1 lut 2003 · Summary. The ELC of Ontario is used for descriptive, planning, and resource management purposes. The upper levels in its hierarchy are most useful for provincial and regional roll-ups of data and for strategic planning, while the lower (finer-scale) levels of the hierarchy are most useful for detailed resource management prescriptions and other ...
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry defines ecological units on the basis of bedrock, climate (temperature, precipitation), physiography (soils, slope, aspect) and corresponding vegetation. This enhances their compatibility with national and continental classification systems.
