Abstract

This layer was converted to a shapefile from a Esri File Geodatabase from Open Canada Portal, https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/3ef8e8a9-8d05-4fea-a8bf-7f5023d2b6e1

The “National Ecological Framework for Canada – Terrestrial Ecodistricts” dataset provides representations of ecodistricts.

An ecodistrict is a subdivision of an ecoregion and is characterized by distinctive assemblages of relief, landforms, geology, soil, vegetation, water bodies and fauna. For example, the Jeddore Lake ecodistrict (no. 473) is one of five ecodistricts within the Maritime Barrens ecoregion.
