DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Northwestern Ontario Forest Ecosystem Classification (NWO FEC) provdes a framework that forest managers can use for classifying forest soils and vegetation (S-Types and V-Types) and for land management applications. For many forest management uses, NWO FEC V- or S-type information must be mapped at a scale compatible with data collection by ground survey. However, ground surveys are typically costly or difficult, and a photointerpretation procedure for typing soils or vegetation would be useful. This study was undertaken to develop a reliable methodology for interpreting NWO FEC S- and V- types using aerial photos. The study area was the Aulneau Peninsula along the Lake of the Woods, and study methods included a review of existing information, a field reconnaissance, and development of photinterpretation keys. This report presents the study results and the interpretation procedure developed. photos together with other available information.
