Eriophorum angustifolium
To survive here plants have to be adapted to the damp conditions and the dominant tree is black spruce ("Picea mariana") while the boggier areas have the dwarf birches ("Betula glandulosa" and "Betula nana") along with shrubs and sedges such as "Eriophorum angustifolium" and "Carex" and herbs such as "Menyanthes trifoliata", "Petasites frigidus" and "Comarum palustre". Well-drained areas have communities of white spruce ("Picea glauca"), black cottonwood ("Populus trichocarpa") and quaking aspen ("Populus tremuloides").
