North Yukon
Land Cover of Ecoregions
The Northern Yukon extends south from the Beaufort Sea coastline and covers seven
ecoregions within two ecozones (Taiga Cordillera and Southern Arctic). The terrain ranges from the coastal plain with tundra vegetation
to heavily forested areas such as the Fort McPherson plain to
areas with extensive wetlands such as Old Crow Flats. Prominent
mountain ranges, the British and Richardson Mountains, provide
additional diversity.
