It is available in both table and map formats , and also includes CSV and shape files. __Tabular display__ This dataset includes three tables that show the spatial direction of the seed transfer policy based on the climate similarity analysis (refer to Appendix 1 of the policy for information on the climate similarity analysis): * Table 1. For transitional period: Acceptable seed transfer from the 2010 Seed Zones of Ontario to current seed zones * Table 2. Acceptable seed transfer from the 2010 Seed Zones of Ontario to ecodistricts * Table 3. Acceptable seed transfer among ecodistricts Within the tables, you can click and sort by your location of interest to understand the best seed sources to collect from or deploy to. You can sort by either seed zone or ecodistrict. The policy recommends a climate similarity of 0.9 or greater to the targeted collection or deployment site. __Visual display__ The climate similarity analysis used in developing this policy is also available as an interactive map. Maps are available to help you make seed collection and deployment decisions, including: * collecting seed by ecodistrict or county * deploying seed by ecodistrict * deploying seed by seed zone You can also view: * [a detailed map of management unit by seed zone or by ecodistrict](https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/larlo/viz/SeedSourceOntario/Intro) * [maps to help you make seed transfer decisions related to growing season, precipitation and temperature](https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/larlo/viz/SeedSourceOntario/Intro) 2024-08-29 Government of Ontario Economics and Industryseed transfertree seedseed collectionseed deploymentseed zoneEnvironment and Natural ResourcesGovernment information Ecodistrict (CSV)CSV https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/14aef4c1-40d4-40a1-ab72-bdc1a9c30fb5/resource/fe1ed3c1-dfbc-45e6-b5a3-d9a378b8b7da/download/mnrf-seed-transfer-policy-ed-list-data-en-2020-09-17.csv Climate data (CSV)CSV https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/14aef4c1-40d4-40a1-ab72-bdc1a9c30fb5/resource/bfdcc543-3366-40b5-b1c1-945de3316771/download/mnrf-seed-transfer-policy-climate-all-2-en-2020-09-17.csv Seed Zone and Ecodistrict data (CSV)CSV https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/14aef4c1-40d4-40a1-ab72-bdc1a9c30fb5/resource/ab6840a6-a202-4aff-9515-455d3f8faf67/download/mnrf-seed-transfer-policy-seed-zone-2-ecodistrict-en-2020-09-17.csv Seed transfer policy appendix 1 – tables for acceptable seed transferXLS https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/14aef4c1-40d4-40a1-ab72-bdc1a9c30fb5/resource/244aa07a-3e75-4797-a577-398436ab9eb2/download/mnrf-seed-transfer-policy-appendix-1-tables-for-acceptable-seed_transfer-en-2022-02-22.xlsx Seed ZonesZIP https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/14aef4c1-40d4-40a1-ab72-bdc1a9c30fb5/resource/20eae6e8-213c-4184-8a46-d424acac10aa/download/seedzone.zip EcodistrictZIP https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/14aef4c1-40d4-40a1-ab72-bdc1a9c30fb5/resource/b7c2371c-2b34-4024-a0f7-f2a343322389/download/ecodist.zip Ecodistrict and countiesZIP https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/14aef4c1-40d4-40a1-ab72-bdc1a9c30fb5/resource/8244032f-8a31-4145-bcb1-3611f51575a8/download/ecodistcounty.zip Forest Management Units, Seed Zone, EcodistrictZIP https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/14aef4c1-40d4-40a1-ab72-bdc1a9c30fb5/resource/d17212c1-dfdf-4c19-a2cf-bb6f7f8f5aea/download/muszecodist.zip
