Download: hereWoodland caribou habitat potential within the provincial forest of central and northern Saskatchewan has been identified by Saskatchewan, using a forest ecosite geographic information system layer which has been mapped for the SK2 area. Forest ecosites represent information about a site's tree species, plant-abundance and soil and site characteristics (McLaughlan et al., 2010). Forest ecosite habitat potential ranks were assigned by individually evaluating the ecosite's potential to provide forage, refuge and calving habitat. Habitat potential referes to the ability or capability of a habitat type to support a wildlife species for its various life requirements. Potential does not consider the current state of the habitat (e.g., recently burned or harvested), but its optimal state.Habitat Potential Classes:Low habitat potential = 0Moderate habitat potential = 1High habitat potential = 2Unknown = 255Further information about the construction and uses of the woodland caribou habitat potential layer can be found on the final draft of the SK2 Central Range Plan: https://www.saskatchewan.ca/business/environmental-protection-and-sustainability/wildlife-and-conservation/wildlife-species-at-risk/woodland-caribou
