Studies on lichen-dominated systems. III. Phytosociology of a raised-beach system near Cape Henrietta Maria, northern Ontario

Abstract
A modified version of the Braun–Blanquet technique for the analysis of plant associations was applied to an area of lichen-dominated raised-beach system near Cape Henrietta Maria in subarctic northern Ontario. Eleven plant associations were extracted which appear to follow ecological gradients related to water availability, soil pH, and the presence/absence of a peaty substratum. It was concluded that this type of association analysis fulfilled all the major objectives of a preliminary survey.
