Cartography of the vegetation cover of Quebec City. The canopy represents the projection on the ground of the tops (crown) of trees (including leaves, branches, and trunks), which is visible from the sky. The data comes from an automated classification of two satellite images covering Quebec City by the pair of World-View-3 and Pléiades satellites acquired in July 2020 (spatial resolution of 31 cm) and from the 2017 Lidar survey of Quebec City.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

This application outlines suitable areas for finding and harvesting Christmas trees in and around the City of Whitehorse.

This feature displays annotation codes for easy display of vegetation inventory polygons. Used in conjunction with the data set for Vegetation Inventory Poly 40K, this dataset shows labels describing the contents of each forest inventory polygon. The annotation is at a fixed scale, and is designed to be optimally displayed at a 1:50:000 scale.

This feature delineates enhanced vegetation, forest and cover attributes for the Whitehorse, Yukon area at a scale of 1:10,000. The field work for the inventory was carried out during the winter of 2004/2005 with the project delivered by the contractor in October 2005. Delineation was based on 1:10,000 black and white photography acquired by the City of Whitehorse in 2001. New mapping and DTM were available for this project based on that photography. Vegetation inventory polygons contain a variety of detailed information on, for example, the age and type of trees growing on the land base in the vicinity of Whitehorse.

This feature delineates forest and vegetation stands in the Yukon at a scale of 1:5,000. It is an operational level forest inventory (as opposed to a management level). This inventory has been completed in various stages, between 2013 and 2014, and delineation via softcopy from stereo images acquired in the years 2007 and 2012. The aerial images used for the Haines Junction region (Champagne and Aishihik Traditional Territory) had a ground sample distance (GSD) of 40 cm and were collected in both color and infrared. The aerial imagery in the southcentral Yukon were 1:40,000 black and white hard copy images, scanned at 60 microns or approximately 1m GSD. Distributed from GeoYukon by the Government of Yukon .

Riparian zones represent transitional areas occurring between land and freshwater ecosystems, characterised by distinctive hydrology, soil and biotic conditions and strongly influenced by the stream water. They provide a wide range of riparian functions (e.g. chemical filtration, flood control, bank stabilization, aquatic life and riparian wildlife support, etc.) and ecosystem services. The Riparian Zones products support the objectives of several European legal acts and policy initiatives, such as the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020, the Habitats and Birds Directives and the Water Framework Directive. This metadata refers to the Riparian Zones 2012 Land Cover/Land Use (LC/LU), which LC/LU classification is tailored to the needs of biodiversity monitoring in a variable buffer zone of selected rivers (Strahler levels 2-9 derived from EU-Hydro) for the reference year 2012. LC/LU is extracted from Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite data and other available data in a buffer zone of selected rivers for supporting biodiversity monitoring and mapping and assessment of ecosystems and their services. The class definitions follow the pre-defined nomenclature on the basis of Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their Services (MAES) typology of ecosystems (Level 1 to Level 4) and CORINE Land Cover. The classification provides 55 distinct thematic classes with a Minimum Mapping Unit (MMU) of 0.5 ha and a Minimum Mapping Width (MMW) of 10 m. The nomenclature has been revised in 2020 with the aim to harmonize the products of the local components (mainly Riparian Zones and NATURA 2000 products) while maintaining user requirements for both products. A revised version of the Riparian Zones 2012 has been subsequently released in December 2021, together with the reference year 2018. The production of the Riparian Zones products was coordinated by the European Environment Agency in the frame of the EU Copernicus programme.

These are the boundaries of disturbance area that underwent forest management activities and are monitored to determine if reforestation obligations were achieved. Openings were derived from forest cover surveys, GPS field data collections, and satellite imagery. This database is the most current information available, but will be updated as new information is added. HARVEST_START - This is the date that harvesting started in the opening. REGEN_MET - This is the date that regeneration was determined to be present in the opening. FG_MET - This is the date that a free growing status was determined to be present in the opening. RELIEVED_OF_OBLIGATION - This is the date that the opening was determined to be returning to a forested area, was relieved of any further Silviculture obligations to reforest, and returned to the forest inventory.
