		In the densely-settled Carolinian zone of Southern Ontario, the tenets of reconciliation ecology would seem to be particularly relevant.
		In the Carolinian zone, where large patches of habitat are scarce, matrix management offers an attractive supplement to traditional reserve conservation.
		The insights provided by reconciliation ecology and matrix management suggest that conservation in the Carolinian zone may be aided by creating suitable habitat within the settled rural areas of the region.

	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 Carolinian life zone is rapidly losing its ground and the need to conserve small remnants should not be underestimated.
		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.

	Introduction - Rare Plants of Ontario
		The prevalent term for such a zone in modern scientific literature is biome, which recognizes that these zones differ from one another not only in the dominant vegetation of undisturbed habitats, but also with respect to all groups of plants, animals and microorganisms.
		In Ontario, however, the southernmost zone in the province is usually referred to as "Carolinian Life Zone" or "Carolinian Forest".
		This zone is devoid of trees; the vegetation is dominated by small shrubs, sedges, mosses, and lichens.

	Science and the Environment Bulletin: Science and Habitat Conservation
		Comprising the northernmost edge of the deciduous forest region in eastern North America, the Carolinian zone is the region of Ontario roughly south of an imaginary line between Grand Bend and Toronto.
		Carolinian forests used to cover well over 80 per cent of the region and now occupy only 11, with deep woods only half a per cent of the landscape.
		Environment Canada is also active in the recovery of endangered species in the Carolinian region—both as a member of multi-stakeholder recovery teams and through funding support—and is currently involved in efforts to restore and protect the king rail, prothonotary warbler, hooded warbler and Acadian flycatcher.

	Conserve Ontario's Carolinian Forests - Preserve Endangered Songbirds
		“Carolinian” is a name coined by early botanists, who observed that hardwood forests in southwestern Ontario share many characteristics with forests as far south as the Carolinas.
		Throughout the Carolinian Zone, agricultural and residential pressures have caused extensive wildlife habitat destruction.
		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.

		This is actually a vegetation zone, meaning that certain types of plants tend to grow there.
		Carolinian Canada makes up 1% of the country’s land, but has more plant and animal species than any other ecosystem in Canada.
		The watershed is home to animals such as Virginia opossums, badgers, southern flying squirrels, hognose snakes and eastern spiny softshell turtles, and plants like the pawpaw, tulip tree, fl gum and the sassafras tree.

	Naturalizing with Native Carolinian Plants
		Despite some similarities to the mixed wood forest to its north, the Carolinian zone is distinguished by native species and natural communities that are found much further south.
		As a transition zone between major ecological regions, the Canadian Carolinian zone also contains some northern species at the southern limits of the ranges and western prairie species at the eastern limit of their ranges.
		Unfortunately, in a time of increasing environmental challenges and shrinking conservation funding, the uniqueness of the Carolinian zone may be an insufficient argument for its preservation.

		The Carolinian zone's southern latitude and lake effects give this area a mild climate with long summers, mild winters and low snowfall.
		Here the Carolinian species mix with more northern species that are found in other parts of Ontario, creating a region of high diversity, especially compared to the rest of the province.
		In the Carolinian zone over 70 species of trees have been discovered compared to only 35 species of trees north of the Upper Great Lakes.

	LEPIDOPTERA - DISTRIBUTION PATTERNS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Species of Lepidoptera with a primarily southern range are arranged in three categories for discussion: those that occur north only into the Carolinian Zone (subzone 135) of southern Ontario; those that occur north through most or all of the Ecozone; and those that range well north of the Ecozone.
		The unusually high percentage of Carolinian species of Underwing Moths (Catocala) is due to the large number of species (14) that are restricted to Hickory (Carya) as a larval food plant; most of the Carolinian species belong to this group of Hickory feeders.
		Some Carolinian zone species in Canada are not widely distributed in the zone but are restricted to specific areas within the zone.
