This data was produced under contract for Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Forest Management Branch in 2015-2016. Variables used were elevation, aspect, slope, landscape mesotopography (e.g. ridge, upper slope, etc). Where there was LiDAR coverage, resolution was 1m2 pixels.

The Torngat National Park monitors the growth and extent of dwarf birch along elevational transects at 5 locations to understand how shrubs are changing the tundra vegetation in the park and sub-arctic regions. Each transect contains 3 or 4 plots, at lower slope, mid slope, and upper slope. Cover, height, growth increment and browsing of Dwarf Birch, and also soil temperature, are recorded at each plot.

The High Resolution Digital Elevation Model (HRDEM) product is derived from airborne LiDAR data (mainly in the south) and satellite images in the north. The complete coverage of the Canadian territory is gradually being established. It includes a Digital Terrain Model (DTM), a Digital Surface Model (DSM) and other derived data. For DTM datasets, derived data available are slope, aspect, shaded relief, color relief and color shaded relief maps and for DSM datasets, derived data available are shaded relief, color relief and color shaded relief maps.

The “Thematic Soil Maps of Manitoba” is a revised and condensed version of the Manitoba Detailed Soils Database produced by CANSIS.

It contains data relating to the soils slope, drainage, agricultural capability, erosion potential, and surface texture.

The “Thematic Soil Maps of Saskatchewan” is a revised and condensed version of the Saskatchewan Detailed Soils Database produced by CANSIS.

It contains data relating to the soils slope, drainage, agricultural capability, erosion potential, and surface texture.

This dataset is associated with the article authored by Marine Pacé, Benjamin Gadet, Julien Beguin, Yves Bergeron et David Paré entitled " Drivers of boreal tree growth and stand opening in boreal forest: the case of jack pine on sandy soils ". It comprises 37 plots including 20 plots near the locality of La Sarre (48° 48’ N; 79° 12’ W) and 17 plots near the locality of Chibougamau (49° 53’ N; 74° 20’ W). It includes data on forest stands (DBH, height, age), permanent environmental conditions (surface deposits, slope, granulometry and chemical characteristics of the C horizon), and non permanent environmental characteristics (disturbance history, understory vegetation, depth of the organic layer, soil water content chemical characteristics of the eluted and accumulation horizons). It also contains data on tree growth (dendrochronological stem analysis) and isotopic composition of the cellulose (13C).
