Digital atlas of predicted species distributions, vegetation assemblages and habitat characteristics for the eco-district 6e10 and GPE — St. Lawrence Islands National Park, Version 1.0
The digital atlas contains distribution information of dominant forest plants, species assemblages (vegetation types), and some habitat and structural characteristics for the eco-district 6e10 and Greater Park Ecosystem (GPE) — St. Lawrence Islands National Park. We used statistical modeling and prediction to make the distributional information for the entire study area. We extrapolated information from geo-referenced vegetation data collected during summers from 2005 to 2007 with other spatial layers, such as digital elevation and remote sensing derivatives. The maps are in raster (grid) format at a 10m resolution. You can navigate them by following the documents and readme files in the individual folders or in the main document folder called ‘6e10_documents’. In southern Ontario, there is a lack of current ‘wall-to wall’, fine-scale, vegetation class and species vegetation mapping to support diverse applications and initiatives related to natural resource management, conservation and landscape and land-use planning. These maps could serve as baseline information for: * natural heritage design and planning * Species at Risk (SAR) recovery planning * state of biodiversity reporting * forest management and planning * invasive species management * ecological goods and services estimates * wildlife habitat modeling and mapping * additional applications and research techniques * requiring mapped vegetation information __How to reference this dataset__ This product should be referenced as: Puric-Mladenovic, Danijela, Julia Buck; David Bradley, Robert Arends, Silvia Strobl, and Nayna Khalatkar (2008). _Digital atlas of predicted species distributions, vegetation assemblages and habitat characteristics for the eco-district 6e10 and GPE — St. Lawrence Islands National Park’_, version 1.0.. Information Management and Spatial Analysis Unit, Southern Science and Information Section, OMNR, Peterborough, Ontario. __Additional time period information__ Field sampling was collected during the summer months from 2005 to 2007. The following activities took place during 2008: * spectral and environmental data assembly * predictive modelling and mapping Alternate title: Plant atlas for St. Lawrence Islands National Park
