The forests and woodlands of Labrador, Canada: ecology, distribution and future management
Abstract Labrador, Canada is the last relatively undeveloped landmass of Boreal and subarctic Canada. Its land area is over 288,000 km 2 , with less than 1% developed, and a human population of below 30,000. Labrador is greater than 60% forest‐ and woodland‐covered and over 30% tundra, soil and rock...
