New Brunswick
New Brunswick, Canada: 2 ecoregions. Each with its climate now and toward 2050, and its conservation tier.
Landscape and climate
Two ecoregions cover New Brunswick, both temperate broadleaf and mixed forests. The Northeastern Hardwoods hold the interior and the uplands, and are in the Nature Imperiled tier; the Gulf of St. Lawrence lowland forests cover the eastern and northern lowlands. This is Acadian forest country, a mix of conifer and hardwood that belongs to neither the boreal forest to the north nor the purely broadleaf forest to the south. For a garden that mix is the model: sugar maple, yellow birch and beech with spruce and fir among them, rather than a single canopy type. The coastal lowlands are milder and the interior is colder, and the difference is enough to matter for anything marginal.
