Front 7

Mostly cultivated with scattered remnant prairie areas, more extensive rangelands at higher elevations, dark brown chernozemic soils, slightly moister with somewhat cooler summers and milder winters, dominated by grasses, herb and shrubs typical of moister areas

What is the region and subregion

Back 7

Grassland/ Mixedgrass

Front 8

Mostly cultivated with mosaic of aspen and prairie vegetation in remnant native areas, black chernozems, some dark grey and significant areas of solonetzic soils, temperature, precipitation and growing season intermediate between the dry warm grasslands to the south and the cooler moister boreal forests to the west and north

What is the region and subregion

Back 8

Parkland/ Central Parkland

Front 9

Lodgepole pine in pure and mixed stands on mesic sites, differentiating this subregion for boreal forest to the east and north, soils variable but in general grey luvisols dominate uplands while gleysolic soils are common on poorly drained lower slopes, transitional area with cold winters typical of the boreal forest and higher winter snowfalls found in mountainous areas

What is the region and subregion

Back 9

Foothills /Lower foothills

Front 10

Aspen stands with scattered white spruce interspersed with fens, cultivated crops on suitable soils, grey and dark grey luvisols on uplands with gleysols and organic soils in wetland areas, warmer summers and milder winters than other subregions

What is the region and subregion

Back 10

Boreal forest/ Dry mixedwood

Front 11

A mosaic of aspen, mixedwood and white spruceforests on uplands with extensive areas of mainlytreed fens in central areas and jack pine stands tothe east, Grey luvisols on medium to fine-textured uplandsites with brunisols on sands and organic soils inpoorly drained lowlands, On average slightly cooler and moister than thedry mixedwood subregion, but its vast arearesults in considerable variation north-south
