Newfoundland and Labrador

Newfoundland and Labrador spans two very different worlds: the island of Newfoundland, with its maritime boreal forests, bog-covered interior, and dramatic fjord coastline, and Labrador, which transitions from the taiga of the south to subarctic barrens and ultimately Arctic landscape in the far north. Both regions have endemic plant communities shaped by glacial history, and native plant sourcing must account for the island's isolation — Newfoundland plants are genetically distinct from mainland populations of the same species.
