of the west coast to the arid deserts, badlands and tundra plains, the biodiversity of Canada's plants is extensive. Many of the plants seen in Canada are introduced, either intentionally or accidentally. Canada offers a wide range of habitats across varied vegetation. Arctic Tundra can be found in Canada's north which leads south into boreal forests which is most typical of Canada and covers more of the country than any other type of vegetation. The Maritimes are home to the Acadian forests which are made up from spruce, for, birch, pine and maple trees. West of the Maritimes in Quebec and Ontario are the Laurentian Forests and Mountains leading into the Canadian Shield in the north and the Great Lakes in the south and west of Ontario. Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta make up Canada's prairie grasslands which contain mixed grasses but are mainly covered by farmed grains. Alberta
South of the tundra, on the Canadian Shield, summers are short and warm, and winters are long and cold. Annual precipitation is abundant, allowing coniferous forests to establish and grow. On the Pacific coast, the combination of heavy rainfall and mild temperatures year round supports Canada, Kärt Kalvet 8a temperate rain forests. On the Prairies, the large number of days of sunshine affects the development of the agricultural landscape. In the Maritimes, the Atlantic Ocean moderates the climate such that winters are generally long and mild, and summers are short and cool. These conditions help in the development of forests. Finally, around the Great Lakes and alongside the St. Lawrence River as far downstream as the city of Québec, the climate is characterized by relatively warm summers and cool winters, moderated by surrounding water bodies. These conditions are suitable to the development of mixed wood and broadleaf forests.
Léger has been called a progenitor of Pop art.[17] He was active as a teacher for many years. Among his pupils were Nadir Afonso, Robert Colescott, Charlotte Gilbertson, Hananiah Harari, Asger Jorn, Beverly Pepper, Victor Reinganum, Marcel Mouly and George L. K. Morris.
