Digital atlas of predicted species distributions, vegetation assemblages and habitat characteristics for the eco-district 6e10 and GPE — St. Lawrence Islands National Park, Version 1.0

In southern Ontario, there is a lack of current ‘wall-to wall’, fine-scale, vegetation class and species vegetation mapping to support diverse applications and initiatives related to natural resource management, conservation and landscape and land-use planning. These maps could serve as baseline information for:

• natural heritage design and planning
• Species at Risk (SAR) recovery planning
• state of biodiversity reporting
• forest management and planning
• invasive species management
• ecological goods and services estimates
• wildlife habitat modeling and mapping
• additional applications and research techniques
• requiring mapped vegetation information __How to reference this dataset__ This product should be referenced as: Puric-Mladenovic, Danijela, Julia Buck; David Bradley, Robert Arends, Silvia Strobl, and Nayna Khalatkar (2008). _Digital atlas of predicted species distributions, vegetation assemblages and habitat characteristics for the eco-district 6e10 and GPE — St. Lawrence Islands National Park’_, version 1.0..

The following activities took place during 2008:
• spectral and environmental data assembly
• predictive modelling and mapping Alternate title: Plant atlas for St. Lawrence Islands National Park
