The TEI Data Distribution packages in this folder contain of the full Terrestrial Ecosystem Information (TEI) dataset split into Predictive Ecosystem Mapping (PEM) data and non-PEM data which includes Terrestrial Ecosystem Mapping (TEM), Terrain Mapping (TER), Bioterrain Mapping (TBT) Terrain...

The Natural Disturbance Type map is based on the Provincial Biodiversity Guidebook (1995) and the current and most detailed version of the approved corporate provincial Biogeoclimatic Ecosystem Classification (BEC) Zone/Subzone/Variant/Phase map (version 12, September 2, 2021) (Data Catalog...

The Forest Inventory Zone(s) (FIZ) were developed to provide a broadly based ecological classification of the forest land in British Columbia. FIZ closely follow the early biogeoclimatic zones developed by Dr. Krajina. The province of British Columbia is split into 12 FIZ zones.

A list of the site series ecological units of the current biogeoclimatic ecosystem classification. Site series are subdivisions of the biogeoclimatic subzone/variant, and describe sites capable of producing the same mature or climax vegetation unit (plant association or sometimes,...

The Soils Parent Materials raster prediction surface was crated using a Random Forest classifier trained with single component polygons from soils, terrain and ecosystem mapping projects, and 18 topographic predictor layers derived from the provincial 25m DEM. It is a prediction of mode of...

A list of the various 'regional' (zone/subzone/variant/phase) ecological units of the current biogeoclimatic ecosystem classification. At this 'regional' level, vegetation, soils and topography are used to infer the climate and to identify geographic areas that have relatively uniform climate....

Terrestrial Ecosystem Mapping (TEM) project boundaries contains (study areas) and attributes describing each project (project level metadata), plus links to the locations of other data associated with the project (e.g., reports, polygon datasets, plotfiles, field data, legends).TEM divides the...

SEI_Polygons contains Sensitive Ecosystems Inventory polygons with key and amalgamated (concatenated) attributes derived from the RISC (Resource Inventory Standards Committee) standard attributes. SEI identifies and maps rare and fragile terrestrial ecosystems. Ecosystems mapped may include (but...

Soil Survey Project Boundaries (soil mapping study areas) contains the soil survey project area and attributes describing each project (project level metadata), plus links to the locations of other data associated with the project (e.g., soil survey reports, polygon datasets, plotfiles, scanned...

Species Distribution Modeling (SDM) and Wildlife Habitat Ratings (WHR) project boundaries contains (study areas) and attributes describing each project (project level metadata), plus links to the locations of other data associated with the project (e.g. reports, WHR polygon datasets, plotfiles)....

Sensitive Ecosystems Inventory (SEI) project boundaries (study areas) contains attributes describing each project (project level metadata), and includes links to the locations of other data associated with the project (e.g. reports, polygon datasets, plot files). SEI identifies and maps rare and...

This tabular dataset is the result of an analysis supporting the 'Status of Ground-Level Ozone in B.C.' indicator produced by Environmental Reporting BC. The results contain the Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS) metrics for ozone for air quality monitoring stations and air zones in...

This tabular dataset is the result of an analysis supporting the 'Status of Fine Particulate Matter in B.C.' indicator produced by Environmental Reporting BC. The results contain the Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS) metrics for fine particulate matter (PM2.5) for air quality...

The Central Group Caribou Partnership Agreement Zones are the spatial data associated with the Intergovernmental Partnership Agreement for the Conservation of the Central Group of the Southern Mountain Caribou (February 21, 2020). This most current version of the data was produced in July 2024.

The B.C. nickel water quality guideline (WQG) for the protection of aquatic life was derived in 2024 and uses a biotic ligand model (BLM) to account for site specific toxicity modifying factors such as temperature, pH, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and hardness. The B.C. nickel BLM software,...
