As part of measure 2.6 of the 2013-2020 Climate Change Action Plan, the MELCC financed two projects specific to the St. Lawrence river section and aimed at supporting municipalities facing the risks of erosion and flooding. The team from the Marine Geosciences Laboratory of the Department of...

This theme presents the trophic status of lakes monitored as part of the Voluntary Lake Monitoring Network (RSVL) between 2004 and 2020. The trophic state is the result of the compilation of data acquired as part of this network. Trophic levels are used to classify lakes according to their degree...

Note that topographic maps at a scale of 1/100,000 are no longer updated. For the latest update date, see the [metadata] (ftp://transfert.mern.gouv.qc.ca/public/diffusion/RGQ/Documentation/BDAT/Metadonnees_BDAT100k_NordSud.xls). The reference cartographic data is now constituted according to a...

This layer shows the location of the sampled stations classified according to the Eastern Canada Diatom Index (IDEC). It contains data obtained since 1935 that was converted to version 3 of the index (Lavoie et al. 2014). Benthic diatoms are microscopic unicellular algae that line the bottom of...

Municipalities with established populations of Ixodes scapularis ticks (blacklegged ticks) are municipalities where tick populations reproduce and survive from one year to the next. This indicator makes it possible to identify municipalities where their presence suggests a higher risk of tick...

This map illustrates the terrestrial and marine reliefs of Quebec and surrounding territories, at a scale of 1/2,000,000. Color ranges representing altitude classes and blending offer a summary of the relief and the major physiographic groups of Quebec. This map of the relief of Quebec is...

The Route Blanche is a snowmobile trail located on the Lower North Shore, constituting the only winter land link between Kegaska and Blanc-Sablon, thus bridging the road link between municipalities. The White Road is inventoried in the BGR system with the sub-route code “M”, as in this example:...

The layers of administrative divisions offered at the scales of 1/20,000 and 1/100,000 allow the location of boundaries for the following components: * Boroughs and agglomerations; * Municipalities, unorganized territories and indigenous territories; * Administrative regions, metropolitan...

This theme includes data from all metal monitoring stations in the waters of rivers in Quebec and the St. Lawrence River since 2008. It includes the stations of the “Special Metals” tour, the stations of Réseau-Fleuve and Réseau-Rivières as well as the stations of the “Grand Nord” project.This...

Operational Integrated Forest Management Plans (PAFIO) contain areas where wood harvesting and other forest management activities (e.g. non-commercial silvicultural work and roads) are planned in accordance with tactical plans. They are updated on a regular basis. A special management plan (PAS)...

History of annual reviews of the quality of water bodies in Montreal. The aquatic environment monitoring network (RSMA) takes surface water samples in order to draw up a state of the situation in the Montreal agglomeration.This third party metadata element was translated using an automated...

__The link: * Access the data directory is available in the sectionDataset description sheets; Additional information__. Hydrographic derivatives from LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) were produced as part of the provincial LiDAR sensor data acquisition project. These products provide...

The Forest Protection Department of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests has produced a matrix layer representing the potential for the intensity and spread of forest fires in Quebec. This data is the result of the annual analysis of the distribution of forest fuels at a local...

Location of street furniture (payment terminals and signs), regulations, pricing and time periods of street parking spaces in Montreal managed by the [Sustainable Mobility Agency] (https://www.agencemobilitedurable.ca/fr/informations/donnees-ouvertes.html). For the sake of consistency, the...

The GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), or satellite positioning system, includes all satellite navigation systems. It allows you to know your location, anywhere in the country. Theoretical GNSS specifications estimate the accuracy of the position obtained from a receiver to be...

An area of intensification of wood production (AIPL) is a territory mainly intended for wood production in which silvicultural work aims to increase the value, per unit area, of the volume per stem or of the quality of the stems, by the production of desired species or by a combination of these...

Digital terrain models offer a representation of the relief south of the 52nd parallel, in the form of an elevation matrix. This matrix makes it possible to visualize the territory in perspective and to perform three-dimensional spatial analyses, using appropriate software. A module specialized...

#Description This database contains the coordinates of observations of fish and invertebrates, which are exotic and invasive, known by the Ministry of the Environment, the Fight against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks (MELCCFP) in Quebec (MELCCFP) in Quebec as of October 2023. An aquatic...
