The National Ecological Framework for Canada's "Total Land and Water Area by Ecoprovince” dataset provides land and water area values for ecoprovince framework polygons, in hectares. It includes attributes for a polygon’s total area, land-only area and large water body area.

The National Ecological Framework for Canada's "Total Land and Water Area by Ecozone” dataset provides land and water area values for ecozone framework polygons, in hectares. It includes attributes for a polygon’s total area, land-only area and large water body area.

The National Ecological Framework for Canada's "Total Land and Water Area by Ecoregion” dataset provides land and water area values for ecoregion framework polygons, in hectares. It includes attributes for a polygon’s total area, land-only area and large water body area.

The National Ecological Framework for Canada's "Total Land and Water Area by Ecodistrict” dataset provides land and water area values for ecodistrict framework polygons, in hectares. It includes attributes for a polygon’s total area, land-only area and large water body area.

The National Ecological Framework for Canada's "Land and Water Area by Province/Territory and Ecozone” dataset provides land and water area values by province or territory for the Ecozone framework polygon, in hectares. It includes codes and their English and French descriptions for a polygon’s province or territory, total area, land-only area and large water body area.

The Quebec Ecological Reference Framework (CERQ) is a tool for mapping and ecological classification of Quebec territory. It apprehends the territory from the general to the particular, in a hierarchical system of interlocking levels of perception. This layer of information was produced as part of the ecological knowledge project of the Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment and the Fight against Climate Change (MDDELCC). **This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

__The link: *Access the data directory* is available in the section*Dataset Description Sheets; Additional Information*__.The layer of **ecological planning units (UPE) ** constitutes the territorial base at the base of the ecoforest inventory process in southern Quebec (IEQM). It was created and then integrated as part of the current inventory (fifth IEQM). It integrates concepts that are both administrative (forest region) and ecological (ecological region). More precisely, the division is done on an ecological basis within each of the forest regions. It is on this basis that the activities of the IEQM are planned.Each of the layers included in the IEQM monitoring datasets reports on what has been achieved as part of the current inventory. We are talking here about aerial photography, mapping, terrestrial sampling of temporary sample plots, and compilation activities. Each year, new territories are added to each layer to reflect the progress of the work.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Ecological framework maps for the Yukon resulting from the national report "A National Ecological Framework for Canada". Each area can be viewed as a discrete system which has resulted from the mesh and interplay of the geologic, landform, soil, vegetative, climatic, wildlife, water, and human factors which may be present. The National Ecological Framework for Canada is part of the CGDI National Resolution Framework Data. It has been aligned to the National Frameworks, Canada - 1:M scale Hydrology.Distributed from [GeoYukon](https://yukon.ca/geoyukon) by the [Government of Yukon](https://yukon.ca/maps) .

The “Terrestrial Ecozones of Canada” dataset provides representations of ecozones. An ecozone is the top level of the four levels of ecosystems that the National Ecological Framework for Canada defines. The framework divides Canada into 15 terrestrial ecozones that define its ecological mosaic on a sub-continental scale. Ecozones represent an area of the earth’s surface as large and very generalized ecological units. These units are characterized by interactive and adjusting abiotic and biotic factors.
