Post-glacial Vegetation of Canada brings together all the available
information about the complex history of vegetational and
environmental change in Canada since the last Ice Age. As the lands
began to emerge from under the ice, they provided a large, varied
setting for the re-establishment of highly diverse plant cover
ranging from the modern tropical rain forests to the arctic tundra.
Professor Ritchie discusses the roles of climactic change,
wildfires, diseases, and biological factors in controlling the
emerging patterns of new plant growth. The initial chapters present
a balanced review of the modern bioclimates and vegetation of
Canada as an introduction to the historical record. A review of the
present pollen registration and the autecology of the important
plant taxa is provided by examining the fossil record, derived
primarily from pollen evidence. Students and researchers in the
natural history of Canada and the Northern regions will find
Post-glacial Vegetation of Canada a source of much information. It
will also appeal to those with interests in botany, geography,
geology, archaeology, and paleoecology.
