shishalh-BC Land Use Plan - Current Condition Assessment - Projected Climate Feasibility

The layers illustrate the anticipated spatial range where Western Red Cedar and Western Hemlock are expected to be suitable or viable for growth in 2021 to 2040, 2041 to 2060, 2061 to 2080, 2081 to 2100. It involves assessing various factors to determine whether a specific tree species can thrive in a particular location or context. Adapted from data provided by Colin Mahony (BC Ministry of Forests), following the method of: MacKenzie, W.H. and C.R. Mahony. 2021. An ecological approach to climate change-informed tree species selection for reforestation. Forest Ecology and Management 481:118705

As described in MacKenzie and Mahony (2021), tree species feasibility categories are:

Primary (High feasibility): species having no environmental limiting conditions for establishment and growth across the entire range of site series conditions. The species is typically widespread in natural stands. >90% survival of planted trees is observed across all site conditions in most years. Site index is average or greater compared to other species feasible for the site.

Secondary (Moderate feasibility): species occurring towards the outer range of the species environmental tolerance but occurs commonly in natural stands. High feasibility only on certain portions of site series range; or, may demonstrate relatively slow growth rates across all site conditions. Mortality rates of planted trees > 10% occurs in some portions of the sites series or during establishment years with extreme climatic conditions.

Tertiary (Low feasibility): species is generally infrequent to sporadic in natural forests and has significant environmental limitations to establishment on large portions of the site series; or demonstrates markedly curtailed growth rates. >10% establishment mortality can be expected across all but the most favorable sites. Climatically extreme years may lead to very high mortality rates in establishing stands.
