Abstract

The effects of high water levels on forest margins were studied along the shores of the upper St. Lawrence estuary in Quebec. In recent decades lower limits of trees displaced landward along with a transgressive migration of beaches. Accompanying disturbance events by ice and waves caused many instances of damage to trees and shrubs. Anomalous growth forms, such as ice scars on stems, proliferating sprouts, irregular tree-ring patterns and severe decrease of population recruitment, were observed in the shoreline disturbance zone.
