| Summary: | ABSTRACT. An extensive willow thicket community containing Salix of tree size was dis-covered in a river valley thirty-two miles southeast of Deception Bay (61“31’N., 74”5‘W.) ln northern Ungava. This disjunct community seemed unusual enough to merit investigation. Ecological studies were conducted to det,ermine compositional and environmental features. The development and persistence of the community is discussed in relation to the existing climate and glacial history of the region as it is understood a t present. RfiSUM$. Une “For & arctique ” dans la toundra du nord de l’Ungava, Province de Qudbec. On a découvert, dans une vallée fluviale, h, 32 milles au sud-est de la baie Déception (61”31’N. 74”5’0.) dans le nord de l’Ungava, un vaste peuplement de saules en taillis comprenant du Sulix de taille arborescente. Ce peuplement semblait suffisamment rare pour justifier une étude. Des recherches écologiques déterminbrent les facteurs de composition et de milieu. Les auteurs examinent le développement et la persistance de ce peuplement par rapport au climat actuel et B l’état présent des connaissances sur l’histoire glaciaire de la région.
