“…Dupuis et al (2011), along with Romer et al (2010) conducted similar studies on pre-settlement forest composition in Quebec, and Lutz (1997) focused graduate studies in New Brunswick, modeling forests in early settlement times using survey data as a base. In Ontario, works by Chanasyk (1970), Clarke and Finnegan (1984), Clarke (1969), Harris et al (1975), Janusas (1987), Leadbitter (2000), Leadbitter et al (2002), Moss and Hoskings (1983), Pile (1969), Runge (1976), Strath-Davis (1986), and Thompson (2006), all somehow access and use ESD to regenerate vegetation conditions prior to European settlement.…”

Key Messages Early survey data from Ontario and elsewhere in Canada are vastly under‐utilized research resources. Pre‐settlement vegetation data embedded in early survey notes provide reliable baseline data sets for vegetation mapping. Existing vegetation maps derived from early survey data are largely unknown and inaccessible, but are now inventoried and available online through the University of Waterloo Library's Geospatial Centre.

“…In many landscapes of eastern North America, natural vegetation (pflmar~ forest) has been reptaced by ~-culture (Curtis 1956;Auclair 1976;Burgess & Sharpe 1981;Moss & Hosking 1983;Whimey & Somerlot 1985;Sharpe et al 1987). In some areas, especially in portions of the eastern United States, agriculture did not prove to be economically viable and natural vegetation became reestablished foUowing farm abandonment Oohnson & Sharpe 1976;Turner 1987;Turner & Ruscher 1988).…”

as soon as possible it is being issued in fascicles that may be held in a looseleaf binder. This mode of publication has the advantage of permitting us to update maps and to add species as more information becomes known. We hope that the atlas will help in planning the re-exploration of known rare plant localities and that it will help in the recognition of unique areas that are characterized by concentrations of rare plants. The mapping of specimens by date of collection, furthermore, gives some idea of the past range of rare species and can help to detect declining populations. Our present information base only enables us to recognize rarity, but it is important to proceed beyond this point as soon as possible to the recognition of Ontario plants that may be threatened, endangered, or already extirpated.The information on which we are basing the atlas is as complete and up-to-date as possible. As plant collectors continue to find new localities for species, however, it will be necessary to make changes in the range and status given for some species. We hope that collectors will call significant new records to our attention. A. Definitions.In defining the following terms we have generally followed the usage recommended by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada.The words species and plant are used to refer to Atlas of the Rare Vascular Plants of Ontario/Atlas des plantes vasculaires rares de l'Ontario
