Summary

Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) stands were sampled in central Yukon, Canada (61.5?64°N latitude), which represented the northernmost 9% of the tree's North American range. Within this area, lodgepole pine occupied only ? 2% of the landscape. This study determined: 1) what forest sociations occurred (i.e. structural dominance-types); 2) how plant growth form composition and richness differed from the central portion of the species? geographical range; and 3) if stands were biased towards occurring on more thermally favorable south-facing slopes. Five lodgepole pine sociations were recognized among 100 relevés: Rhododendron groenlandicum (Labrador tea); Cladonia arbuscula (green reindeer lichen); Calamagrostis purpurascens [...]
