Forest biomass and carbon in southern Quebec

Forest biomass and carbon in southern Quebec __The link: *Access the data directory* is available in the section*Dataset Description Sheets; Additional Information*__. The Directorate of Forest Inventories (DIF) carries out assessments of tree biomass and their carbon content at the scale of ecoforest stands to deepen knowledge on the contribution of forests in the global carbon cycle. This information can be useful in the context of climate change to document the mitigating role played by forests. The resulting product, a database containing a single table entitled “BIOMASSE_CARBONE_PEE_ORI_PROV”, shows the biomass and carbon values of living trees above ground for all productive ecoforest stands 7 m or more in height. The exploitation of the database requires the data from [the original ecoforest map] (https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/dataset/resultats-d-inventaire-et-carte-ecoforestiere) and the establishment of a connection with the information of the polygonal entity class of settlements. The database includes biomass variables converted to carbon stocks, detailing the biomass of wood, bark, branches, and foliage. For a thorough understanding, you can consult the Read Me associated with this product and the publication [“Biomass and carbon forests in southern Quebec - Method and use”] (https://mffp.gouv.qc.ca/nos-publications/biomasse-carbone-forestiers-quebec-meridional/) (MRNF, 2023) which offers additional methodological information.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).** 2024-10-08 Government and Municipalities of Québec renseignements@mrnf.gouv.qc.ca Form DescriptorsNature and EnvironmentScience and Technology Forest biomass and carbon in southern QuebecFGDB/GDB https://diffusion.mffp.gouv.qc.ca/Diffusion/DonneeGratuite/Foret/DONNEES_FOR_ECO_SUD/Biomasse_et_carbone_forestiers/BIOMASSE_CARBONE_PEE_ORI_PROV_GDB.zip Forest biomass and carbon in southern QuebecGPKG https://diffusion.mffp.gouv.qc.ca/Diffusion/DonneeGratuite/Foret/DONNEES_FOR_ECO_SUD/Biomasse_et_carbone_forestiers/BIOMASSE_CARBONE_PEE_ORI_PROV_GPKG.zip Original metadata (https://www.donneesquebec.ca)HTML https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/fr/dataset/ca497b9d-3b6b-4039-8632-eadfb9335746 READ MEPDF https://diffusion.mffp.gouv.qc.ca/Diffusion/DonneeGratuite/Foret/DONNEES_FOR_ECO_SUD/Biomasse_et_carbone_forestiers/1-Documentation/LISEZ-MOI_biomasse-carb-for-qm.pdf Guide on the method and use of forest biomass and carbon data from southern QuebecPDF https://diffusion.mffp.gouv.qc.ca/Diffusion/DonneeGratuite/Foret/DONNEES_FOR_ECO_SUD/Biomasse_et_carbone_forestiers/1-Documentation/Guide_Biomasse_carbone_methode_utilisation.pdf Availability of forest biomass and carbon dataPDF https://diffusion.mffp.gouv.qc.ca/Diffusion/DonneeGratuite/Foret/DONNEES_FOR_ECO_SUD/Biomasse_et_carbone_forestiers/1-Documentation/Carte_Index_Disponibilite_biomasse_et_carbone_forestier.pdf
