Landscape Mapping in the Mackenzie River Valley
Terrain over a wide area of the Mackenzie River valley was evaluated on the basis of vegetation-landform patterns, identifiable in air photographs as landscape units, which could be grouped into regions with climatic connotations. From a ground inspection of selected sites, it was shown that each la...
