Ecological Phytogeography of the Southern Yukon Territory (Canada)

  • Chapter
Quantitative approaches to phytogeography

Part of the book series: Tasks for vegetation science ((TAVS,volume 24))

Abstract

This paper analyzes the relations between the present distribution of boreal plants and their ecological requirements. Based on a survey carried out in the southern Yukon (Canada), a large, phytogeographically interesting region whose vegetation was rather poorly known, the paper includes a classification of the vegetation into community types, their ecological characterization on the basis of direct data, and a phytogeographic analysis based on the world ranges of all relevant vascular plant species. Multivariate methods of classification and ordination were used in extensive vegetational, ecological and phytogeographic coordinated analyses to study the correlation between some major ecological factors and the frequencies within communities of species with similar world distribution.
