BIOTA.Ecozones
Type SDE Feature Class
Summary
This spatial framework was built on consultation, collaboration and compromise. As such, not all boundaries of the framework will be to the full satisfaction of all Canadian ecologists. It is presented for use to a wide range of users. National classifications evolve as knowledge is gained and ecological perspectives change. Following use and feedback, it is intended that in the future this framework will again be revised to better retlect our understanding of the Canadian landscape and the sustainability of natural resources.
