The Canadian wetland classification system / National Wetlands Working Group, Canada Committee on Ecological Land Classification.: En73-3/21E-PDF
"The development of a nationally applicable wetland classification system in Canada was first envisaged in 1973 with the completion of an organic terrain classification system by the National Committee on Forest Lands. Subsequently Zoltai et al. (1975) proposed a four-level, hierarchical, ecologically based wetland classification system. This was refined for Canadian wetland classification by Tarnocai (1980), Jeglum et al. (1974) and Millar (1976) refined regional wetland classifications for Ontario and the Prairies"--p. [1]
