In 2020, the Forest Inventory Directorate of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests (MRNF) began the production of vector layers of riparian ecotones. This type of layer is produced using a series of geomatic tools that use the canopy height model (MHC) and the topographic humidity index (TWI) produced from aerial LiDAR, as well as data from the ecoforest map of southern Quebec. The development of the tools and their configuration were carried out in collaboration with the forest hydrology laboratory at Laval University.

The layer thus produced aims to delimit riparian ecotones, which are defined as [_ “a transition zone between the aquatic environment and the forest, characterized by muscinal, herbaceous or shrubby vegetation in wetlands and sometimes including a few scattered trees” _] (https://mffp.gouv.qc.ca/RADF/guide/chapitre-i/article-1/).

The layer produced defines the area where a significant change in tree heights is observed on the MHC LiDAR. However, if deforestation, agricultural fields, or natural disturbances are adjacent to a body of water, no change in tree heights is observed. In these cases, the tool instead uses potential water accumulation data from the Topographic Humidity Index (TWI), as well as data from the ecoforest map, to delineate riparian ecotones. On the other hand, the tool does not make it possible to filter all of these exceptional cases and we thus find a few “false coastal ecotones” in the layer. For example, deforested land along a body of water can sometimes be included in the ecotone layer. 

Before using these data, it is therefore recommended to plan validation work by photo-interpretation or by means of field visits. It should also be noted that ecotone data is primarily used to support forest mandates such as the delineation of buffer zones along watercourses. Therefore, they are not contours of wetlands within the meaning of the Act respecting the conservation of wetlands and bodies of water.

La Direction des inventaires forestiers du ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts (MRNF) a commencé, en 2020, la production de couches vectorielles d’écotones riverains. Ce type de couche est produit à partir d’une série d’outils géomatiques qui utilisent le modèle de hauteur de canopée (MHC) et l’indice d’humidité topographique (TWI) produits à partir du LiDAR aérien, ainsi que des données provenant de la carte écoforestière du Québec méridional. L’élaboration des outils et leur paramétrage ont été réalisés en collaboration avec le laboratoire d’hydrologie forestière de l’Université Laval.

La couche ainsi produite vise à délimiter les écotones riverains qui se définissent comme [_« une zone de transition entre le milieu aquatique et la forêt, caractérisée par la végétation muscinale, herbacée ou arbustive des milieux humides et comportant parfois quelques arbres épars »_](https://mffp.gouv.qc.ca/RADF/guide/chapitre-i/article-1/).

La couche produite délimite la zone où un changement de hauteurs d’arbres important est observé sur le MHC LiDAR. Toutefois, dans le cas où un déboisement, un champ agricole ou une perturbation naturelle sont adjacents à un plan d’eau, aucun changement de hauteurs d’arbres n’est observé. Dans ces cas, l’outil utilise plutôt les données d’accumulation d’eau potentielle de l’indice d’humidité topographique (TWI), ainsi que des données provenant de la carte écoforestière, pour délimiter les écotones riverains. Par contre, l’outil ne permet pas de filtrer l’ensemble de ces cas d’exception et on trouve ainsi dans la couche quelques « faux écotones riverains ». Par exemple, des terrains déboisés le long d’un plan d’eau peuvent parfois être inclus dans la couche d’écotones. 

Avant d’utiliser ces données, il est donc recommandé de prévoir des travaux de validation par photo-interprétation ou au moyen de visites sur le terrain. Il faut également noter que les données d’écotones servent d’abord à appuyer des mandats forestiers comme la délimitation des zones tampons le long des cours d’eau. Il ne s’agit donc pas de contours de milieux humides au sens de la Loi concernant la conservation des milieux humides et hydriques.</gmd:LocalisedCharacterString>
