Abstract

A total of 53 upland mixed communities were sampled and classified into five community types: Populus tremuloides/Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, Populus tremuloides/Shepherdla canadensis, Betula papyrifera-Populus tremuloides/Viburnum edule, Betula papyrifera-Populus tremuloldes/Alnus crispa and Picea glauca-Betula papyrlfera/Hylocomlum splendens. Community types were described by distribution and physical environment, vegetation composition, structural features, and relation to previously described vegetation units.
