Contains 2 datasets: * lower and single tier municipalities * upper tier municipalities and districts.
-
The flood magnitude statistics can be used for applications such as flood plain delineation and design of hydraulic structures. The drought severity statistics can be used for applications such as water abstraction and effluent dilution.

The spatial representation for current Timber Supply Blocks (TSB). A Timber Supply Area is a designated area established by the Ministry in order to practice sound, integrated, resource management principles to improve the allowable annual cuts. TSAs were originally defined by an established pattern of wood flow from management units to the primary timber-using industries. They are the primary unit for allowable annual cut (AAC) determination. A TSA Supply Block is a designated area within the TSA where the Ministry approves the allowable annual cuts

Surface Type describes the type of surface material used on road

The spatial representation for an Inventory Region or Compartment. Established by the Resource Inventory Branch, Inventory Regions are large drainages encompassing groups of small drainages also known as compartments. These were once used for planning purposes, similar to the current Planning Cells. They are now maintained in the files as reference for many administration boundaries

Landsat-derived forest age for Canada 2022 Satellite-based forest age map for 2022 across Canada's forested ecozones at a 30-m spatial resolution. Remotely sensed data from Landsat (disturbances, surface reflectance composites, forest structure) and MODIS (Gross Primary Production) are utilized to determine age. Age can be determined where disturbance can be identified directly (disturbance approach) or inferred using spectral information (recovery approach) or using inverted allometric equations to model age where there is no evidence of disturbance (allometric approach). The disturbance approach is based upon satellite data and mapped changes and is the most accurate. The recovery approach also avails upon satellite data plus logic regarding forest succession, with an accuracy that is greater than pure modeling. Given the lack of widespread recent disturbance over Canada's forests, the allometric approach is required over the greatest area (86.6%). Using information regarding realized heights and growth and yield modeling, ages are estimated where none are otherwise possible. Trees of all ages are mapped, with trees >150 years old combined in an - old tree - category. This product was developed within the framework of Canada’s National Terrestrial Ecosystem Monitoring System (NTEMS). See Maltman et al. (2023) for an overview of the methods, data, image processing, as well as information on agreement assessment using Canada's National Inventory (NFI).
