These forests, like so much of Canada at this latitude, are a mixture of conifers and deciduous trees including quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides), balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera), white spruce (Picea glauca), paper birch (Betula papyrifera), black spruce (Picea mariana), jack pine (Pinus banksiana) and balsam fir (Abies balsamea).
The peg-like base of the needles, or pulvinus, in Norway spruce (Picea abies) Pulvini remain after the needles fall (white spruce, Picea glauca). Determining that a tree is a spruce is not difficult; evergreen needles that are more or less quadrangled, and especially the pulvinus, give it away.
Trees of the woodland include White pine (Pinus strobus) and Red pine (Pinus resinosa) with paper birch (Betula papyrifera) and Quaking aspen, and Jack pine (Pinus banksiana) forests, Black spruce (Picea mariana), White spruce (Picea glauca), Balsam fir (Abies balsamifera), Tamarack (Larix laricina), Northern white cedar (Thuja occidentalis ...
The dominant trees of the taiga are black spruce (Picea mariana) and tamarack (Larix laricina), mixed with smaller numbers of white spruce (Picea glauca), dwarf birches, willows, laurels, and rhododendrons. The boglands are a habitat of sedges and sphagnum moss.
On the coastal plain the dominant trees are fir and white spruce (Picea glauca), with white birch and to a lesser extent jack pine (Pinus banksiana), larch (Larix laricina) and trembling aspen. [4] Fish include Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) downstream from the Quatorze Arpents Falls. The Atlantic salmon use the river for breeding.
Common trees found on the mainland and islands includes black spruce (Picea mariana), jack pine (Pinus banksiana), white spruce (Picea glauca), and paper birch (Betula papyrifera) [7] In a 2005 study of flora in the park, the first record of Carex echinata (star sedge) was found on Burntwood Island.
The dominant trees in this region are black spruce (Picea mariana), white spruce (Picea glauca), lutz spruce (Picea x lutzii), quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides), balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera), black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) and paper birch (Betula papyrifera).
