An Introductory Comparison of Forest Ecological Conditions in Northeast China and Ontario, Canada

For two fairly similar areas, forest vegetation is compared in relation to broad features of the land. Items considered include location and land areas, history and forest resources, relief and climate, potential commercial tree species and vegetation regions, bedrock geology, soil parent materials and soil development. Ecological knowledge is considered important for the effective transfer of silvicultural technology and the exchange of plant material between the two areas.
