“Jasper National Park - Total GHG Emissions” datasets consist of estimates of GHG emissions (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O)) in carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) from forested ecosystems in Jasper National Park from 1990 to 2020 (tonnes carbon dioxide equivalent per hectare). Total GHG emissions for 31 national parks were estimated using the Generic Carbon Budget Model (GCBM), a spatially explicit carbon budget model developed by Canadian Forest Service which uses forest inventory, disturbance, and mean annual temperature data along with yield data to estimate growth and merchantable volume for dominant tree species. Species- and Ecozone-specific equations are then used to convert merchantable volume to aboveground and belowground biomass carbon. The GCBM simulates carbon dynamics to produce spatially explicit estimations of carbon stocks and fluxes. The model simulates and tracks carbon stocks, transfers between Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)-defined pools, and other metrics including net ecosystem production, net biome production, and emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) in annual time steps. The stocks and fluxes are also tracked by disturbance event (e.g., forest fires). Total GHG emissions include those from natural processes like respiration and decomposition and those due to natural and anthropogenic disturbances, including wildfires, prescribed burns, and insect outbreaks. These were calculated as the sum of CO2, CH4, and N2O emission estimates in tonnes carbon (tonnes C) generated by the GCBM. Emissions estimates were then converted to carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) using the 100-year Global Warming Potential (IPCC Fourth Assessment Report) factors for CH4 (25) and N2O (298).

__IMPORTANT NOTES__: * The official description of the territory targeted by preventive measures in connection with forest fires remains the one found in the order of the Ministry of Public Security (MSP) and published on the __Québec.ca__ site. The link is provided in the _Documentation_ section located at the bottom of the page. * The data disseminated on this page is a cartographic representation of the official territory identified in the ministerial order for ease of visualization and cannot be used for other purposes. * __If no measures are in place__, no polygon will be displayed on the interactive map or will be present in the downloaded data. ------------ Preventive measures may be ordered by the Minister of Public Safety (MSP) under the Article 150.9 of the _Fire Safety Act_ (chapter S-3.4), resulting from the sanction of bill _Law 50_ (An Act to enact the _Civil Safety Act_ to promote resilience to disasters and to amend various provisions relating in particular to emergency communications centers and forest fire protection) in May 2024. These measures are implemented when a forest fire or the risk of such a fire so requires. The ultimate objective is to ensure public safety. The measures in place must be respected from the date of their implementation until they are withdrawn or amended. The two most frequently applied measures are the ban on open fires in or near the forest (IFCO) and the ban on driving and accessing the forest (ICAF). Other measures could also be issued by the minister, depending on the extent of the situation. SOPFEU also issues a notice of restriction or cessation of forest work (RTF) to its members. The following paragraphs detail each of the measures. __Prohibition of open fires in or near forests (IFCO) __ This measure aims to reduce the incidence of the ignition of man-made fires by prohibiting open fires in a given territory. An open fire is defined as any outdoor fire that burns freely or that could spread into a forest area, such as a campfire or fireplace, a pyrotechnic element, a flame, or a spark produced by an object. The following activities are allowed: * a solid fuel fireplace, stove or barbecue fire, ignited in an installation provided for this purpose and equipped with a spark arrester whose openings have a maximum dimension of 1 cm; * a stove or barbecue running on gas, ethanol or other non-solid fuel. __Prohibition of movement and access in the forest (ICAF) __ This measure aims to ensure public safety by prohibiting the population from all forest travel in a territory determined by the minister. Only persons involved in firefighting, public safety or authorized by a representative of the Minister, and only as part of an ongoing operation, can access the forest. This measure may or may not be accompanied by an evacuation order. __Restriction of forest work (RTF) __ This measure is issued by SOPFEU to its members and constitutes a recommendation to completely suspend (24 hours a day), or to restrict to certain periods of the day (12 p.m. to 8 p.m. or 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.), forest work as well as forest management activities. It is being deployed in accordance with the implementation of a ban on open fires in forests (IFCO).**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The Indigenous agreements dataset contains geographic boundaries as well as basic attribute data representing arrangements between the Government of Canada, provinces and territories, and Indigenous organizations and communities. These arrangements address Indigenous and northern affairs, such as education, economic development, child and family services, health, and housing, that have not been addressed by treaties or through other means. However, this dataset only contains the Indigenous agreements that have a geographic boundary. The Indigenous agreements dataset includes: 1) Self-government agreements which represents the Indigenous groups that govern their internal affairs and assume greater responsibility and control over the decision making that affects their communities. Self-government agreements address the structure and accountability of Indigenous governments, their law-making powers, financial arrangements and their responsibilities for providing programs and services to their members. Self-government enables Indigenous governments to work in partnership with other governments and the private sector to promote economic development and improve social conditions. These boundaries usually represent the surveyed boundaries of the Indigenous group’s Indian reserve. 2) Consultation agreements (Consultation protocol) which represents an agreement signed between the Indigenous group and one or more parties that establish a consultation process. It sets out an orderly process through which the federal and/or provincial governments can consult with an Indigenous group regarding a contemplated project or activity that may have adverse impacts on established or asserted Aboriginal or Treaty rights. These agreements include Federal Bilateral agreement, Federal Tripartite agreement and other agreements. These boundaries are usually not surveyed but help to delineate the geographic extent of the agreement. 3) Other Agreements is the catch-all category for any remaining geographies of signed agreements between the Indigenous group and other parties, that do not fit within the aforementioned categories. These boundaries are usually not surveyed but help to delineate the geographic extent of the agreement. The Indigenous agreements dataset is one of multiple datasets representing treaties and agreements between the Crown and Indigenous peoples. The Crown-Indigenous treaties and agreements geospatial datasets represent the geographic boundaries of the solemn agreements between the Crown and Indigenous peoples that set out promises, obligations and benefits for parties. The following datasets are also available: 1) The Historic treaties (formerly known as Pre-1975 treaties) dataset, which represents most signed treaties that were negotiated between Indigenous peoples and the Crown between 1725 and 1929. 2) The Modern treaties (formerly known as the Post-1975 treaties) dataset, which represents the areas of Canada where Indigenous land rights and title have not been addressed by preceding treaties or through other legal means. The Indigenous agreements dataset is Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC) and Indigenous Services Canada (ISC)’s primary source for Indigenous agreements geographic boundaries on maps. This dataset can also be viewed in the Aboriginal and Treaty Rights Information System (ATRIS). This web-based system provides access to information to inform governments, industry and other interested parties in determining their consultation obligations and in carrying out their consultation research.

Description: Seasonal mean total phytoplankton at the surface from the British Columbia continental margin model (BCCM) were averaged over the 1981 to 2010 period to create seasonal mean surface climatology of the Canadian Pacific Exclusive Economic Zone. Methods: Total phytoplankton is the sum of diatoms and flagellates concentration. Spring months were defined as April to June, summer months were defined as July to September, fall months were defined as October to December, and winter months were defined as January to March. The data available here contain a raster layer of seasonal surface phytoplankton climatology for the Canadian Pacific Exclusive Economic Zone at 3 km spatial resolution. Uncertainties: Model results have been extensively evaluated against observations (e.g. altimetry, CTD and nutrient profiles, observed geostrophic currents), which showed the model can reproduce with reasonable accuracy the main oceanographic features of the region including salient features of the seasonal cycle and the vertical and cross-shore gradient of water properties. However, the model resolution is too coarse to allow for an adequate representation of inlets, nearshore areas, and the Strait of Georgia.
