The Mixedwood Plains ecozone consists of the St. Lawrence River valley of Quebec and Ontario and the inter-Great Lakes region of southern Ontario. The ecozone is the most populated in Canada and the most intensely developed.... The climate consists of warm summers and cool winters. Once heavily forested, the Mixedwood Plains ecozone contains the greatest variety of tree species in Canada, though only about 10% of the forests, mostly a mixture of coniferous and deciduous trees, remains. Though relatively small in land area, the ecozone is very important agriculturally. The fertile soils, warm growing season, abundant rainfall and gentle topography of rolling hills and level plains result in a very productive and varied agriculture. The ecozone contains the most productive soils in Canada. Dairy, beef, poultry and eggs, and grains and oilseeds are important agricultural commodities. Orchards, fruit and vegetable production and vineyards can also be found throughout the ecozone. 3, record 1, English, - mixedwood%20plains%20ecozone

L'écozone des Plaines à forêts mixtes occupe la région des Grands Lacs et la vallée du Saint-Laurent. Le climat se caractérise par des étés humides et très chauds et par des hivers frais. En raison de sa situation géographique, de ses cours d'eau, de son relief peu accentué, de ses sols fertiles, de sa chaude saison de végétation et de ses précipitations abondantes, l'écozone est devenue une des régions les plus densément peuplées et les plus intensément exploitées du Canada. [...] Environ 85 % de ces personnes vivent dans les agglomérations urbaines de l'axe Québec-Windsor. Autrefois, lorsque l'écozone était fortement boisée, elle présentait une plus grande diversité d'arbres et de plantes que toute autre région du Canada. Un très fort pourcentage des espèces en péril au Canada s'y trouvent. La plus grande partie de la forêt de feuillus a été abattue et remplacée par des fermes, des vergers, des routes et des villes. Dans certains secteurs de l'extrême sud-ouest de l'Ontario, la forêt occupe aujourd'hui moins de 3 % du territoire. Deux siècles de colonisation et de développement ont ainsi amené l'émergence d'un paysage fragmenté caractéristique, constitué d'une mosaïque de terres en culture, de secteurs urbanisés et de lambeaux de végétation naturelle. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9cozone%20des%20plaines%20%C3%A0%20for%C3%AAts%20mixtes

écozone des plaines à forêts mixtes : On voit souvent cette expression écrite avec une majuscule aux mots «plaines» et/ou «forêts», comme s'il s'agissait d'un nom propre. Le Guide du rédacteur de l'administration fédérale précise qu'«un nom commun peut devenir un nom propre s'il a acquis une valeur unique dans un contexte restreint», auquel cas on peut utiliser la majuscule initiale. Il est à noter, cependant, que seul le mot «plaines» peut prendre une majuscule initiale (jamais le mot «forêts»). 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9cozone%20des%20plaines%20%C3%A0%20for%C3%AAts%20mixtes
