The theme on physicochemical monitoring of rivers and rivers presents data from all stations in networks monitoring water quality in rivers in Quebec and the St. Lawrence River.The purpose of networks for monitoring general water quality is to characterize, using current physicochemical and bacteriological parameters, the quality of water in spatial terms and to monitor the evolution of this quality over time. For the regular monitoring of the general quality of river and river water, the parameters measured are: total phosphorus, total nitrogen, nitrites and nitrates, ammonia nitrogen, chlorophyll a, pheopigments, faecal coliforms, faecal coliforms, turbidity, suspended matter, pH, conductivity, dissolved organic carbon and temperature. This data is used to calculate the Bacteriological and Physicochemical Water Quality Index (IQBP), a water quality classification index.The data set on physicochemical monitoring of rivers and rivers also includes the drainage areas of some of the stations. The attribute table provides a compilation of land use by category for the last year available at the time the data was generated. Follow-up is carried out annually.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The objective of benthos monitoring is to know the state of benthic macroinvertebrate communities in rivers according, in particular, to the composition of the substrate and the type of flow. Information on benthic macroinvertebrate samples collected at benthos monitoring stations is classified according to the benthos health index: iSBG for coarse-substrate streams and iSBM for soft-substrate streams. The Benthos Health Index (ISB) is a multimetric index based on benthic macroinvertebrates that assesses the biotic integrity of shallow streams. The benthos monitoring dataset includes a layer of sampling stations sampled between 2003 and 2023 and a layer of drainage areas for each of the types of substrate, either coarse or loose. The drainage area attribute table also provides a compilation of land use by category for the last year available at the time of data production, i.e. the year 2020.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Aquatic invasive species pose economic and ecological threats to Canada's coastal waters. In response, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has established monitoring programs to detect and track the spread of aquatic invasive species, including European Green Crab, in Canadian waters. Fukui traps have been deployed annually at both new and long-term monitoring locations throughout coastal British Columbia.

Layer that includes the known information on coastal presence for lumpfish in the St. Lawrence River and Estuary according to a literature review of documents produced between 1987 and 1999.Additional InformationLumpfish's coastal presence was produced according to a literature review of the following documents:Association Québécoise des Techniciens(nes) en Aménagement Cynégétique et Halieutique (AQTACH). 1987.

Standards Units for an opening represents desired soil conservation limits and stocking outcomes for the defined net area to be reforested. An opening may have one or more standard units. Standards Units may not overlap. Older records may not have standard unit maps available. Stocking standards represent legal silviculture obligations for harvested areas for the defined standard units. This is part of the Silviculture and Land status Tracking dataset, which includes tracking achievement of silviculture obligations on Crown Land

An opening's disturbance and silviculture activities reported into RESULTS. Most activities are within opening boundaries with the exception of broadcast treatments. An opening may have more than one activities associated with it. Activities may also overlap each other. Reporting of disturbance and silviculture attribute information is a mandatory requirement while the map is optional. This is part of the Silviculture and Land status Tracking dataset, which includes tracking harvesting and silviculture obligations on Crown Land

RESULTS opening's forest cover poylgons with silviculture component provided. Current forest cover subimssion into RESULTS must contain attribute and map information. However, there are historical forest cover polygon infomration where maps are not available. Forest Cover is provided at three critical milestones of at harvesting, at regeneration, and at free growing. This is a part o fthe Silviculture and Land Status Tracking dataset, which includes tracking achievement of silviculture obligations on Crown Land

This dataset includes daily averages of solar irradiance on tilted surfaces for all of Canada based on the period of 1998 - 2022.Daily averages of solar irradiance are displayed on both a monthly and annual basis for ten different tilt and tracking methods relative to the ground (horizontal) and latitude of the location. The daily averages were derived from multi-year satellite-derived solar resource datasets at an hourly temporal resolution and gridded geospatial resolution of approximately 10 km by 10 km.The data can be used to further assess the potential of solar energy technologies in Canada, including solar photovoltaics (PV) for electricity and solar thermal for domestic hot water and space heating. Maps of solar resource potential in Canada – Data Format The data stored in these files includes the daily-average insolation on tilted surfaces in units of kW·hr/m² for a given period. Each band represents period, numbered in order: band 1 = Annual, band 2 = January, band 3 = February, ..., band 13 = December.The period of averaging is the year 1998-2022, inclusive.Four fixed tilted surfaces of 0° (horizontal), 30°, 60°, and 90° (vertical) relative to the horizontal plane:- fixed tilted surfaces of 0° (vertical) relative to the horizontal plane (H+ 00 S+00)- fixed tilted surfaces of 30° (vertical) relative to the horizontal plane (H+ 30 S+00)- fixed tilted surfaces of 60° (vertical) relative to the horizontal plane (H+ 60 S+00)- fixed tilted surfaces of 90° (vertical) relative to the horizontal plan (H+ 90 S+00)Three fixed tilted surfaces of 0°, +15°, and -15°, relative to the local latitude:- fixed tilted surfaces of 0° relative to the local latitude (L+00 S+00)- fixed tilted surfaces of +15°, relative to the local latitude (L+00 S+00)- fixed tilted surfaces of -15°, relative to the local latitude (L+00 S+00)- A two-axis tracking surface that follows the sun throughout the day (T+00 T+00)- A single-axis tracking surface with the axis aligned north-south, tracking the sun east to west (A+00_S+90)- A single-axis tracking surface with the axis aligned east-west, tracking the sun's elevation (A+00_S+00)

The Riparian Quality Index (IQBR) is used to assess the ecological condition of the shoreline environment. It is built from nine components that have been weighted according to their potential to perform ecological functions in terms of the protection of aquatic ecosystems.Data on shoreline quality come from benthos monitoring stations sampled between 2003 and 2023.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
