This paper aims to discuss some of the known factors involved in map sap flow and maple syrup production in relation to Eastern Canada, specifically Nova Scotia. These factors include soil nutrients, the climate of the region, the weather in a particular year, tree species, the physiology of the individual tree itself, the surrounding ecosystem, the landscape, and the location. There are many factors which affect and are suspected to affect the flow of sap through the maple tree and, thus, the resulting syrup. There are approximately 187 Maple farms in Nova Scotia producing sap from around 446,300 taps. Maple syrup production in Nova Scotia has increased from around 32,000 liters in the 1950s to the current 220,000 liters, which is down from a high of 228,000 liters in 2017. Nova Scotia produced around 55,000 gallons of syrup in 2018 accounting for less than 1% of Canada’s maple production. In contrast, USA produced approximately 17 million liters in 2017 with Vermont, New York, Maine, Wisconsin, and New Hampshire as the main contributors. Provinces of Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and British Columbia are Canada’s main maple producing provinces with Quebec being responsible for roughly 91% of the country’s production. Canada is the world’s leading supplier of maple syrup and maple products annual production volumes of approximately 40 million liters contribute approximately 80% of the world’s pure maple syrup. Sugar maple trees contributed $384.4 million to the Canadian economy in 2018 through the production of maple syrup and other maple products, making it a profitable bioresource.
