SUMMARY OF THE PARKS RESEARCH FORUM OF ONTARIO (PRFO)STATE OF THE ART PROTECTED AREAS DESIGN WORKSHOP, 200614. Please list any publications (including internal reports, grey literature, conference proceedings andpeer-reviewed articles) that have arisen from the project.Technical reports:National HCVF Framework. 2004. Appendix 5 in the FSC Boreal Standard.World Wildlife Fund Canada and The Nature Conservancy. 2005. High Conservation Value ForestSupport Document. WWF-Canada and TNC Discussion Paper.ftp://forests:gc678yy@ftp.wwf.caConference Presentations:Numerous presentations at conferences and workshops.15. Please identify any limitations you feel you have encountered in your specific exercise of identifyingrepresentative protected areas.Scale – Within the FSC process, it is difficult to work at an ecoregion scale since the applicant is seekingthe certification for a particular forest tenure.Data – There are many data gaps, but some of the obvious gaps are nationally consistent biotic units,focal species population studies and habitat requirements, and ecosystem services.Thresholds – It is difficult to prescribe thresholds that can apply across ecoregions, so this often requirespractitioner investigation and judgment.16. Please describe any planned refinements to further work on the project, or on related projects.Possible areas for improvement, although not finalized and planned with budgets, include:i) focal species‟ habitat requirements for HCV1-Question 4ii) predictive ecosystem types and/or pre-industrial condition to improve the analysis for HCV1-Question 5 and HCV3-Questions 8, 9 and 11iii) Ecosystem services related to aquatic ecosystems and hydrological processes33 | P a g e
