Floristic habitats

Floristic habitats A floristic habitat is a protected area that contains at least one floristic species designated as threatened or vulnerable and that is identified in section 7 of the Regulation Respecting Threatened or Vulnerable Floristic Species and Their Habitats. To date, 52 floristic habitats have been created. They are mainly located on land under the domain of the State and a few are on private land. As stated in section 17 of the Act Respecting Threatened or Vulnerable Species, any activities likely to modify the biophysical characteristics specific to these habitats are prohibited. Following the 13 September 2013 update of the Register of Protected Areas, plant habitats encumbered in whole or in part by mineral, gas or oil rights were removed from the Register in order to comply with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) criteria for protected areas. As a result, only 31 floristic habitats remain on the Register and can be consulted in the protected areas layer. To visualize all floristic habitats, including the 21 habitats that are not included in the Register of Protected Areas, you must consult the Floristic Habitats layer.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).** 2024-04-04 Government and Municipalities of Québec benoit.tremblay@environnement.gouv.qc.ca Form DescriptorsNature and EnvironmentScience and Technology Floristic habitats in FGDB formatFGDB/GDB https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/dataset/75eecd68-eb35-42ff-9ca0-ca518845cc9f/resource/b9c17e17-6ad0-4ddb-b09c-43aa9ae88a1d/download/habitats_floristiques_fgdb.zip Floristic habitats in GPKG formatGPKG https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/dataset/75eecd68-eb35-42ff-9ca0-ca518845cc9f/resource/365cf559-b180-415a-a791-814373fcfd7c/download/habitats_floristiques_gpkg.zip Original metadata (https://www.donneesquebec.ca)HTML https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/fr/dataset/75eecd68-eb35-42ff-9ca0-ca518845cc9f MetadataPDF https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/dataset/75eecd68-eb35-42ff-9ca0-ca518845cc9f/resource/da3601a1-db9b-4871-a072-374e3f5d7dfb/download/habitats_floristiques.pdf Floristic habitats in SHP formatSHP https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/dataset/75eecd68-eb35-42ff-9ca0-ca518845cc9f/resource/15d97911-9f08-4b56-8d99-efa3e0580382/download/habitats_floristiques.zip
