About this book

Language: French

Flore Nordique du Québec et du Labrador, Volume 5 is the last of five volumes on the flora of vascular plants of northern Quebec and Labrador, from the 54th parallel north to Hudson Strait, from James Bay and Hudson Bay in the west, to Labrador Sea in the east. The book is the result of long-term collaborations between several Quebecois botanists. It brings together knowledge and unpublished data on northern plants from boreal, subarctic and arctic environments.

The volume presents the morphological characteristics of the taxa belonging to the Cyperaceae, both the eriophores (cottongrass) and the trichophores, the Rhynchospora, the bulrushes, the Eleocharis and more particularly the sedges (genus Carex). This volume includes an identification key for all plant families growing in this vast northern region. Botanical descriptions of each taxon are accompanied by photographs of plants and organs showing diagnostic features, plus a distribution map and a comment on the ecology and habitat of each species.

This book will serve as a reference for researchers and students interested in natural sciences, environmental professionals and the informed public who are interested in the plant heritage of Quebec and Labrador.

Summary in French:
Cet ouvrage est le dernier des cinq volumes consacrés à la Flore des plantes vasculaires des régions nordiques du Québec et du Labrador. Il est le fruit d’une longue collaboration entre plusieurs botanistes du Québec. Il rassemble des connaissances inédites sur les plantes nordiques des milieux boréaux, subarctiques et arctiques.

Le volume présente les caractéristiques morphologiques des taxons appartenant aux Cyperaceae, tant les ériophores (linaigrettes) que les trichophores, les rhynchospores, les scirpes, les éléocharides et plus particulièrement les laîches (Carex). La description botanique de chaque taxon est accompagnée de photographies des plants et des organes présentant des caractères diagnostiques, d’une carte de répartition et d’un commentaire sur l’écologie et l’habitat de chacun d’eux.

Voici un ouvrage de synthèse qui deviendra une référence incontournable et servira aux chercheurs et aux étudiants intéressés par les sciences naturelles, aux professionnels de l’environnement et au public averti qui s’intéressent au patrimoine végétal du Québec et du Labrador.
