Ecoregions of Canada

Ecoregions of Canada

The main biomes of Canada are:

* Tundra
* Boreal forest
* Mixed forest
* Broadleaf forest
* Prairies
* Rocky Mountains - vegetation includes various types of tundra and forests
* Temperate coniferous forests, of which the Temperate rain forests of coastal British Columbia is an example.
* Deciduous forests

Deciduous trees native to Ontario are: sugar maple, white oak, northern red oak, black oak, tulip trees, Hackberry, horsechestnut, silver maple, sycamore and green ash. These trees are mostly what you see in southern ontario. Once you start going north though, you start getting pine trees as you hit the boreal forest.
