Physical aspects:Located in southern British Columbia and covering 260 square kilometers, Mount Revelstoke National Park has very diverse topographical characteristics. In my poster, the focus is on a rugged mountain in the Selkirk Range, part of the Columbia Mountains. It is a young, pointed mountain formed by the folding and faulting of sedimentary bedrock. Besides the rugged mountains and plateaus, there is also an abundance of wetlands and plains, represented by the lake and grasslands I drew. Due to the different altitudes and humidity of the Pacific air, the climate of this park can be very contrasting. The month of January is marked on the left side of my mountain, when temperatures are below freezing and snow is present at all altitudes. Moving to the right, temperatures begin to rise above freezing in May, when rain and sun dominate. In the middle of my mountain, we see that summer is in full bloom. However, snowfields may still persist at the summit. After a short summer that ends in August, the driest month of the year, snow accumulates again and avalanches are not uncommon. Overall, the climate is cool, with a wide temperature range and adequate relief precipitation. There are various types of vegetation at Mount Revelstoke. On both sides of the lake I showed dense forests of Douglas fir, Engelmann spruce, lodgepole pine, and trembling aspen. At the lowest elevations, precipitation falls primarily as rain year-round, giving rise to the world's only temperate inland rainforest. It includes species like western red cedar, western hemlock, devil's club and other old-growth species. This is shown on the far right of my poster. In the subalpine region...... middle of document ......training helps ParksCanada decide what improvements should be made to increase the population of endangered bird species. Next to the caribou is another woman taking a water sample from the lake, which is part of the All Mountain National Parks Ecological Integrity Monitoring Program. Not only will the data collected help with decision-making, but it will also be useful in raising awareness among Canadians about the effects we are having on the ecological health of our parks. In 2005, Parks Canada concluded, as part of a three-year research project, that western hemlock looper infestations do not pose a threat to forest health or caribou habitat. These types of studies are essential to managing forest health. In summary, regular management and compliance with visitor guidelines are ways in which Mount Revelstoke National Park ensures the proper functioning of the ecosystem..
