Our influences often harmful have generally been through gross structural changes involving harvest or exploitation of ecological products and services such as fish trees hydraulic energy and waste disposal. Our development practices also cause the insidious continued devastation of the shoreline ecotone which serves as a center of attraction and We used the Boreal Shield ecozone the largest of the 15 ecozones in Canada as the geographic focus of this book. Boreal or northern forest refers to the mainly coniferous forest that covers most of the northern portion of the ecozone. Shield refers to the exposed Precambrian Shield bedrock that extends across the entire ecozone Ecological Stratification Working Group 1995 . 2004 by CRC Press LLC production for many species of plants and wildlife. A sustainable relationship between humans and Boreal Shield waters therefore requires that we control and improve our environmental interactions and adopt a more cautious and protective role .
