This article is about an ecozone . For the landform covering the same region, see Canadian Shield . The Boreal Shield Ecozone is the largest Ecozones of Canada ecozone in Canada . Formation Canadian Shield rock forms the nucleus of the North American continent. Other geology geological structures assumed positions around or on top of the Shield millions of years after it was formed. The Rocky Mountains are relative newcomers on the geological stage, having risen a mere 60 million years ago. Most Shield rocks were formed well over a billion years earlier, during the very first chapter of the planet s history known as the Precambrian era . What once may have been a towering mountain chain is today a great rolling plain of ancient bedrock . During the late Precambrian era, fierce convulsions in the Earth s crust geology crust resulted in a warped, collapsed Shield. The foundation of much of the ecozone is now metamorphic rocks metamorphic gneiss , a highly banded rock formed by intense pressure and heat. Many of the minerals that contribute to the Shield s economy may have formed during these geologically turbulent times. During the last ice age , which ended 10 000 years ago, the advance of glacier s continuously plucked and scoured the Boreal Shield, forming Glacial striation striation s in the bedrock and carrying large boulders many kilometers. In retreat, massive glaciers enveloped most of the landscape with great amounts of glacial deposits including gravel, sand, shale, and numerous sediments. The vast majority of inadequately drained depressions that were left behind, as well as natural faults in the bedrock, now form the millions of lakes, ponds and wetlands that give this ecozone its distinctive character. Changing conditions As for the boreal forest, fire suppression, insect control, clear cutting and single species tree farming are widespread. These practices may, over the long term, reduce the diversity of both plant and animal species and increase the forest ... more details

The Australian academic journal Oceania was founded in 1930. It publishes contributions in the field of social and cultural anthropology , and its primary regional orientation is to the peoples of Oceania , primarily comprising Australia , Melanesia , Polynesia , Micronesia and southeast Asia . The central concern of the journal lies with papers that are the product of sustained ethnographic research, but review articles and papers that have direct bearing on the central ethnographic concerns of the journal are also published. Correspondence and shorter comments are published at the discretion of the editor. There are typically five articles per issue and six to ten book reviews. As an example of the range of topics featured, a recent issue featured articles on land wars, land utilisation and aboriginal self determination. Occasionally, an issue is devoted to a single topic, comprising thematically connected collections of papers prepared by a guest editor. Oceania is a fully refereed journal which is published in print and online versions three times a year, in March, July and November. The current Editor is Neil Maclean anthropologist Neil Maclean of the Department of Anthropology of the University of Sydney .
