Figure 5 - Regions of the world showing levels of climate matching each Canadian ecozone based on the CLIMEX modelling system.

Map twelve illustrates the areas of the world that have similar climates to the Taiga Shield Canadian ecozone which stretches across part of Canada's subarctic north. Areas with similar climate include small portions of Europe, United Kingdom and Scandinavia, areas throughout Russia and China, northern Manitoba and north-western Ontario and Quebec, Northwest and Yukon Territories, and Alaska.
