That is exactly my point - it's a subtle difference therefore it absolutely does not belong on that map. That's like having a climate map of Canada where the entire country is classified as one generic climate called "cold" (true from a tropical point of view), and then you have a pocket of Southern Alberta labeled "Continental Semi-Arid". That's a huge no no, even though both individually are correct. You don't blatantly mix up levels of details like that when you make maps.
Eastern Canada has four general forest biomes: "Arctic", "Boreal", "Mixed", "Deciduous".
Then if you want you can take it to the next level of detail, which is also easily documented:
But combining the two, nope. Totally indefensible. That idiotic map was done by someone who wanted to make Maritimers feel special.
