The overarching criteria for the environmental aspects are described to:Sustain biological richness and it’s associated values,Sustain the productivity of the forests and associated soil resources,Sustain forest ecosystems and their contribution to global carbon cycles, andSustain water quality and quantity.In many instances additional criteria for social and economic sustainability also contribute to theenvironmental protection measures, such as, ensuring that forest management sustains ongoingopportunities for a range of quality of life benefits (recreation, HCVF’s, and first nation culturalvalues).Section 3 of the plan describes all the Criteria and Indicators of Sustainability for the ManagementUnits.Forest compositionCranbrook TSA – Dominant Trees Species within the THLBTree Species Scientific Name PercentLodgepole pine (Pl) Pinus contorta 45.1%Douglas-fir (Fd) Pseudotsuga menziesii 17.9%Western Larch (Lw) Larix occidentalis 12.3%Engelmannn spruce Picea engelmannii 9.7%(Se)Subalpine fir (Ba) Abies lasiocarpa 8.0%Ponderosa Pine (Py) Pinus ponderosa 2.6%Western hemlock, western red cedar, whitebark pine, birch,aspen, and western white pine – less common in the TSA.Source: TSR3 Analysis Report, May 11/04Kootenay Lake TSA – Composition of THLB by Tree Species GroupTree Species Groups*Scientific NamePercentDouglas-fir (FD) Pseudotsuga menziesii 35.2Lodgepole Pine (Pl) Pinus contorta 26.5Balsam/Spruce (BS) Abies sp,/Piceaengelmanni25.5Cedar/Hemlock (CH) 12.8Source: TSR 2 – Kootenay Lake TSA Analysis Report, March 2001 (Figure 3)Page 68 of 89
