Description

The reference plant community is needleleaf woodland (Viereck et al. 1992) with the dominant tree being white spruce. There are five plant communities within the reference state related to fire. While the reference plant community, community 1.3, and community 1.5 are supported with plot data, plant communities 1.2 and 1.4 have limited data and are considered provisional concepts.
