	Carolinian Forest Plants
		Forests are almost always spoken of in terms of the trees that define their appearance.
		These forests are aglow with light green in the spring when there is still a great deal of light penetrating to the forest floor and new leaves are opening from their buds.
		As a result, many herbaceous plants in these forests flower in spring to take advantage of the available sunlight and become dormant in summer, losing their leaves and disappearing from view during the time when there is less light.

	Survival Strategies for the Small Woodlot Forest
		The nature of the problem for the forest industry in general, and for forest ecologies in my region, is simple: we are taking too much and too frequently, without regard for the forest ecosystem.
		The Acadian forest region is a unique temperate forest because it is a transitional forest that connects the Northern Boreal forest and the Carolinian forest that dominates the landscape south of us.
		Much of the original forest is gone (it is estimated that there is less than 1% of Old Growth left), and the secondary forest is degraded by a loss of a number of species from their former range; Red Spruce is one of these species.

	Ontario Heritage Trust - Carolinian Canada
		A narrow band of Carolinian forest extends along the north shores of Lake Erie and western Lake Ontario.
		Although this Carolinian zone comprises less than a quarter of one percent of Canada's land area, it is home to more types of flora and fauna than anywhere else in the country.
		Carolinian Canada is a cooperative project set up in 1984 by the Province of Ontario and non-profit conservation groups to preserve the ecological diversity of this zone.

	Global Forest Watch Canada (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Canada's Forests at a Crossroads: An Assessment in the Year 2000 is the manifestation of one goal of Global Forest Watch Canada (available at www.globalforestwatch.org).
		Canada is home to over a third of the world’s boreal forest, one quarter of the world’s temperate forests and a tenth of the total global forest cover.
		Many forests in southern Canada are becoming depleted and/or their biodiversity increasingly threatened (i.e., roughly 60% of Canada's endangered forest-dwelling species are found in the Carolinian Forest Region, and; there are over 150 plant communities at risk within the coastal temperate rainforest).

	Forest Ethics : Audubon -- The Final Frontier
		The forest seems muted by screens of needled branches, the dampening effect of the moss, and a steady drizzle of spring rain—all of which focuses our attention on the songs of birds ringing and fluting immediately overhead.
		Raked by glaciers, the land beneath the boreal forest tends to be grooved or gently rolling, and consists of a tight mosaic of randomly deposited glacial substrates.
		Instead of protecting small pockets of the forest for conservation and leaving the rest wide open to unchecked development, the CBI is proposing a collaborative process that envisions using innovative sustainable development practices for specific portions of the boreal—the rest, CBI proposes, should remain interconnected and untouched.

	Conserve Ontario's Carolinian Forest: Preserve Endangered Songbirds – Canadian Wildlife Service, Ontario Region
		The majority of forest songbirds in Canada are neotropical migrants, which means that they breed in North America in the summer months and winter in Central and South America, or the Caribbean.
		Recovery actions are needed to ensure the conservation of the remaining Carolinian forests in Ontario.
		In Canada, the largest amount of forest cover within the Carolinian Zone is found in Norfolk and Elgin counties, which are 25 and 16 per cent forested, respectively.

	Welcome to Canterbury Hills
		Carolinian forest in Canada is unfortunately known more for the forces that threaten it than for its incredible biological diversity.
		Over two centuries of settlement, forest clearing and urban development have spared less than 5% of the original Canadian Carolinian woodland, with much of this fragmented into isolated woodlots of questionable long-term viability.
		A professional managed forest study was done in 2000 and we have adopted the recommendation of that report.

	Carolinian Canada
		Carolinian Canada is an area in southern Ontario found south of an imaginary line which runs generally from Grand Bend to Toronto.
		The Carolinian life zone is actually the northernmost edge of the deciduous forest region in eastern North America, and is named after the Carolina states.
		As well several mammals such as the Badger, the Gray fox, and the Virginia Opossum are primarily restricted to the Carolinian forest.

	The GRAND RIVER "Great Canadian Rivers"
		Carolinian Climate The Grand River Forest, a narrow ribbon of land between Cambridge and Paris, closely resembles the habitat of the Carolinas in the southeastern United States.
		Known as a Carolinian forest, this diverse ecosystem supports over 800 plant species, including oaks, hickories, butternuts and the sun-loving sassafras, tulip and mulberry trees.
		Like a boggy river bookend, the Luther Marsh on the Dundalk Plateau at the head of the Grand is an ecological metropolis, the pinnacle in a watershed of such diversity that it counts a genuine Carolinian forest and a rare hillside Prairie fen in its nature inventory.

	Carolinian Species & Habitats - Forest Flora
		The American, or sweet chestnut tree was once a major component of forests in eastern North America, until it was wiped out by the chestnut blight earlier this century.
		The Redbud is only known from one historic natural occurrence on Pelee Island, and is considered extirpated as a native species, but it is widely introduced as a 'Carolinian' species in home gardens, and is a beautiful species to plant with its small pink blossoms that appear in May before the leaves come out.
		Sycamore is one of the largest in the deciduous forest and reaches its largest size and abundance on alluvial soils along streams and in bottom lands.

	Introduction - Rare Plants of Ontario
		Many of the Carolinian species are absent however, and some tree species that are infrequent in the Carolinian forest are among the dominants in this zone.
		The southern part of this zone, where the forest is dense and the trees are relatively large, constitutes the Closed Boreal Forest (Canadian Life Zone).
		Some rare species, although restricted to the Carolinian zone, are not part of the characteristic flora of the Carolinian forest.

	RICHMOND STREET FOREST
		The Carolinian term has been applied because some of the species that inhabit the forest range from southern Ontario to South Carolina in the United States.

		The final outcome permits 10.3 acres of the forest to be zoned as open space with eight additional acres serving as a natural corridor between the forest and Lake Gibson.

	The Walter Bean Grand River Trail - The Carolinian Forest Region
		Moyer's Blair Landing is situated along the northern boundary of the Carolinian Forest Region of Canada.
		This region, also known as the Deciduous Forest Region, is limited in Canada to southwestern Ontario, south of an undulating line which connects Grand Bend on Lake Huron to Toronto on Lake Ontario.
		The Carolinian Forest Region gets its name from the presence of a large number of plant and animal species whose ranges extend into Ontario but are more or less centered on the Piedmont Region of North Carolina.

	Carolinian Forest Soil/Climate
		Carolinian forests have soils that are very well developed with considerable organic matter from leaves that are deposited each fall.
		There is usually a noticeable surface layer of leaf 'litter' present, which allows an abundance of beetles and other invertebrates to colonize the forest floor.
		These soils are typically moist due in part to the forest floor being covered with leaf litter and shaded by the tree canopy.
