From Anderson et al. (1976):
Evergreen Forest Land includes all forested areas in which the trees are predominantly those which remain green throughout the year. Both coniferous and broadleaved evergreens are included in this category. The coniferous evergreens are commonly referred to or classified as softwoods. They include such species as the spruces (Picea) and balsam fir (Abies balsamea); white pine (Pinus strobus), red pine (Pinus resinosa) and jack pine (Pinus banksiana); and hemlock (Tsuga canadensis). Evergreen species commonly associated with Wetland, such as tamarack (Larix laricina) or black spruce (Picea mariana) are not included in this category (Kuchler, 1964).
