The Aspen Parkland Transition Zone comprises the contact
zone between the prairie parkland and the greater boreal
ecosystems (Figure 1). Whereas the prairie biome is dominated
by grasses and the boreal biome by coniferous tree species and
mixed woods, the Aspen Parkland Transition Zone is dominated
by deciduous trees, especially Trembling Aspen (Populus tremuloides)
and Bur Oak (Quercus macrocarpa), in complex mosaics
with grassland and wetlands.
The Aspen Parkland Transition Zone is the only remaining
large area within the Golden-winged Warbler range where
Blue-winged Warbler does not occur. Thus, maintaining healthy
populations of Golden-winged Warbler in this area is critical.
