2020-06-19 Published by the Ministry of Water, Lands, and Resource Stewardship - Regional Operations - South Coast Licensed under Access Only The Stewardship Baseline Objectives Tool (SBOT) is a visualization and assessment tool to clarify and communicate baseline information and stewardship objectives for priority resource values. Currently, the tool is developed for the South Coast Region. The intent of the tool is to assess the current, past and future state of stewardship objectives to support operational, tactical and strategic management decisions for these priority resource values. The Old Growth Forest SBOT provides provincially available data and information to understand the condition of old and mature forests in the South Coast Region. Assessment results are based on GIS-desktop analysis and may not be fully field-verified. Results provide a course estimate of the status of old forests in the region, and at various levels of assessment. The tool is being developed to help support regional operation decisions, cumulative effects assessment, and strategic decisions related to the management of old forest and other old and mature forests dependent species. For specific advice to support decisions, interpret results, or for any questions or feedback related to the information provided here, please send an email to sbot@gov.bc.ca. ## Data used in the Old Growth SBOT: BEC Zones - https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/f358a53b-ffde-4830-a325-a5a03ff672c3 Forest Cover - https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/b6181452-ec12-47e8-af07-be1c6d926bdd Forest Tenure Harvesting Authority Polygons - https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/cff7b8f7-6897-444f-8c53-4bb93c7e9f8b Landscape Units - https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/11277e35-d8be-47e4-bb1f-c38e393179c6 Natural Resource (NR) Districts - https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/0bc73892-e41f-41d0-8d8e-828c16139337 Old Growth Management Areas (Legal) - https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/1b30f3bd-0ad0-4128-916b-66c6dd91dea4 Old Growth Management Areas (Non Legal) - https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/f063bff2-d8dd-4cc3-b3a4-00165aba58e1 Resource Report - TBA Species and Ecosystems at Risk - Publicly Available Occurrences - CDC - https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/0e035e55-f257-458f-9a96-80c01c69d389 VRI - Forest Vegetation Composite Polygons and Rank 1 Layer - https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/2ebb35d8-c82f-4a17-9c96-612ac3532d55 https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content?id=1AAACC9C65754E4D89A118B875E0FBDA

Spotted Owl - Land Base - Data - South Coast SBOT
Regional Operations - South Coast
SBOT Requests; Ian Blackburn — 2020-06-19 SBOT = Stewardship Baseline Objectives Tool Spotted Owl Habitat summarized by land base type. The extended Northern Spotted Owl range was divided up by landscape unit and type (conservancy areas, crown tenures/leases, ecological reserves, federal lands, municipal parks, NGO conservation areas, protected areas, provincial parks, private lands, recreation areas, regional parks, UWR (conditional harvest), UWR (no harvest), unknown ownership / exceptions, WHA - LTOH, WHA - MFHA, WHA - Other - Conditional Harvest, WHA - Other - No Harvest, wildlife managment areas, watershed). The land base layer was flattened to remove overlaps between land base types with the highest level of protection preserved. The hectares of nesting, foraging, dispersal, and recruitment Northern Spotted Owl habitat were then summarized for each area. This layer drives most of the widgets in the Spotted Owl Web Viewer. https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content?id=1AAACC9C65754E4D89A118B875E0FBDA

Spotted Owl - Suitable Habitat Model - Data - South Coast SBOT
Regional Operations - South Coast
SBOT Requests; Ian Blackburn — 2020-06-19 SBOT = Stewardship Baseline Objectives Tool __See the Spotted Owl SBOT Web Viewer for detailed tables of the model criteria.__ Throughout its range, the Spotted Owl is strongly associated with mature and old, late successional coniferous and mixed-coniferous forests. These forests are typically characterized by an uneven-aged cohort of trees; a multi-layered, relatively closed canopy; numerous large trees with broken tops, deformed limbs, and large cavities; and numerous large snags and accumulations of logs and downed woody debris. In moist parts of the range, these habitat characteristics are found naturally in late seral and old forests. In drier parts of their range (i.e., east of the Cascade Mountain Range), owls have been observed in younger forest stands where similar structural complexity was created by fire, wind events, selective logging, or disease factors such as root rot or mistletoe infections. For more information, please refer to the Recovery Strategy for the Northern Spotted Owl in Canada. For the purposes of Spotted Owl habitat management, habitat has been divided into 4 habitat types based on the function and life requisites it provides. __Nesting Habitat__ Nesting Habitat is the preferred habitat of Spotted Owls, and is chosen for use by the owl typically in greater proportion than its availability in the landscape. Nesting habitat provides for all of the owl’s life requisites that include the abilities for nesting, foraging and dispersal. __Foraging Habitat__ Foraging habitat is used by Spotted Owls typically in the same proportion as its availability in the landscape. Foraging habitat provides for foraging and dispersal, but may lack structures to provide for nesting. __Dispersal Habitat__ Dispersal habitat is used by Spotted Owls typically less proportion than its availability in the landscape. Dispersal habitat provide for dispersal (understory and cover), but may not support foraging opportunities and lacks structures for nesting. __Recruitment Habitat__ Recruitment habitat is typically not used by Spotted Owls, but possesses the potential to grow into dispersal, foraging and nesting habitat in the future. https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content?id=1AAACC9C65754E4D89A118B875E0FBDA
