Phase 3: Sub-Arctic Database Completion and...
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 3: Sub-Arctic Database Completion and Arctic Vegetation Classification Association Descriptions. There were 6 deliverables for Phase 3: 1. A revised comprehensive Arctic vegetation classification, at the plant association and sub- association rank, but including a provisional taxonomic hierarchy, compatible with standards of the CVNC 2. CNVC “short” preliminary factsheets for each arctic vegetation association 3. Expanded Subarctic classification database, including additional vegetation and ecological plot/releve data and standardized species nomenclature 4. Expanded vegetation tracking table, including new data sources 5. Updates plot distribution map, with locations of additional data entered into the classification database 6. Final report Phase 3 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). The plot database now contains plots from 10,673 plots. The vegetation classification identified 58 vegetation associations. Factsheets were produced for each association.
