Field studies in the Hudson Bay Lowland ecoregion of northern Ontario during 2010 resulted in the discovery of four native vascular plant species not previously confirmed from the province: Arctic Bellflower (Campanula uniflora; Campanulaceae), Lapland Diapensia (Diapensia lapponica; Diapensiaceae), Alpine Azalea (Kalmia procumbens; Ericaceae), and Alpine Brook Saxifrage (Saxifraga rivularis; Saxifragaceae). These four species are widespread arctic plants occurring in both North America and Eurasia and were found on the Sutton Ridges, a Precambrian bedrock inlier surrounded by the extensive wetlands of the Hudson Bay Lowland.

ABSTRACT Amino acid studies have identified pre-Holocene non-glacial sediments in the Hudson Lowland which are significantly younger than Bell Sea sediments of the Missinaibi Formation. This younger unit is represented by marine sediments on the Severn and Abitibi rivers. Buried organic material on Beaver River is correlated with the younger Severn and Abitibi river marine sediments based on amino acid evidence. Assuming that Bell Sea sediments are of last interglacial (130-120 ka) age, the younger nonglacial sediments may have been deposited late in 18O stage 5 (80-75 ka). Paleoecologic studies of the Beaver River organics indicate climate at least as warm as present.
