Phase 2: Data Analysis and Classification
The Canadian National Vegetation Committee is extending the Canadian National Vegetation Classification to include vegetation associations in Arctic regions. This project has several Phases. Phase 1 was completed in January 2010 (de Groot et al. 2010). This report covers Phase 2: Data Analysis and Classification.
There were 5 deliverables for Phase 2: 1. Expanded classification database, including additional plot data 2. Expanded Arctic vegetation tracking table with new data sources 3. Updated plot distribution map 4. Arctic vegetation classification to the plant association and sub-association rank 5. Final report
Phase 2 also included identifying and acquiring data for the classification of Subarctic vegetation. The process of acquiring and assessing the quality and usability of existing vegetation plot data from the Canadian and Alaskan Arctic and Subarctic followed the methods described in de Groot et al. (2010). Arctic vegetation was classified into 48 plant associations in 4 orders and 23 plant associations in 3 habitat types.
