2 The Natural Vegetation Regions that are part of the Ontario Region are: Tundra Boreal Forest Boreal Shrubs Mixed Forest Deciduous Forest

3 Northern most vegetation region of Ontario located just above the tree line Little tree growth due to cold, dry climate Short growing season with very little precipitation Lichens, mosses and small shrubs grow near the ground

4 This vegetation region is the largest of the four regions in Ontario Coniferous trees, evergreens and deciduous trees are grown in this region In this region there is a cold, short growing season with a very low precipitation The soil in this region is thin, grey and infertile due to the high acid level Extends from the northern limits of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence forest to the Hudson Bay Lowlands

5 This region makes up north of the Ontario region This region also has deciduous trees, coniferous trees and evergreens The precipitation rate in this vegetation region is very low The soil is very infertile because of the cold short growing season

6 This vegetation region includes the southeast cities in Ontario Many trees are found in this region, such as maple, beech, ash, oak and birch trees as well as small shrubs There is a moderate temperature rate in this region with warm summers and cooler winters There is also a regular abundant precipitation in this region The soil is very fertile and is rich in minerals

7 This is the smallest natural vegetation region in Ontario The trees included in this region are maple, hickory, beech, ash and deciduous trees The temperature in this area has hot summers and mild winters The precipitation in this region is plentiful The soil in this region is very fertile and contains humus with a low acidity level contains 1 percent of Ontario’s forests

8 Ontario is a province with a wide range or vegetation The Tundra occupies the most northerly part of the province above the tree line Below this region in Ontario is the Boreal Forest/ Shrubs where there is a large growth of coniferous and evergreen trees South of the Boreal forest is the Mixed Forest, which is the transition between the Boreal and Deciduous forest Both coniferous and deciduous trees are found in this region In southern Ontario there is the Deciduous Forest where the vegetation is disappearing due to industrialization of the area Most trees in this region are of the hardwood type such as maple, hickory and ash
