The Boreal Forest Natural Region: includes the Dry Mixedwood, Central Mixedwood, Lower Boreal Highlands, Upper Boreal Highlands, Athabasca Plain, Peace–Athabasca Delta, Northern Mixedwood, and Boreal Subarctic Natural Subregions. It occupies most of northern Alberta, and extends south almost to Calgary.

The shapefiles that were developed as part of the study "The extent of the North American boreal zone" by Natural Resource Canada’s Dr. J.P. Brandt are available for download. These spatial data are provided in a 21Mb ESRI shapefile.

The Aspen Parkland is a broad transition zone between the boreal forest in the east and north and the prairies. It marks the transition from grasslands to mountains in the west. This ecoregion represents the most extensive boreal–grassland transition in the world. It features a rich mosaic of grasslands, aspen groves and wetlands.

The Boreal Plains are found in the centre of Alberta, extending east through the centre of Saskatchewan and slightly south of centre Manitoba. Climate A more northerly extension of the Prairie ecozone to its south, the Boreal Plains ecozone endures mean annual temperatures of around freezing.

The boreal forest is a huge, resilient and constantly changing ecosystem, driven by the long term succession of tree species and the animals which inhabit them. The poster map graphically depicts the challenges of sustainable forest management of this beautiful and expansive resource.

The Boreal Plains Ecozone is part of the flat Interior Plains of Canada, a northern extension of the Great Plains of North America. The subdued relief consists of low-lying valleys and plains stretching across the mid portions of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and continuing through almost two-thirds of Alberta.

The objective of this study was to map dominant species groups across a large (>580,000 ha) boreal forest by combining area-based and individual tree metrics derived from single photon LiDAR...

This website includes a map of the Saskatchewan ecoregions (Prairie, Boreal Plain, Boreal Shield, and Taiga Shield) and general information on their characteristics, vegetation and wildlife.

In Canada, there are 20 ecozones, consisting of 15 terrestrial and 5 marine units. The vegetation varies from one ecozone to another. Forests cover totally or partially nine ecozones: Pacific Maritime, Montane Cordillera, Boreal Cordillera, Taiga Plains, Boreal Plains, Prairie, Boreal Shield, Mixedwood Plains, and Atlantic Maritime.
