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 Ecoregions” dataset provides representations of ecoregions.

An ecoregion is a subdivision of an ecoprovince and is characterized by distinctive regional ecological factors, including climate, physiography, vegetation, soil, water, and fauna. For example, the Maritime Barrens ecoregion (no. 114) is one of nine ecoregions within the Newfoundland ecoprovince.
