Abstract
New Brunswick was divided into 11 climatic regions by means of three multivariate statistical analyses (principal component analysis, R and Q type, and cluster analysis) of data on precipitation, various temperature parameters, elevation, latitude, and longitude for 76 climatological stations. These regions form the first-level division for a forest site classification scheme being implemented in New Brunswick. Comparison of the climatic and geological maps of New Brunswick with the plant community distribution shows that either climatic or geologic parameters may control the distribution of the vegetation.
