{"Image DocumentName": "Getting Started: An Introduction to Forest Management Planning", "Image ImageDescription": "The northeastern Ontario forest. Boreal Forest. Part of a band of forest circling the northern globe, the fire-driven boreal forest is the largest forest region in Ontario. Boreal softwoods: jack pine. black and white spruce. balsam fir. Shade intolerant hardwoods: aspen. white birch. poplar. Part of a band of forest circling the northern globe, the Boreal forest is the largest forest region in Ontario, consisting of almost 50 million hectares, stretching from the northern limits of the Great Lakes St.Lawrence forest to Hudson Bay (including the Hudson Bay lowlands, which have a sub-arctic climate and are sometimes defined as a separate and unforested region). This forest region contains about 37 million hectares of productive forest land, with the dominant species of white and black spruce, jack pine, balsam fire, trembling aspen, and white birch. The Boreal forest is a fire-driven ecosystem; the forest species and the mosaic of forest communities are greatly influenced by the size, intensity and frequency of fires that have burned across the landscape. Fire suppression and extensive cutting are two human influences which have shifted the course of forest succession over much of the boreal landscape. Boreal softwood (jack pine, black and white spruce, and balsam fir) and. shade intolerant hardwoods (aspen, white birch and poplar) are generally even aged in character.
