The Vascular Flora of Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland: A Habitat Classification Approach Based on Floristic, Biogeographical and Life-Form Data

  • Chapter
Book cover Quantitative approaches to phytogeography

Part of the book series: Tasks for vegetation science ((TAVS,volume 24))

Abstract

Newfoundland’s west coast has long been a center of attention for taxonomists and botanists interested in floristic and phytogeographical studies because of its peculiar flora. The importance of this area was first recognized by Fernald (1911, 1926, 1933) in the early part of this century. His pioneering explorations led to many important discoveries and resulted in two landmark papers concerning the phytogeography of the region of the Gulf of St Lawrence (Fernald 1924, 1925).
