“Automatically Extracted Buildings” is a raw digital product in vector format created by NRCan. The feature classes of this product delineate polygonal building footprints automatically extracted from airborne Lidar data, high-resolution optical imagery or other sources.The first feature class, Automatically Extracted Buildings by acquisition source, contains building footprints delivered according to the spatial extent of each source dataset used for extraction. When the spatial extents of acquisition sources overlap, footprints for the same building may therefore be duplicated in this class.The second feature class, Optimized Buildings Layer, is an assembled and harmonized layer derived from the buildings by acquisition source. Its objective is to provide a unique representation of each building footprint by removing duplicates and resolving overlaps between sources.

Predicted Soil Great Group class as defined by the The Canadian System of Soil Classification (third edition).

This feature class represents Manitoba's Forest Management Unit (FMU) boundaries.Forest Management Units (FMU's) define a forested area with common forest conditions that are managed in a similar manner. Forest Sections are comprised of FMU's. Forest inventories within Forest Management Units are analysed to determine allowable harvest limits of softwood and hardwood tree species within each Forest Management Unit. Version 3: The southern portion of FMU 67 within the Highrock Forest Section has been adjusted to align with base features captured in 2009. Additionally, an 11 hectare portion of the Saskatchewan River Forest Section (FMU 59) has been added to the Highrock Forest Section. Version 4: The northern portion of FMU 68 along the Rail Haul within the Highrock Forest Section has been adjust so that the boundary falls within water only. Additionally, version 4 splits the 'White Zone' forest section (FMU 76) by ecozones, creating FMU 76 (Taiga Shield), FMU 77 (Southern Arctic), FMU 78 (Hudson Plain) and FMU 79 (Boreal Shield). Version 4 is dated February 8, 2013. Fields Included: OBJECTID: Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated . MANAGEMENT_UNIT_NUMBER : Management Unit (MU) number . S ECTION : Forest section number . SECTION_NAME : Forest section name .

__The link: *Access the data directory* is available in the section*Dataset Description Sheets; Additional Information*__.**Slope classes** express the slope of the terrain in a relatively homogeneous area with a minimum area of 0.5 ha. They are generated from a numerical model that groups terrain slopes into six classes:+ 0-3% zero + Low by 4-8% + 9-15% soft + Moderate by 16-30% + 31-40% strong + Steep by 41% or moreThese data cover almost all of Quebec south of the 52nd parallel. This map is presented in two groups: grouping at the provincial level and grouping at the scale of 1/250,000. Each grouping represents an assembly of sheets produced on a scale of 1/20,000.The datasets were originally produced in 2005 and then updated in 2006. In 2010, they were enhanced with slope information for the northernmost part. No updates have been made since then.__For more information, please refer to the document: [Products presenting the concept of slope] (https://diffusion.mffp.gouv.qc.ca/Diffusion/DonneeGratuite/Foret/DONNEES_FOR_ECO_SUD/Classes_pente/01-Documentation/Produits_presentant_la_notion_de_pente.pdf)____ ⚠️ Notes: __ The numerical terrain model is prepared from the level curves and altitude points that come from the topographic map at a scale of 1/20,000 and 1/50,000 from the Quebec Topographic Database (BDTQ).

Generalized land classification in one of eleven types. Available here as a land class raster (GeoTIF) with a 10 m pixel resolution.Download: Here The Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment, Forest Service Branch, has developed a forest resource inventory (FRI) which meets a variety of strategic and operational planning information needs for the boreal plains. Such needs include information on the general land cover, terrain, and growing stock (height, diameter, basal area, timber volume and stem density) within the provincial forest and adjacent forest fringe. This inventory provides spatially explicit information as 10 m or 20 m raster grids and as vectors polygons for relatively homogeneous forest stands or naturally non-forested areas with a 0.5 ha minimum area and a 2.0 ha median area. Land class - generalized (LC_GEN) describes land areas in one of the eleven types. LC_GEN is available here as a color-mapped 16-bit unsigned integer raster grid in GeoTIFF format with a 10 m pixel resolution.  Domain: [1…11].

Upland Forest (FOR): Land that is currently growing, or capable of supporting, a treed upland forest community. Moisture regimes are dry through very moist. Shrubby Upland (SUL): Uplands containing a persistent cover of non-merchantable hardwood tree species and shrubs. This class does not include upland forest types expected to succeed to a treed community following disturbance. This class is distinguished from shrubby wetland on the basis of moisture regime: moisture regimes are dry through very moist. Treed Wetland (TWL): Wetlands containing ≥ 10% tree crown cover, typically greater than two metres tall in absence of recent disturbance. This class includes treed bogs, treed fens, and treed swamps. Moisture regimes are moderately wet to very wet. Shrubby Wetland (SUL): Wetlands and riparian areas containing a persistent cover of non-merchantable hardwood trees and shrubs. This class includes shrub swamps, shrubby bogs and fens. It does not include upland forest types expected to succeed to a treed community following disturbance. Open Wetland (OWL): Wetlands dominated by mosses, grasses, sedges, and small herbaceous plants, often associated with small areas of open water. This class includes marshes and open or graminoid bogs and fens. Moisture regimes are moderately wet to very wet. Treed Rock (TRK): Areas of exposed bedrock interspersed with trees, where tree crown cover ≥ 10% and < 30%. Areas of partially exposed bedrock where crown cover ≥ 30% are classified as upland forest. Areas of exposed bedrock where crown cover <10% are classified as rock or sand. Rock or Sand (RKS): Naturally occurring, barren or exposed, rock, sand, or gravel deposits with <10% of the area occupied by trees. Grass (GRS): Uplands containing a persistent cover of grass and herbs. This class is differentiated from open wetland on the basis of moisture regime. It does not include upland forest types expected to succeed to a treed community following disturbance. Agricultural Land (ALA): A land classification for lands which are cultivated for growing crops, including pasture, orchards and abandoned fields. Lands designated as provincial forests cannot be assigned this classification, however this class of land may be found within or adjacent to the mapped boundaries of provincial forests. Anthropogenic Unclassified (AUC): Areas which are non-forested due to vegetation clearing and/or building. This includes built-up areas, camps, roads, railways, mines, utility corridors, gravel pits, and similar human-caused disturbances. With the exception of permanent roads used to access timber, timber harvests are not included as anthropogenic unclassified.

High-resolution binary wetland map for Canada (2001-2016). Wetland map for the forested ecosystems of Canada focused on current conditions. It is developed within the framework of Canada’s National Terrestrial Ecosystem Monitoring System (NTEMS). The binary wetland data included in this product is national in scope (entirety of forested ecosystem) and represents the wall to wall characterization for 2001-2016 (see Wulder et al. 2018). This product was generated using both annual gap free composite reflectance images and annual forest change maps following the Virtual Land Cover Engine (VLCE) process (see Hermosilla et al. 2018), over the 650 million ha forested ecosystems of Canada. Elements of the VLCE classification approach are inclusion of disturbance information in the processes as well as ensuring class transitions over time are logical. Further, a Hidden Markov Model is implemented to assess individual year class likelihoods to reduce variability and possible noise in year-on-year class assignments (for instances when class likelihoods are similar). For this product, to be considered as currently a wetland a pixel must have been classified as wetland at least 80% or 13 of the 16 years between 2001 and 2016, inclusively. For an overview on the data, image processing, and time series change detection methods applied, see Wulder et al. (2018). Wulder, M.A., Z. Li, E. Campbell, J.C. White, G. Hobart, T. Hermosilla, and N.C. Coops (2018). A National Assessment of Wetland Status and Trends for Canada’s Forested Ecosystems Using 33 Years of Earth Observation Satellite Data. Remote Sensing. For a detailed description of the VLCE process and the subsequently generated land cover product, including an accuracy assessment, please see Hermosilla et al. (2018).
