Vegetation zones of Canada : a biogeoclimatic perspective / K. Baldwin, L. Allen, S. Basquill, K. Chapman, D. Downing, N. Flynn, W. MacKenzie, M. Major, W. Meades, D. Meidinger, C. Morneau, J-P. Saucier,...: Fo123-2/25-2020E-PDF

"Vegetation zones of Canada: a biogeoclimatic perspective maps Canadian geography in relation to gradients of regional climate, as expressed by potential vegetation on zonal sites. Compared to similar national scale-products, Vegetation zones of Canada benefits from the work of provincial and territorial ecological classification programs over the last 30+ years, incorporating this regional knowledge of ecologically significant climatic gradients into a harmonized national map. This new map, reflecting vegetation and soils adapted to climates prior to approximately 1960, can serve as a broad-scale (approximately 1:5 M to 1:10 M) geospatial reference for monitoring and modeling effects of climatic changes on Canadian ecosystems"--Abstract, page 3.
