This theme presents observations of invasive exotic species (IEE) transmitted and validated using the Sentinel tool, an IEE detection system. An invasive exotic species is a plant, animal, or microorganism (virus, bacteria, or fungus) that is introduced outside of its natural range. Its establishment or spread can pose a threat to the environment, economy, or society. The species listed are species of fauna and flora of concern (or potentially of concern) for Quebec's biodiversity. They include EEE present in Quebec and EEE not listed in Quebec to watch out for.**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*__. Satellite image mosaics are products designed by combining several adjacent tiles of satellite images from the Landsat or Sentinel sensor. The coverage of the mosaics varies according to the years of acquisition, ranging from southern Quebec to all of Quebec. These mosaics are designed to identify land use classes, including forest environments, agricultural environments, wetlands, and environments modified by humans. They also offer an overview of the various natural disturbances that occur on the territory. In the end, they offer easy monitoring of the evolution of forest cover and natural disturbances across territory and time. These mosaics are primarily used to support planning, monitoring, and land use planning. The resolution of the mosaics ranges from 10 to 30 meters.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
