Benchmark Production Unit for Ontario commodities

This dataset includes data the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness uses to analyze industry trends such as production units (income and expense) for major commodities. This data is used to deliver Ontario's AgriStability program.

Benchmark Production Units are calculated from commodity specific samples.  They represent normal revenues and costs involved in the production of a specific commodity based on normal or typical farm practices.

AgriStability program assists farms in cases of large margin declines caused by circumstances such as low prices and rising input costs.

Ontario registered beekeepers surveillance

This dataset contains data the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness tracks as part of disease monitoring  to ensure healthy bee population, including inspection results of bee yards of registered beekeepers including pests, disease and colony health findings, permits and orders issued.

To help safeguard the health of the honey bee population, beekeeping in Ontario is regulated by the [Bees Act](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90b06).

Pollen Monitoring Network Study

The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, with assistance from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness, started the Pollen
Monitoring Network in 2015, in support of Ontario's Pollinator Health Action
Plan. This was to measure changes in pesticide (neonicotinoid insecticide,
insecticide and fungicide) concentrations following restrictions on the use of

The data contains measurements of pesticide (neonicotinoid insecticide,
insecticide and fungicide) concentrations in pollen samples collected from
honeybee yards in Ontario.

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 digital atlas contains distribution information of dominant forest plants, species assemblages (vegetation types), and some habitat and structural characteristics for the eco-district 6e10 and Greater Park Ecosystem (GPE) — St. Lawrence Islands National Park.
We used statistical modeling and prediction to make the distributional information for the entire study area. 

We extrapolated information from geo-referenced vegetation data collected during summers from 2005 to 2007 with other spatial layers, such as digital elevation and remote sensing derivatives.

The maps are in raster (grid) format at a 10m resolution. You can navigate them by following the documents and readme files in the individual folders or in the main document folder called ‘6e10_documents’. 

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

Big Picture 2002 natural cores and linkages analysis

The Big Picture 2002 is a legacy geographic information system (GIS) based landscape analysis.

It is a partnership between the Nature Conservancy of Canada and the Ministry of Natural Resources’ Natural Heritage Information Centre. 

Many digital layers covering the Mixedwood Plains ecozone plus a portion of the Ontario Shield ecozone were compiled for this analysis. 
 
These layers include:

* evaluated wetlands
* forest cover
* old growth forest
* rare species and communities
* waterbodies and watercourses
* parks and protected areas
* Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSIs)

The data layers are overlaid in a GIS system and points are assigned to the features in each layer according to their conservation value.

Core natural areas were identified by a combination of minimum size and a minimum point score per pixel. 

Potential linkages between these cores were computed by assigning scores to the landscape surrounding the cores based on the probable resistance to wildlife movement.

We do not currently use this methodology for similar analyses.
