Climatic change & species distributions in our region are well  
addressed in the recent volume:

D.F. McAlpine and I.M. Smith, editors. 2010. Assessment of Species  
Diversity in the Atlantic Maritime Ecozone. NRC Research Press,  
Ottawa, Ontario.
  ISBN-13: 9780660198354

Obtainable for 65.95$ at

http://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/book/10.1139/9780660198354

Unfort. this very important treatise is not freely available in  
electronic form. Even a Table of Contents is hard to find so I put one  
on the NS Wild Flora website:

http://nswildflora.ca/lit/docs/SpeciesContents.htm

Likely many of the individual articles could be obtained as PDFs from authors.

But the book is well worth the $ in my opinion.






Quoting John Kearney <john.kearney@ns.sympatico.ca>:
