Natural disturbance data - Insect: Spruce budworm

Every year, since 1967, the Ministère des Forêts, de la Faune et des Parcs (MFFP) has been conducting an aerial survey of damage caused by the main insects and diseases that attack trees. This fact sheet focuses exclusively on data on damage caused by spruce budworm (TBE).

The aerial survey is carried out in sectors previously determined according to the damage of the previous year and the results of inventories to predict the populations of this insect.

From 2013 to 2022, the DPF acquired aerial survey videos to obtain additional observer data. Since 2023, high-resolution geotagged images have replaced videos.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Heat islands

Polygons representing heat islands on the ground surface. A heat island is defined as the difference in temperatures observed between two surrounding environments at the same time. The different temperature differences are mainly explained by the type of soil layout such as the vegetation cover, the impermeability of the materials and the thermal properties of the materials. This difference can reach more than 12°C.

The 2020-2030 Montreal Climate Plan aims, among other things, to improve urban planning and regulatory tools. Montréal has thus committed to updating the climate change vulnerability analysis, including the heat island map, carried out as part of the 2015-2020 Agglomération de Montréal Climate Change Adaptation Plan and to integrating it into the next urban and mobility plan. The urban heat island maps were produced in collaboration with the Department of Geography of the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM).

The data can also be viewed on the [interactive heat island map] (https://bter.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=157cde446d8942d7b4367e2159942e05).**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Hydrocoherent numerical terrain models at the regional scale

### #Des hydrocoherent numerical terrain models (MNT-HC) are also offered south of the 52nd parallel. They are accessible via the [High Resolution Quebec Hydrographic Network Geobase (GRHQ-HR)] (https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/dataset/geobase-du-reseau-hydrographique-du-quebec-a-haute-resolution-grhq-hr) 

These hydrocoherent numerical terrain models (DTM — HC) offer a regional numerical representation of Quebec relief based on altimetric (altitude) and planimetric (rectangular or geographic) data. They are the result of a collaboration between the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests (MRNF) and Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) within the framework of the Agreement to produce an up-to-date digital map of northern Quebec and the creation of the product “National Hydro Network (RHN)” for the territory of Quebec.

When integrated into a geographic information system, these models allow the implementation of multiple types of spatial analyses such as natural risks, landscape analysis, infrastructure implementation, etc.

Hydrocoherent MNTs are obtained as a result of hypsometric and hydrographic data processing that uses the concept of hydrocoherence, which consists in interpolating altimetric values by ensuring a connected drainage network and an accurate representation of ridges and watercourses. The oriented RHN filament makes it possible to grade lakes and to control the altimetric descent of watercourses. The final product is a quality portrait of relief on a scale of 1/50,000. DMTs provide altitude values that are based on a grid with a resolution of 0.324 arcseconds in geographic coordinates, which corresponds to a resolution of about 10 meters in the field.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

3-30-30 rule for monitoring access to green spaces

Polygon representing the 3-30-300 Rule, i.e. seeing 3 trees near your home, moving to neighborhoods where 30% of the space is covered by trees and living less than 300 meters from a green space. This nature-based approach aims to create greener and more resilient cities. It was developed by the Dutch researcher [Cecil Konijnendijk] (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/353571108_The_3-30-300_Rule_for_Urban_Forestry_and_Greener_Cities) working in the fields of forestry and urban ecology.

These layers are used for the planning of plantations in vulnerable sectors with the target of 500,000 trees to be planted by the City and its partners, as part of the 2020-2030 Climate Plan. They also help to better plan and prioritize greening projects.

The data can also be consulted on the interactive map of vulnerabilities to climate change in the Montreal agglomeration. https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/944e0b7104bd491591ccca829da24670/page/Page/**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Bacteriological monitoring of the river - Potential bathing sites

This theme presents the index of water health along the banks of the St. Lawrence River. It makes it possible to determine if the sites present risks to human health and if they are suitable for swimming.

These data are the result of an exploratory monitoring program that aims to raise awareness among the population and local actors about the possible reopening of bathing sites that have good potential. This program also makes it possible to highlight any improvement in bacteriological quality resulting from the reduction of wastewater overflows during rainy weather or resulting from the installation of disinfection equipment.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Maricolous sites

Mariculture includes several different types of activities in public marine areas, such as the cultivation and harvesting of seaweed, the harvesting of green urchins, and the breeding of blue mussels or scallops, among others. Each of these activities has very distinct environmental, physicochemical and biological needs, in addition to having to coexist safely with other human activities and constraints in the maritime environment. For these reasons, mariculture activities must take place in delimited and reserved marine areas, and therefore require a permit.

The “Maricolous Sites” data set brings together under provincial coverage (polygons) the information contained in the permits issued by the regional directorates. It identifies businesses, and presents their permit numbers, types of activities and species that they are authorized to raise, as well as the location and area of sites (polygons) under permits and authorizations to operate a mariculture site issued by MAPAQ.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Map indexes at the scale of 1/2,000, 1/20,000, and 1/100,000

Map indexes are grids that divide the territory into several sheets for the whole of Quebec. The use of these indexes allows the identification of a map sheet number for a specific territory at the scale of 1/2,000, 1/20,000 and 1/100,000.

The cartographic indexes come from the Quebec cartographic reference system (S.Q.R.C), which divides the territory into hierarchical units and at different scales (1/100,000, 1/20,000, 1/10,000, 1/10,000, 1/10,000, 1/10,000, 1/10,000, 1/5,000, 1/5,000, 1/5,000, 1/1,000).

Planning and development plan - Community facilities

__collective equipment__ brings together buildings housing activities that meet the various needs of the population in terms of health, education, culture, sport and tourism.

The classification of public facilities according to their metropolitan or agglomeration interests is carried out solely for the purposes of land use planning and does not in any way affect the division of powers established in accordance with applicable laws.

The data available in this set come from section 2.1 of the Land Use and Development Plan of the Agglomération de Montréal. They are represented on __maps 34 to 38__, located in Appendix I.

Presented in section 2.3 and illustrated on __map 44__, __equipment and infrastructures related to water__ allow the practice of various nautical activities on the large bodies of water surrounding the agglomeration of Montreal.

This urban planning and development plan for the agglomeration of Montreal outlines the main parameters that will guide the Montreal agglomeration council in decisions relating to land use planning in the coming years. From a perspective of sustainable development, this document guides decisions that shape the territory in order to promote compact and greener neighborhoods, increase public and active transportation, support the economic dynamism of the agglomeration and highlight areas of interest.

Potential flow bed from LiDAR

__The link: * Access the data directory* is available in the section*Dataset description sheets; Additional information*__.


Hydrographic derivatives from LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) were produced as part of the provincial LiDAR sensor data acquisition project. These products provide information on the geographical position of water flow beds on the territory as well as their nature (permanent or intermittent watercourse). These layers represent the path that water should take depending on the topography. It is therefore a potential flow bed that does not take into account the nature of the surface deposit or underground pipes. 

These vector layers are preliminary and do not replace reference hydrographic layers such as the Quebec Hydrographic Network Geobase (GRHQ). They are primarily used to support forest operations. These layers will also be improved over the coming years thanks to a collective effort by two ministries, namely the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests (MRNF) and the Ministry of the Environment, the Fight against Climate Change, and Wildlife and Parks (MELCCFP).

Data on potential flow beds are distributed, as of March 2022, by water drainage unit (UDH), a division that respects the natural boundaries of the watershed. This division uses the same codes and approximately the same spatial limits of the UDHs of the GRHQ. Data for each UDH is available in Geodatabase (GDB) or GeoPackage (GPKG) format.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Atlas of areas of conservation interest in the St. Lawrence Lowlands

Produced as part of the St. Lawrence Action Plan, the Atlas of Territories of Conservation Interest in the St. Lawrence Lowlands shows the sites where conservation needs are the most pressing. The conservation targets selected (coarse filter) are forest environments, wetlands, open environments (wastelands, perennial crops) and aquatic environments to which are added elements of the fine filter such as exceptional aquatic environments associated with the St. Lawrence corridor (e.g. spawning grounds), alvars, bird colonies, wildlife elements (e.g. nesting sites of Bank Swallows and Chimney Swift, etc.) and important floristic occurrences. Our objective is to determine the sites of interest until a representative threshold of 20% is reached.

The geospatial data associated with sites of interest for conservation, the user guide, the methodological report, the metadata as well as the detailed mapping of land use in the St. Lawrence Lowlands, which was an essential basic data for producing this atlas, are available for download.

Users can therefore more accurately consult the spatial distribution of sites of interest and the conservation value associated with each plot of habitat for conservation targets (forest environments, wetlands, wastelands, perennial crops, aquatic environments) using geographic information systems (e.g. ArcGIS). Users can also adapt the analysis of this data to their territorial reality and according to specific objectives specific to their interests. Since the conservation of natural environments and species in precarious situations is a shared responsibility, this Atlas will make it possible to meet the priorities of the many organizations involved in the conservation of natural environments in the St. Lawrence Lowlands.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Urban plan - Land use

Note: The Urban Plan (regulation 04-047) was __repealed on June 16, 2025__, this data is now obsolete, please refer to the data sets of the Urban and Mobility Plan 2050 (regulation 24-017).

The land use illustrated by this map has ten categories. They are explained in [Section 3.1.1] (https://mtl.ged.montreal.ca/constellio/?collection=mtlca&portal=REPDOCVDM#!searchResults/s/9f45f91f-af33-11ee-9b08-4b10d95b597d) of the Urban Plan.

The first four are inclusive in nature and correspond to distinct urban environments (residential, mixed, diversified activities and employment sectors). The other five, which are essentially exclusive in nature, apply to areas reserved for particular activities (large institutional facilities, convents, monasteries or places of worship, agricultural, conservation, large green space or waterfront park, large right-of-way or large public infrastructure).
