Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu.

Continental water, northern forest resources, and petroleum exploration are now pressing concerns of the northern development comples and all involve wise analysis of the nature of muskeg. The muskeg environment comprises ecosystems characterizing at least 180,000 square miles of our country, an area bigger than Quebec and the maritime Provinces combined. Muskeg is found from the tow of the Ellesmere Ice Cap to the border with the United States, and it reaches all three sea coasts. It occurs to considerable depth, sometimes to about 100 feet.
