Register of protected areas and ECAs in Quebec

These themes present the compilation of protected areas in Quebec. They also include important territories. Protected areas include a variety of different legal or administrative designations. Territories registered on the Register of Protected Areas and AMCEAs must meet the definitions of the Natural Heritage Conservation Act (LCPN; RLRQ, chapter C-61.01) or those of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The LCPN definition of a protected area is “A protected area is a territory, in a terrestrial or aquatic environment, geographically delimited, whose legal framework and administration are specifically aimed at ensuring the protection and maintenance of biological diversity and associated natural and cultural resources”. While IUCN defines it as “A clearly defined, recognized, recognized, dedicated and managed geographic space, by any effective legal or other means, in order to ensure the long-term conservation of nature and associated ecosystem services and cultural values.” Other effective conservation measures (ECMA), an internationally recognized concept, are areas that benefit from measures (legal, regulatory or other) to preserve biodiversity outside protected areas in the long term. Unlike a protected area, an ECMA does not necessarily have an overriding conservation objective, but still generates positive, sustainable and effective results for biodiversity. A territory of importance for conservation is a geographically delimited territory, for which the Ministry of the Environment and, of the Fight against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks (MELCCFP) or an authority of the Government of Quebec has expressed its intention to prioritize its allocation for the purposes of protected areas.

Lidar - Digital models (terrain, canopy, slope, level curve)

__The link: *Access the data directory* is available in the section*Dataset Description Sheets; Additional Information*__.


Products derived from lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) are generated as part of the provincial lidar sensor data acquisition project. It is therefore to facilitate the use of raw lidar data and optimize its benefits that the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests (MRNF) generated and made available products derived from lidar in a user-friendly format. 
Lidar technology makes it possible to accurately provide information such as ground altitude, forest cover height (canopy), slopes, and contour lines.

Here is the list of the five derivatives: 

+ Digital terrain model (spatial resolution: 1 m)

+ Digital terrain model in shaded relief (spatial resolution: 2 m)

+ Canopy height model (spatial resolution: 1 m)

+ Slopes (spatial resolution: 2 m)

+ Level curve (range: 1 m)

This data covers almost all of the southern part of the province. This map is distributed by map sheets at a scale of ** 1:20,000**.

⚡ If you want to download **lidar point clouds**, please consult the Quebec Lidar Data page.

__ ⚠️ 1) Note that__ the resolution of the following products (digital terrain model, digital terrain model in shaded relief, canopy height model and slopes) **has been slightly degraded** when viewed in the interactive map to ensure efficient display.

__ ⚠️ 2) Note that__ **the planimetric and altimeter accuracy of the curves is variable**, but inevitably lower than that of the lidar surveys used to generate them. Moreover, it is recommended to use these level curves only for visual representations, and not for quantitative analyses.

Groundwater knowledge projects - PACES

These projects aim to draw up a realistic and concrete portrait of groundwater resources in municipal territories in southern Quebec. They were carried out by university research teams, in partnership with regional actors, in order to provide the knowledge essential for sustainable and integrated management of resources in a context of climate change. This knowledge is available to the general public, in the form of databases, cartographic representations, summary and scientific reports and cartographic atlases, in various formats, for almost all of the municipal territory of southern Quebec. In particular, they provide information on the quality, quantity and vulnerability of the resource. They are useful for water professionals working for example in the field of water research for municipal water supply, resource protection or university research. They are also useful in ensuring the compatibility of development and land use planning with the protection of water resources.

Temperature variations for the urbanization perimeters of the smallest municipalities 2020-2022

Map illustrating the differences in relative surface temperatures for all small urban areas in Quebec. The relative temperature difference is the temperature difference in the city compared to a nearby wooded area.
 
With a 9-level scale for classifying relative differences in temperature, this map indicates areas that are relatively cooler or warmer within urbanization perimeters. This map is complementary to the * [map of urban heat/fresh islands (ICFU)] (https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/dataset/ilots-de-chaleur-fraicheur-urbains-et-ecarts-de-temperature-relatifs-2020-2022) *. In fact, it covers all areas of urbanization that are not (or only partially) covered by the ICFU card. Thus, the two maps placed side by side allow a complete coverage of all population centers and urbanization perimeters in Quebec.
 
The interval values for each class of temperature difference within the urbanization perimeters also come from the ICFU map: the classification thresholds for the temperature differences of an urbanization perimeter are reproduced from those of the ICFU map for the population center closest to the urbanization perimeter.

The production of this data was carried out by the National Institute of Public Health of Quebec (INSPQ) and was funded under the * [Plan for a Green Economy] (https://www.quebec.ca/gouvernement/politiques-orientations/plan-economie-verte) * of the Government of Quebec.

Geobase - destroyed sections

The geobase is the spatial representation of the road network in the form of a filamentary network composed of lines called sections. A section represents a portion of road with homogeneous characteristics, including attributes such as official place names, address ranges, functional hierarchy classes, traffic directions, and other information.

During the upgrade operations, some sections are destroyed, as the roads they represented were closed. Also, when sections need to be segmented or merged, the old sections are destroyed and new sections are created.

This data set includes the destroyed sections that were part of the [Geobase - road network] data set (http://donnees.montreal.ca/dataset/geobase). 

Only sections destroyed after ** _October 25, 2017_ ** are included in this __Geobase - destroyed tracks__ data set.

Forest vegetation vigor index based on satellite images

__Update: The data released by the Directorate of Forest Inventories from 2021 to 2024 (DIF) has been replaced by data produced by the Directorate of Forest Protection from 2025.
The link: *Access the data directory* is available in the section*Dataset Description Sheets; Additional Information*__.

In 2025, the Forest Protection Directorate of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests (MRNF) began producing data that indicate the strength of forest vegetation. To produce the NBR index, the SGRF uses data provided by the Landsat (NASA) and Sentinel-2 (European Space Agency) satellites combined in the integrated satellite product “Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 surface reflectance data set” designed by NASA. These satellite sensors measure light at specific frequencies called spectral bands. The light visible to human eyes corresponds to the red, blue, and green spectral bands as captured by a standard camera or camera. In addition, these satellite sensors offer the advantage of measuring infrared frequencies that are invisible to the human eye, which broadens the possibilities of observing natural phenomena under different characteristics.
During the passage of a satellite over Quebec, only a part of Quebec is measured. The waves measured by Landsat and Sentinel-2 are blocked by clouds or by heavy air pollution such as forest fire smoke. Thus, to obtain a complete portrait of the Quebec forest for a given season, it is necessary to combine acquisitions from several different dates. The acquisition period for SGRF products extends from July 15 to September 15. This is a period that optimizes the observation of damage caused by spruce budworm.
The products are delivered in the “Québec Lambert” coordinate reference system (EPSG: 32198). In addition, to keep only observations on forest territories, a mask was applied using the “CO_TER = Null” attribute from Quebec's ecoforest mapping as well as a mask to remove forest roads and paths. 

Because of this product, the DPF also produces DNBr images, pre-epidemic DNBr images, and time series (2014 to present). All documentation can be found in the lisez-moi.pdf file in the “Documentation” section.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
