Objective(s): To identify presence of rare plants within the local study area and to describe existing habitat types within the local study area.
Project Description: The 2010 baseline environmental studies will include the following: 1) A rare plant survey to be conducted in mid July (approximate) to identify presence of rare plants within the local study area. 2) An ecosystem mapping field component to be carried out in June and mid July (approximate) to describe existing habitat types within the local study area. Rare plant surveys will be conducted in mid July using a combination of walking meander and walking transect survey techniques following the Alberta Native Plant Council procedures. Random walking meander transects will be conducted in each different habitat type and all new plant species will be recorded until no more new species are observed. Walking transects will be conducted in habitats with the greatest potential to support rare plants. Transects maximize the coverage of an area and minimizes overlap of the search area. The ecosystem mapping field component ... Show more
