Original ecoforest map and results of the fourth inventory

The link: Access the data directory is available in the sectionDataset Description Sheets; Additional Information.

The original ecoforest map and the results of the 4th ecoforest inventory of southern Quebec constitute a grouping of ecoforest data including the original ecoforest map of the 4th inventory and numerous other tables providing information directly related to ecoforest populations. The information in this dataset corresponds to the forest profile up to the year of aerial photography.

Among the numerous tables and entity classes that the product brings together, the following groups can be distinguished:

• The original ecoforest map of the 4th inventory made up of ecoforest polygons. This is the geographic base to which all other data is attached;

• The forest compilations of the 4th inventory, which contain, among other things, the gross commercial volumes evaluated by essence;

• The ecological classification of Quebec territory;

• Data for the characterization of forest stations.

Note that the original ecoforest map of the 4th inventory has been complete since 2018 and that no new mapping has been added. This differs from the current original ecoforest map where, each year, a portion of Quebec's territory is photo-interpreted and integrated into the provincial product by replacing the cartographic information from the previous inventory. In addition, some areas have not been mapped since the 3rd inventory and are therefore absent from the original ecoforest map from the 4th inventory.This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).
