North Yukon

Land Cover of Ecoregions

The North Yukon reporting unit extends south from the Beaufort Sea coastline and covers seven ecoregions. They range 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.
