Recovery sequence of Picea mariana – Vaccinium uliginosum forests after burning near Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada
Picea mariana – Vaccinium uliginosum vegetation was sampled in a north–south transect near Inuvik, N.W.T., Canada. Four stages in the postfire recovery sequence were described. Little qualitative change in vascular plants was found in the transect or with time since burning, although quantitative ch...
