Abstract: This is a linear disturbance dataset for the Livingstone-Porcupine Hills region of Alberta. This dataset was created to support spatial analyses of linear disturbances in the Livingstone-Porcupine Hills region for the Alberta Environment and Parks report entitled "Linear Disturbances in the Livingstone-Porcupine Hills of Alberta: Review of Potential Ecological Responses" which can be found at https://open.alberta.ca/publications/9781460140338. All linear disturbances are grouped into five categories using attribution from input data sources. These include: paved roads; gravel roads; unimproved roads, unclassified roads, and truck trails; pipelines and powerlines; and cutlines and trails.

Abstract:
This is a linear disturbance dataset for the Livingstone-Porcupine Hills region of Alberta. This dataset was
created to support spatial analyses of linear disturbances in the Livingstone-Porcupine Hills region for the
Alberta Environment and Parks report entitled "Linear Disturbances in the Livingstone-Porcupine Hills of
Alberta: Review of Potential Ecological Responses" which can be found at
https://open.alberta.ca/publications/9781460140338. All linear disturbances are grouped into five categories
using attribution from input data sources. These include: paved roads; gravel roads; unimproved roads,
unclassified roads, and truck trails; pipelines and powerlines; and cutlines and trails. Please note: this
legacy dataset will not be updated. For questions regarding the data, please contact AEP.Data@gov.ab.ca.
Purpose:
This dataset was created to support spatial analyses of linear disturbances in the Livingstone-Porcupine Hills
region for the Alberta Environment and Parks report entitled "Linear Disturbances in the
Livingstone-Porcupine Hills of Alberta: Review of Potential Ecological Responses". This report provides an
objective review and synthesis of published scientific data and information of relevance in examining the
environmental impacts associated with linear disturbance in the Livingstone-Porcupine Hills region of
southwestern Alberta, Canada.

Statement:
This dataset was created using a dataset that was compiled in 2016/2017 to inform the Draft
Livingstone-Porcupine Hills Land Footprint Management Plan, which includes linear disturbance data from
a number of sources. The primary data source used in this inventory of linear disturbance was the
Government of Alberta's 1:20,000 base features dataset, including roads, pipelines, powerlines,
cutlines, and trails. These were supplemented with additional data from several other sources, including
Alberta Agriculture and Forestry Timber Operations, TrailNet, the Quad Squad, and the Great Divide Trail.
