The Mount Nemo Escarpment Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI) is one of the significant life science natural areas identified in 1976 in the Niagara Escarpment Plan Area. This report is one of a series of geological and ecological inventories of significant natural areas along the escarpment. In the 1991-93 field seasons, a detailed biological inventory and evaluation of the ANSI was carried out involving 13 person days of field work. The report describes the physical background and the regional context of the vegetation, flora, and fauna of the area; the vegetation, flora and floristics, and fauna of the ANSI; and planning considerations, including evaluation of the ANSI, significant features, and recommendations. Appendices contain lists of vascular plants, mosses and liverworts, birds, mammals, and amphibians and reptiles, as well as a description of the methodology and the Niagara Escarpment vegetation community classification system.
