Datasets provide model-specific fuel consumption ratings and estimated carbon dioxide emissions for new light-duty vehicles for retail sale in Canada. To help you compare vehicles from different model years, the fuel consumption ratings for 1995 to 2014 vehicles have been adjusted to reflect...

PURPOSE: Determine the time and temperature combinations that result in partial and complete mortality of larvae of the Bronze birch borer DESCRIPTION: The protection of forest resources and the safe trade of forest products require phytosanitary measures which reduce the risk of pest movement to...

The Traits of Plants in Canada (TOPIC) open access literature review module provides access to an open dataset of data gathered from the scientific literature. The Traits of Plants in Canada (TOPIC) database serves as a hub for centralizing knowledge on plant functional traits in Canada. Under...

Traits of Plants in Canada (TOPIC) Open Access provides an access to TOPIC datasets as data become publicly available. The database is organized in two separate modules: 1) The Literature review module aims to consolidate data gathered from the scientific literature. 2) The Empirical measurements...

The Traits of Plants in Canada (TOPIC) open access empirical measurements module provides access to an open dataset of direct observations collected in the field, laboratory, greenhouse or garden. The Traits of Plants in Canada (TOPIC) database serves as a hub for centralizing knowledge on plant...

Co-Vitas project traits data. The Co-VITAS project is investigating understory species (6 ubiquitous boreal species) response and adaptive capacity to environmental change, by measuring a set of leaf and root traits throughout the species range. We enlisted and coordinated the efforts of 23...

In November 2020, the Minister of Natural Resources Canada launched an inclusive engagement process to modernize Canada’s policy for the management of radioactive waste. Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) officials led the six-month engagement process with the support of other federal government...

This dataset is associated with the article authored by Marine Pacé, David Paré, Nicole Fenton and Yves Bergeron entitled "Effect of lichen, Sphagnum spp. and feather moss leachates on jack pine and black spruce growth ". It includes growth surveys of jack pine and black spruce in greenhouse at...

This dataset is linked to a manuscript titled "Enantiospecific response of Ips avulsus to ipsdienol varies depending on semiochemical context" submitted for publication. The dataset contains records of the number of Ips avulsus beetles captured by traps baited with racemic ipsdienol or...

This is a dataset listing the number of publications by year in GEOSCAN. GEOSCAN is the bibliographic database for scientific publications of Natural Resources Canada.

Four to six years measurements of carbon and nutrient fluxes at 21 sites located along a 4oC climatic gradient, half of which were in balsam fir stands and the other half in black spruce stands. Litter fall is measured as well as respiration in situ using an IRGA device.

Data used in the article, Ecology of outbreak populations of the western spruce budworm by V. Nealis and J. Régnière in Ecosphere 2021.

The 2020 National Building Code of Canada Seismic Hazard Tool provides seismic values for the design of buildings in Canada under Part 4 of the National Building Code of Canada (NBC) 2020 as prescribed in Article 1.1.3.1. of Division B of the NBC 2020. The user can choose to query results for...

We measured the foliage area, weight and number of buds on young and mature balsam fir and white spruce trees. With these measurements total amounts of foliage per tree and per unit area of forest land can be calculated. These estimates can be used to determine the absolute numbers of insects...

This dataset is associated with the article authored by Jacques Régnière, Lisa Venier and Dan Welsh entitled "Avian predation in a declining outbreak population of the spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)" which will be published in the "Insects" scientific journal....

Under the Open Government Action Plan, and related National Action Plan, the FGP is required to report on its commitments related to: supporting a user-friendly open government platform; improving the quality of open data available on open.canada.ca; and reviewing additional geospatial datasets...

In the early 1980’s, thousands of trees were destructively sampled across Canada by the Canadian Forest Service (CFS) as part of the ENergy from the FORest research (ENFOR) program with the objective to produce regional biomass equations for the most common tree species. The sampling was...

The data sets provide specific information about the energy consumption of home appliances imported into Canada or shipped between provinces.
