Description

The Athabasca Plain Natural Subregion occurs south of Lake Athabasca along the Alberta–Saskatchewan border. This subregion consists of strongly hummocky and rolling sandy and gravelly uplands occurring in the eastern and southern portions of the region with level to undulating sandy fluvial and eolian plains with some prominent dune fields occurring to the east and north. This guide represents the preliminary analysis of 129 plots described in the Athabasca Plain subregion. The 129 plots represent 36 plant community types within 12 ecological sites. Included in this approximation is a crosswalk table to the Alberta Wetland Classification System and new soil type descriptions.

Description

The second approximation of this guide represents the current analysis of 482 plots described in the Lower Boreal Highlands Natural Subregion. The boreal ecosection includes 227 plots that represent 37 plant community types and the foothills ecosection includes 255 plots that represent 47 plant community types. The dominant plant species, canopy cover, soil and environmental conditions are outlined for each plant community type, ecological site and ecological site phase. Included in this approximation is a crosswalk table to the Alberta Wetland Classification System and new soil type descriptions.
