The influence of snow depth and hardness on winter habitat selection by caribou on the southwest coast of Newfoundland
LaPoile Herd caribou winter in the coastal margin of their range in southwestern Newfoundland. Reduced snow depths near the coast (0-20 km inland), as a result of moderated winter temperatures and low elevations, appear to provide more favourable foraging conditions than do areas further inland.
