Yoho National Park : Research

Yosemite National Park is located in the northern California area, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Yosemite was the first both state and national park in the U.S., it was also the first piece of land to be set aside by the United State government for preservation and protection. In present day over 3 million people visit Yosemite each year. Visitors get to experience the park’s 800 miles of hiking trails and 282 miles of road amongst for many other things. The park received its name from the American Indian tribe that first lived in that area the tribe known as the Ahwahneechee Indian in the 1800’s. But in about 1849 the gold rush began and brought thousands of non-Indian miners and settlers to the park. Not too long after that, our current president at the time Abraham Lincoln declared protection for the park. Which was all to prevent any further damage done to the park.

When analyzing the West region of Canada two groups emerge one being the Prairies of

Three mountain ranges make up the first region: Rocky, Olympic, and Cascade mountains. The Rocky Mountains are known as the Columbia mountains and are in the Northeast region. They have scenic valleys and ridges where minerals like gold and silver are found. The Olympic mountains are in the northwestern corner of Washington. These mounts are comprised of the highest peaks in the Coastal Range and are great for camping sites as it is in a wilderness. Some parts of the Olympic mountains have never been explored yet! The Cascade mountains are located east of the Puget Sound Lowlands and include several volcanic peaks, like Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helen. Lush forests and glaciers are just some of the amazing features in the Cascade Mountain ranges. In close, the Rocky,

Yosemite National Park is a national park located in Northern California, attracting countless tourists from countries all across the world for its luscious green landscape, beautiful waterfalls, and variety of different hiking trails. However it is known by many for far more than its physical beauty, and a deep history and significance have created the national park that Americans love today.

In our society, we have our ideals set on the values of Yosemite National Park as gateway to explore nature. As Yosemite is a tourist attraction, its breathtaking scenery is one of the marvels that brings people together. As others have seen or heard of Yosemite, only a few can personify and connect with its elements. Yosemite is home to the Ahwahneechee tribe as they live religiously and spiritually.

Shenandoah National Park has breath-taking views and miraculous hikes that always leave visitors with a satisfied and content look on their face. The park sits on 200,000 acres of protected lands that is a haven to deer, songbirds, and an abundance of other animals resulting in a diverse ecosystem. Visitors can experience the park in multiple ways depending on what part of the park they wish to explore. Car, hiking trails, and even sitting in your tent on a campground observing the wildlife that scurries by can see breathtaking sights.

Canada's topography is dominated by the Canadian Shield, an ice-scoured area of Precambrian rocks surrounding Hudson Bay and covering half the country. This vast region, with its store of forests, waterpower, and mineral resources, is being increasingly developed. East of the Shield is the maritime area, separated from the rest of Canada by low mountain ranges pierced by plains and river valleys, and including the island of Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island. South and southeast of the Shield are the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence lowlands, a fertile plain in the triangle bounded by the St. Lawrence River, Lake Ontario, and Georgian Bay. West of the Shield are the farmlands and ranching areas of the great central plains, some 1,300 km (800 mi)

Banff National Park in Alberta Canada has a very interesting climate. The study site only a few miles away from the city of Banff resides on the front ranges of the Rocky Mountains. The Continental Divide is only 45 km (28 miles) west of the study location. The climate around the park as a whole is interesting. It is commonly known to be completely different weather at varying temperatures all over the park. Throughout the day, the weather frequently changes dramatically. Areas studied included dry meadows, shrub-fields and shrub-lands, open or immature forest and mature forests. All of which have a nutrient rich post-wildfire soil. The forests are primarily spruce, lodgepole pine, subalpine fir and alpine larch.

Banff National Park /ˈbæmf/ is Canada's oldest national park, established in 1885 in the Rocky Mountains. The park, located 110–180 kilometres (68–112 mi) west of Calgary in the province of Alberta, encompasses 6,641 square kilometres (2,564 sq mi)[2] of mountainous terrain, with numerous glaciers and ice fields, dense coniferous forest, and alpine landscapes. The Icefields Parkway extends from Lake Louise, connecting to Jasper National Park in the north. Provincial forests and Yoho National Park are neighbours to the west, while Kootenay National Park is located to the south and Kananaskis Country to the southeast. The main commercial centre of the park is the town of Banff, in the Bow River

on small reserves scattered along the Fraser and Thompson rivers. Those reserves are serviced by

There are also volcanic mountains especially in western Canada where the Pacific ring of fire is located. This ring stretches into the Pacific Ocean Mount Garibaldi is an example of a volcanic mountain rock climbing is favorite past time in Canada (Martin & Jones, 2011). There are various water basins that include The are several lakes that can be found in Canada. The most dominate of the lakes are The great lakes that are located in southern Quebec and Ontario. In this area, there are extensive forests that contain native woodland.

Throughout the past few decades, Yellowstone National Park has undergone several amounts of environmental changes for both the positive and the negative. The YNP has mainly had population increases throughout the time period of 1994-2010 in areas of study such as riparian vegetation, ungulates and also other animals. Although the decline of elk and coyotes may prove otherwise, there is enough data to support that the majority of species in the YNP are rapidly growing. Throughout this case study, I noticed how each species played an important role in the overall ecosystem of Yellowstone, proving that all species are intradependant.

To get a better visual of where it's located, it's on the southern eastern parts of Alaska in the United States and southwestern part of Yukon, and very high up in the northwestern part of British Columbia.

This kind of woods lies between the Polar Regions and the tropics, where there are four particular seasons, and is contained essentially of trees that yearly lose their leaves as chilly climate approaches (deciduous). As the hours of sunshine abbreviate in the fall season, the trees expel chlorophyll from the leaves, furnishing us with a tremendous scope of shading before they tumble to the ground. The leaves then break down to give rich supplements, making an extremely prolific soil and making it an engaging range to bear on rural interests; thusly, a lot of this biome has been changed over to farmland.

In the Temperate Deciduous Forest people gather for wood, timber, and charcoal. People chase for deer, and different creatures. In the mild

Five vegetation types and one land use were classified in TKR (Table 3.1). The overall spatial patterns of the vegetation types were aligned to Mucina & Rutherfold (2006), but the revised map illustrated distribution of the vegetation types in higher spatial resolution (Fig. 3.1).
