Ecoprovinces_LWBIN <p>Ecoprovinces are a subdivision of an ecozone characterized by major assemblages of structural or surface forms, faunal realms and vegetation, hydrology, soil, and macro climate. For example, the Newfoundland ecoprovince (no. 6.4) is one of six ecoprovinces within the Boreal Shield Ecozone. The National Ecological Framework provides a consistent, national spatial context within which ecosystems at various levels of generalization can be described, monitored, and reported on. The use of such a framework of standard ecological units provides for common communication and reporting between different jurisdictions and disciplines, and provides a common ground to report on the state of the environment and the sustainability of ecosystems in Canada.</p> Ecological Framework Ecoprovinces Hydrology Macro Climate Soil Vegetation EPSG:4326 -117.41978415999995 -89.86504992399995 48.040600718000064 55.52861084500006 text/xml
