  1. RESULTS – Fertilization Overview Interior 2012 Fertilization Meeting February 8th, 2012 Prince George, BC Paul Rehsler, RPF Resource Practices Branch

  2. Requirement to report • Policy driven requirement, as per the RESULTS Information Submission Specifications for Government Funded Silviculture Activities (RISS-gf), • Broad treatments over large areas • Why report? To track and monitor investments

  3. What gets submitted? • Opening definition, for new shell openings • Fertilization assessment, SU FE • Planned fertilization (immediate and future), FE NUT / CGE • Completed treatments FE NUT / CGE • Post-treatment monitoring SU FE • Supporting documents Spatial data is submitted for all fertilization activities

  4. What does this information get used for? • Support to LBIP administrators • Timber supply review • Planning subsequent treatments • Access management • Preclude harvest until gains are realized

  5. Shell Openings vs. individual Openings • Shell openings: covers large areas, spanning many openings and areas where there are no openings in RESULTS, complete coverage (assessed, planned, treated) in one record . • Individual openings: provides full historical context BUT • Its labour intensive • to submit to • all impacted • openings • Area outsideopenings reportedas shell opening Shell openings spanning multiple part openings

  6. Step 1: Create a shell opening • Specifics: • Opening Category – NREQ (Not Required) • Opening Gross Area – 0.1ha (minimum impacts on reporting) • Approval Date – can be current date • No opening definition gml. Step 2: Once the shell opening is created, add the following information Specifics: • Set Opening Status to “FG” (District staff to set) • Set Timber Supply Block – assist in TSR & reporting

  7. Step 3: Create the spatial submission to the shell opening • Use ESF Submission Tool to set up ESF Fertilization Treatment xml with Activity GML Map. Specifics: • Use Opening ID as the key (not tenure information)! • EXAMPLE: Completed Treatment Activity • Mandatory data: • Base: FE • Tech: CA • Method: HELI • Objective: CGE • Funding Source: FTL or FTM • Completion Date • Area Treated • Interagency Number (conditional) • Project No (conditional) • GML Map • Comments

  8. The ESF submission looks like this:

  9. Fertilizer Monitoring Plots: • Mel Scott provided to Mei-Ching and Matt LeRoy who submitted to RESULTS via ESF • Each plot was buffered to create 1 ha openings in order to get the plots into RESULTS as polygons • Monitoring plots for each geographic area (i.e. PG) were submitted as one opening • Coded as silviculture trials, SX silviculture base method code, not FE • Data relevant to each project was attached to the opening in RESULTS, i.e. detailed measurements in excel

  10. Prince George monitoring plots, SX FE, 1 ha blobs, multi-part polygons:

  11. How to Access Fertilizer Activities in RESULTS: • Corporate Reporting System (CRS), link from RESULTS

  12. Note: choose to view CSV format online, although shown as an option, CSV’s won’t be emailed to you

  13. Land and Resource Data Warehouse (LRDW) Query the Activity Treatment SVW for silv base code = “FE” or silv base code = “SX” Openings SVW for openings with gross area = 0.1 ha

  14. Key Points, Reporting Through to RESULTS: Geometry is required for both planned and completed fertilization activities We are getting lots of new shell openings with actual gross area values in the Opening Gross Area – that has an impact on reporting.  Switch to shell opening gross area reporting of 0.1 ha Where using an existing opening to report out on fertilization activities use existing opening gross area

  15. Recent Fertilizer Reporting Performance: Completed Activities, 1100 in the last two fiscals combined (entire province) 157 of which provided no spatial Planned Activities, 255 Planned in the last two fiscals, 188 no geometry provided

  16. Thanks to Matt Leroy and Mei Ching Tsoi
