English title: The status of peatland site classification for forestry in Ontario

Abstract

Wetland site classification for forestry in Ontario is reviewed. The main units of a physiognomic-dominance scheme are portrayed in an environmental model, and research and inventory work using this approach is reviewed. Some common wetland terms used in Ontario are defined and discussed. The results of the Forest Ecosystem Classification (FEC) program are presented, for those operational groups that include peatland forests. Recent analyses of wooded peatlands in Ontario have revealed the relationships of the FEC types to the earlier defined wetland units. Some quantitative data are given to characterize tree growth, site, and vegetation. Recent silvicultural, remote sensing and inventory applications which utilize the main wetland units are reviewed.
