Read articleCanada's plant communities span a broad range of climatic zones, from the boreal forests of the north to the coastal rain forests of British Columbia and the grassland ecosystems of the interior plains. Each region supports distinct assemblages of native species shaped by soil type, precipitation, and disturbance history.
The articles on this site focus on visual identification features, preferred habitats, and geographic ranges of species that can be reliably observed in the field. Information draws on publicly available botanical records, provincial herbarium data, and peer-reviewed flora accounts.
