Taxonomic Summary
Plant and animal groups comprise a diverse biotic assemblage in northwest Alberta. It is difficult yet
to estimate total species richness as scientists currently have incomplete taxonomic descriptions of arthropods,
oligochaetes (segmented worms), round worms, spiders, ticks, mites, lichens, and fungi. However, most taxonomists
agree that total biotic richness would be many multiples of the ~1000 species that are described for northwest
Alberta.
The sections on arthropods, gastropods and fungi provides a very small start-point in describing the taxonomic richness of these species groups in the boreal forests of Alberta. Ranking of taxa by species richness ispresented in the taxa summary below.
Among plant species in northwest Alberta, more vascular plants have been taxonomically described than non-vascular plants (lichens, liverworts, etc.).
taxonomically dominant to other classes (mammals, amphibians, reptiles), though many bird species occur onlyseasonally in the boreal forest biome of northwest Alberta.

Systematic longterm (e.g., multi-decade) monitoring of the bird community does not exist in northwest Alberta.
Some temporal data, however, exists for migratory waterfowl as provided by joint monitoring by the Canadian and
U.S. federal governments and Ducks Unlimited (see section on migratory waterfowl). Citizen-based Christmas bird
counts provide local information that might be useful in detecting changes in populations of some winter resident
birds. The Atlas of Breeding Birds of Alberta (Semenchuk 1992) is the most detailed systematic assessment of
breeding birds in Alberta but can not be used to assess temporal changes as it has been conducted once.
From a continental, national, or provincial scale, however, the most expansive program is the North American
Breeding Bird Program (BBS) (Sauer, J. R., J. E. Hines, G. Gough, I. Thomas, and B. G. Peterjohn 1997). This
geographically extensive survey, which provides estimates of population change of songbirds, is based on visual and
acoustic counts of birds on over 3,500 routes surveyed in June throughout North America by experienced birders.
Unfortunately, this inventory program does not cover all of northwest Alberta. Notwithstanding, the BBS program
does allow us to examine relative changes in provincial population density of those bird species known to occur in
northwest Alberta. This information, in turn, can be used to assist forest companies in identifying bird species which
may be currently declining and therefore may require specific attention or management action. Table 25 provide
estimates of temporal trends in provincial bird species found in northwest Alberta. These data were used to create
graphics indicating those bird species whose relative abundance index from 1966–1996 is negative (<0%; Figure
34), slightly positive (0-3%; Figure 35) or moderately positive (>3%; Figure 36). Of the bird species monitored by
the BBS, 31 species exhibited a significant (p=0.05) increase in relative abundance whereas 15 species exhibited a
significant decline in relative abundance.
The findings of the BBS surveys may not accurately reflect bird abundances across the full spectrum of plant
communities as it is likely weighted towards those plant community types proximal to human settlements or those
found along the transportation networks. For example, the increasing abundance of cedar waxwings and merlins
shown in Alberta may partly reflect the plantings of mountain ash and spruce seedlings in towns and cities
throughout Alberta (Susan Hannon, personal communication). Mountain ash and spruce are important as forage and
nesting sites for waxwings and merlins, respectively. Despite the potential biases of this database, it is the best
available to examine temporal trends, and its biases are likely minor in relation to the composition, scope, and
sampling years of the BBS surveys.

Species Richness
Species richness of amphibians is low in northwest Alberta but comparable to most of the province. The
mixedwood boreal forest contains an abundance of small water bodies with riparian vegetation and changing water
levels that provide good breeding and molting habitat for amphibians, and the same areas provide good breeding
habitat for the many insects on which amphibians feed. The Peace River is also an important distribution route for
amphibians (Roberts et al. 1987). However, the boreal forest generally lacks the hot, dry environment that is
preferred by most reptiles; consequently, only two species (both garter snakes) are found. The red-sided
garter snake is particularly abundant along the Peace River where there is good overwintering habitat and abundant
amphibians, a preferred food (Roberts et al. 1987). Species richness of amphibians and reptiles in northwest Alberta
is summarized.
Special Concerns
According to various species designation sources, a number of herptile species are currently considered sensitive or
otherwise at-risk.
