The trophic state is the result of the compilation of data acquired as part of this network. Trophic levels are used to classify lakes according to their degree...

This layer shows the location of the sampled stations classified according to the Eastern Canada Diatom Index (IDEC). It contains data obtained since 1935 that was converted to version 3 of the index (Lavoie et al. 2014). Benthic diatoms are microscopic unicellular algae that line the bottom of...

This theme includes data from all metal monitoring stations in the waters of rivers in Quebec and the St. Lawrence River since 2008. It includes the stations of the “Special Metals” tour, the stations of Réseau-Fleuve and Réseau-Rivières as well as the stations of the “Grand Nord” project.This...

The temporary sample plot is a circular sample unit that covers an area of 400 m2. For each tree, we observe and measure the species, diameter, sunlight, and floor in relation to other trees, as well as the defoliation and the quality of the stems of deciduous trees and certain pines. In...

#Description This database contains the coordinates of observations of fish and invertebrates, which are exotic and invasive, known by the Ministry of the Environment, the Fight against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks (MELCCFP) in Quebec (MELCCFP) in Quebec as of October 2023. An aquatic...

The forest fire map shows forest fires that occurred mainly in the territory of southern Quebec, i.e. the area located south of the territorial limit of attributable forests. This map data makes it possible to improve knowledge about fire regimes and to meet the specific needs of special...
