Emprise et déprise de l'agriculture sur le territoire de l'est de l'Ontario de 1826 à 2006: la dimension environnementale

Abstract: Les comtés de Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry (SDG), dans l'Est‐ontarien, sont parmi les premiers àêtre colonisés en Ontario, à partir de 1784. Les établissements se retrouvent au sein de la forêt où les milieux humides sont abondants. Bien que ces derniers aient presque disparu, le paysage est aujourd'hui relativement boisé, ne laissant pas entrevoir les changements radicaux qu'il a subis au cours des deux derniers siècles. L'étude des recensements de 1826 à 2006 révèle la nature et le rythme des changements d'… Show more

“…The decrease in overall farmland area is primarily composed of decreases in pasture, woodland and wetlands in farm ownership, while cropland area remained relatively stable. Land clearing for agriculture peaked around 1920 when forest cover in southern Ontario was about 10.6% (Larson et al 1999;Blancher et al, 2007), although Figure 2 suggests the peak was earlier, in 1891 (also see Watelet, 2009).…”

“…So some forests, wetlands and former pastures appear to have shifted ownership to the growing number of non-farm landowners, consistent with the shift in rural populations (Milburn, 2011). The re-growth of forest cover, primarily in central, eastern and northern regions of Ontario (Larson et al, 1999;Blancher et al, 2007;Watelet, 2009), is a land use transition occurring across eastern North America and most developed countries (Rudel et al, 2005;Nickerson et al, 2011). However, in the last number of years with higher crop commodity prices, anecdotal evidence suggests some hedgerows, forests and small wetlands may be undergoing conversion to annual crops.…”
