Vegetation communities and plant distributions and their relationships with parent materials in the forest‐tundra of northwestern Canada
Vegetation data from 95 sites and chemical and textural data for parent materials from 98 sites in subarctic northwestern Canada were analyzed by ordination, classification, and statistical techniques A discontinuity in plant species occurrence, vegetation communities, and parent materials takes pla...
