Description
Summary:Four major vegetational communities in the region encompassing western Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, southern Keewatin, Minnesota and Wisconsin were sampled (where available) for the purpose of determining whether regional vegetational community relationships are correlated with regional climatic relationships. Climatic or climatically related environmental influences are of sufficient magnitude to result in discernable correlations with community differences using the techniques employed in this study, despite the recognized variability in statistical control of the non-climatic variables. Pertinent community relationships are revealed and the species and species groups contributing most importantly to these relationships are identified. The possibilities of achieving meaningful correlations between community differences and specific climatic parameters are discussed with a view to future work. (Author)
