The Agri-Environmental Indicator Residual Soil Nitrogen (RSN) dataset estimates the amount of nitrogen remaining in the soil at the end of the growing season (after harvest) on Canadian agricultural lands annually.

The Agri-Environmental Indicator Particulate Matter dataset provides an estimated net emissions of particulate matter from agricultural lands.

Wildlife habitat capacity is the extent and quality of habitat that can support a diversity of species. When we convert wilderness to agricultural land we lose a great deal of wildlife habitat capacity. However, we can manage agricultural land to regain some of this capacity. Agricultural land...

The Agri-Environmental Indicator Soil Erosion Risk dataset provides the estimated risk of soil loss from the combined effects of wind, water, and tillage for Soil Landscapes of Canada agricultural areas for each year since 1981 to 2021.

The Agri-Environmental Indicator Soil Cover Days dataset provides a calculation of the amount of time each year that the soil of Canada agricultural lands is covered by a crop, crop residues on its surface, or snow.

The Indicator of Risk of Water Contamination by nitrogen (IROWC-N) estimates the risk of water contamination by nitrogen leaching on agricultural lands in Canada from 1981 to 2021. High nitrate level ( > 10 mg N/L) in drinking water may lead to various health impacts including...

The nematode collection was begun by A.D. Baker in 1943 and is the primary depository for Canadian nematodes excluding parasites of humans and other animals. There are nearly 30,000 slides and 5000 vials of over 88,000 roundworm specimens in the Canadian National Collection of Insects, Arachnids,...

There are several species of moths whose caterpillars are significant pests on agricultural crops. While there are natural predators, some are unwilling hosts for parasites. Some parasitoid wasp species contribute to biological control of these caterpillar pests by laying eggs inside live...

Vaccinium is a group of small fruit-bearing shrubs that includes the blueberries, cranberries, and lingonberries which are among the few major crops grown in Canada that are truly native to Canada. Dataset Type: Occurrence Specimen Type: Preserved specimens

The “Gross and Effective Drainage Area Boundaries of the AAFC Watersheds Project - 2013” dataset is a geospatial data layer containing line features representing boundaries associated with the ‘incremental gross drainage areas’ of the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Watersheds Project....

OneSoil employs a proprietary machine learning (ML) model based on state-of-the-art instance segmentation to detect field boundaries. Utilizing raw Sentinel-2 data aggregated according to local vegetation season maps and an additional upscaling module to enhance boundary accuracy, we ensure...

The National Ecological Framework for Canada's "Soil Development by Ecoprovince” dataset contains tables that provide soil development information for components within the ecoprovince framework polygon. It provides soil development codes and their English and French-language descriptions as well...

The Prairie Soil Zones file shows the general distribution of major soil zones across the Prairie region of Canada. Soil zones (based on the Canadian System of Soil Classification) are named based on the dominant soil classification of the soils in each zone. Data extent is limited to the...

The National Ecological Framework for Canada's "Land and Water Area by Province/Territory and Ecodistrict” dataset provides land and water area values by province or territory for the Ecodistrict framework polygon, in hectares. It includes codes and their English and French descriptions for a...

The “Soil Landscapes of Canada (SLC) Version 2.2” dataset series provides a set of geo-referenced soil areas (polygons) that are linked to attribute data found in the associated Component Table (CMP), Landscape Table (LAT), Carbon Layer Table (CLYR), and Dom/Sub File (DOM_SUB). Together, these...

The National Ecological Framework for Canada's "Surface Form by Ecodistrict" dataset contains tables that provide surface form information for components within the ecodistrict framework polygon. It provides surface form codes and their English and French-language descriptions as well as...

The National Ecological Framework for Canada's "Land Cover by Ecodistrict” dataset provides land cover information within the ecodistrict framework polygon. It provides landcover codes and their English and French language description as well as information about the percentage of the polygon...

The National Ecological Framework for Canada's "Total Land and Water Area by Ecoprovince” dataset provides land and water area values for ecoprovince framework polygons, in hectares. It includes attributes for a polygon’s total area, land-only area and large water body area.

The National Ecological Framework for Canada's "Landform by Ecoprovince” series contains tables that provide regional landform information for components within the ecoprovince framework polygon. It provides landform codes and their English and French-language descriptions as well as information...

The National Ecological Framework for Canada's "Land Cover by Ecozone” dataset provides land cover information within the ecozone framework polygon. It provides landcover codes and their English and French language description as well as information about the percentage of the polygon that the...
