Boreal etc
Hi all:
Just a few little quibbles:
-It is not necessarily en "election year" in Ontario, Alberta or Canada at large.-Actually, the forests of the maritime provinces are not Boreal, they are a close relative mixed forest, the Acadian forest, which we share with the Northeastern USA.(
http://www.acadiau.ca/botanicalgardens/acadianForest.html ...That is to say, the natural forest is Acadian--thanks to forest plantations by the pulp and paper and lumber companies with the attendant suppression of hardwood growback, much of our forest does seem to be Boreal in nature.
I suspect, but will leave it to those more in-depth knowledge that I for confirmation, that the continually green Boreal is a superior carbon sink to the party-deciduous Acadian forest.
Anyway-- I hope you have a good time in the Maritimes; why not consider swinging through Nova Scotia as well--scenery, seafood and the best of Devonian fossils!
