A Classification of the Vegetation of Boothia Peninsula and the Northern District of Keewatin, N.W.T.
The vegetation of Boothia Peninsula and the northern District of Keewatin (212,500 km²) was surveyed, and a vegetation classification suitable for synoptic level surveys of wildlife habitat was produced. A total of 45 plant communities was recognized on Boothia Peninsula. Principal componen...
