__The link: * Access the data repository* is available in the*Dataset Details; Additional Information*__ section. Ecoforest maps in PDF format are available at a scale of 1:20,000 and cover Quebec territory approximately up to the 52nd parallel. Each map covers an average area of about 250 km2 and presents forest information for the territory concerned. Its accuracy is approximately 10 meters. These maps are an image of the current ecoforest map for the corresponding year. __2021, 2022 and 2023 maps__ The 2021, 2022, and 2023 maps are produced from the updated ecoforest map of the corresponding year. It represents the result of the photo-interpretation of aerial photographs taken during the 4th and 5th ecoforestry inventories of southern Quebec to which were added natural disturbances (fires, epidemics, windfalls, etc.) and forest interventions (harvesting and reforestation) carried out in public forests following the year in which the picture was taken. According to the maps, data following the forest population inventory approach (AIPF) are included when available for a complete sheet. Main components: vegetation type (forest species group, density class, height class, age class, etc.) or AIPF vegetation type (detailed forest species, density (%), height (m), age class, etc.); slope class; nature of the terrain (peatlands, gravel, etc.); hydrography (lakes, rivers, streams, swamps, etc.); transport network and bridges; topography (level curves); fragmentation. __2019 and 2020 maps__ The 2019 maps, as well as those of 2020, are produced from up-to-date ecoforest maps of the corresponding year. They represent the result of the photo-interpretation of aerial photographs taken during the 4th and 5th ecoforestry inventories of southern Quebec to which were added natural disturbances (fires, epidemics, windfalls, etc.) and forest interventions (harvesting and reforestation) carried out in the public forest following the year in which the photo-interpretation of the aerial photographs of the 4th and 5th southern Quebec ecoforestry inventories were taken. An update is then carried out taking into account natural disturbances (fires, epidemics, windfalls, etc.) and forest interventions (harvesting and reforestation) carried out in public forests. The information presented corresponds to the updated ecoforest map of 2019 or 2020, as appropriate. On each map, the names of the stands are expressed by the group of species. Main components: type of vegetation (forest species, density, height, age class, etc.); slope class; nature of the terrain (peatlands, gravel, etc.); hydrography (lakes, rivers, streams, swamps, etc.); transport network and bridges; topography (level curves); fragmentation. __2015 maps__ The 2015 maps are produced from the photo-interpretation of aerial photographs from the 3rd and 4th ecoforest inventory of southern Quebec. An update is then carried out taking into account natural disturbances (fires, epidemics, windfalls, etc.) and forest interventions (cutting and planting) carried out in public forests. The information presented corresponds to the updated 2015 ecoforest map.
