Agricultural relief from LiDAR
High-resolution relief data produced from LiDAR surveys and limited to crop plots are particularly useful in the agricultural sector since they make it possible to model surface drainage in order to identify drainage problems or the risks of soil erosion. Agronomic interpretation will take advantage of this information not only in the form of the numerical terrain model and the shading, but also with the level curves, flow paths and basins located inside the cultivated plots, as delimited by the database of declared agricultural plots and productions (BDPPAD) of the Financière Agricole du Québec (FADQ). Level curves of 1 m covering the entire treated territory excluding cultivated plots (agricultural, forest, urban, etc.) are also available. These new data are the result of a collaboration between the MRNF and the MAPAQ, and they are offered thanks to the open valorization of data initially derived from LiDAR to the MRNF Forest Inventory Directorate (DIF). We hope that this data will support better soil and water management interventions, in order to mitigate the consequences of climate change, and to promote sustainable agriculture.This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).
