Environment Module & Human Activity and the Environment



Environment Module

Environment module - The Environment module presents a variety of human activity data, demographic, socioeconomic and agricultural, which have an impact on the environment. Data are represented by natural geographies, drainage basins, ecozones, ecoregions and by province


Ecozones and Ecoregions

Ecozones - An ecozone is an area that represents a single, large ecosystem. Like biomes, ecozones are unique in terms of plants, wildlife, climate, geology, and human activities. Unlike biomes, ecozones have specific locations on the earth's surface. Canada has 20 ecozones: 15 terrestrial (land) and 5 marine (ocean).

Ecoregions -Each ecozone in Canada is divided into

several ecoregions. These ecoregions represent smaller, distinct ecosystems which share similar characteristics. Canada has 217 terrestrial (land) ecoregions.
