__The link: *Access the data directory* is available in the section*Dataset Description Sheets; Additional Information*__. The original ecoforest map and the results of the 4th ecoforest inventory of southern Quebec constitute a grouping of ecoforest data including the original ecoforest map of the 4th inventory and numerous other tables providing information directly related to ecoforest populations. The information in this dataset corresponds to the forest profile up to the year of aerial photography. Among the numerous tables and classes of entities that the product brings together, the following groups can be distinguished: * The original ecoforest map of the 4th inventory made up of ecoforest polygons. This is the geographic base to which all other data are attached; * The forest compilations of the 4th inventory which contain, among other things, the gross commercial volumes evaluated by nature; * The ecological classification of Quebec territory; * The characterization data of forest stations. Note that the original ecoforest map of the 4th inventory has been complete since 2018 and that no new mapping has been added. This differs from the current original ecoforest map where, each year, a portion of Quebec's territory is photo-interpreted and integrated into the provincial product by replacing the cartographic information from the previous inventory. In addition, some areas have not been mapped since the 3rd inventory and are therefore absent from the original ecoforest map from the 4th inventory.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

__The link: *Access the data directory* is available in the section*Dataset Description Sheets; Additional Information*__. The original ecoforest map and inventory results are a collection of ecoforest data including the original ecoforest map and numerous other tables that provide information directly related to forest stands. The information in this dataset corresponds to the portrait of the forest up to the year of aerial photography. These data cover five categories of information: + The original ecoforest map made up of ecoforest polygons. This is the geographic base to which all other data are attached; + Forest compilations, which contain, among other things, the gross commercial volumes evaluated by nature; + The ecological classification of Quebec territory; + Data on the characterization of forest stations and characteristics of wood; + Data on the characterization of forest stations and characteristics of wood; + Forest biomass and carbon. This map covers almost all of the territory south of the 52nd parallel of Quebec's public and private forest. It is distributed by map sheet at a scale of 1/250,000. The minimum mapping area is 4 ha. __Notes: __ + All tables and entity classes in this data group can be linked using the “GEOCODE” field. + The geographic databases distributed in this directory do not include the information collected during the survey (sample plots). + Consult the [Updated ecoforest map] (https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/fr/dataset/carte-ecoforestiere-avec-perturbations) for an up-to-date portrait of forest territory, also available on Data Quebec. __Former names:__ Original ecoforest map and inventory results Inventory result and original ecoforest map Integrated product of the ecoforest inventory of southern Quebec (IEQM)**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
