Survey Description
In May and June 1991, vegetation samples were collected from 536 sites within a 4000 km2 area of southeastern Cape Breton Island. The sampling grid was irregular because of the difficulty in accessing some areas. The principal sampling medium was black spruce bark (collected at an average density of 1 sample per 15 km2), but black spruce twigs, balsam fir twigs and larch (also known as tamarack) bark and twigs were also collected. The black spruce bark data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 2558 and the balsam fir twig data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 2758.
