Climate change and the BEC zones: A study of climate change effects on the CDFmm and CWHxm BEC subzones
Abstract
The aim of this research was to conduct various surveys and
collect data at multiple locations on South Eastern
Vancouver Island. The study tested the gathered data
against several statistical methods and explored if there is
any evidence of climate change causing the potential
expansion of the Coastal Douglas-fir (CDF) zone into the adjacent Coastal Western Hemlock (CWH) zone,
using selected CDF zonal site indicator plant species.
