The aspen parkland vegetation zone in central Canada represents a climatically sensitive region where a combination of temperature, effective moisture, and fire may control the dynamics of the boreal ecotone to the north and the grassland ecotone to the south.
These results suggest that regional shifts to drier conditions at ~10,000-9,000 BP followed by wetter conditions ~ 4,000 BP occurred across the entire aspen parkland zone but that within-lake and terrestrial dynamics were more variable at the boreal ecotone.
Treeline ecotones, such as the prairie-forest boundary, represent climatically sensitive regions where the relative abundance of vegetation types is controlled by complex interactions between climate and local factors.
