Ecosystem classification mapping of Chignecto (Amherst Point Sanctuary) and Tintamarre National Wildlife Area / by Michael F. Malone.: CW66-1399/1977E-PDF

"The need for a vegetation cover map of each National Wildlife Area was acknowledged at several National Wildlife Area Committee meetings in 1976 when the lack of such basic information on habitat was found to hinder wildlife management decisions. Knowledge of vegetative cover on a broad scale, showing species composition and patterning of plant communities, is a fundamental pre-requisite for effective habitat and wildlife management because (1) plants play an important role as a food resource and cover component to wildlife; and, (2) plants are indicators of soil and water characteristics including pH and basic fertility. This information is important to the management of wetland wildlife, the focus of Atlantic Region National Wildlife Areas"--Introduction, page 1.
