Abstract

Polygonal ground patterning expressed by the distribution of tree species has been widely observed in the Maritimes Canada. The differential distribution of trees arose because poorly drained peripheral gullies contrasted with drier polygon centres. This patterning shows the closest similarity with polygonal ground structures forming today in the arctic, and so they probably originated during deglaciation at the close of the Pleistocene.
