Quality index of the shoreline of benthos monitoring stations

The Riparian Quality Index (IQBR) is used to assess the ecological condition of the shoreline environment. It is built from nine components that have been weighted according to their potential to perform ecological functions in terms of the protection of aquatic ecosystems.

Data on shoreline quality come from benthos monitoring stations sampled between 2003 and 2023.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Monitoring of pesticides in groundwater

This thematic layer shows the location of the wells sampled for pesticides in the context of various studies carried out near certain target crop environments between 1999 and 2024. The data comes from an extraction from the BQMA and, when a report is available on the Department's website, the reader can access it from a link in the information window. 

Private well sampling stations are grouped by watershed in order to comply with sections 53 and 54 of the Act on access to documents held by public bodies and on the protection of personal information.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Original ecoforest map and current inventory results

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


The original ecoforest map and inventory results are a collection of ecoforest data including the original ecoforest map and numerous other tables that provide information directly related to forest stands. The information in this dataset corresponds to the portrait of the forest up to the year of aerial photography. This data covers six categories of information:

+ The original ecoforest map made up of ecoforest polygons. This is the geographic base to which all other data is attached;

+ Forest compilations that contain, among other things, gross market volumes evaluated by species, by attribution group (e.g., SEPM) and by type of species (e.g., softwood);

+ The ecological classification of Quebec territory;

+ Data on the characterization of forest stations and characteristics of wood; 

+ Wood quality characterization data;

+ Forest biomass and carbon.


This map covers almost all of the territory south of the 52nd parallel of Quebec's public and private forest. It is distributed by map sheet at a scale of 1/250,000. The minimum mapping area is 4 ha.

__ ⚠️ Notes:__

+ All tables and entity classes in this data group can be linked using the “GEOCODE” field.

+ The geographic databases published in this directory do not include information collected during the survey (sample plots). 

+ Consult the [Updated Ecoforest Map] (https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/fr/dataset/carte-ecoforestiere-avec-perturbations) () for an up-to-date portrait of forest territory, also available on Data Quebec.

Median surface water hardnesses

This thematic layer represents the characterization of the hardness of surface water in Quebec. The hardness is presented according to the medians calculated from the concentrations of calcium and magnesium ions in seven classes. 

Water hardness influences the toxicity of certain metals, including barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, copper, manganese, nickel, nickel, lead, and zinc. Surface water quality criteria are determined according to the hardness of the receiving watercourse. These criteria are used to make judgments about surface water quality and are the basis for groundwater criteria used to assess the quality of groundwater that recurs as surface water. Finally, they are the key element in calculating environmental discharge objectives (EORs) used to assess the quality of wastewater discharges to the aquatic environment. For a discharge that occurs on an annual basis, the median hardness of the receiving water body is generally used to calculate water quality criteria for aquatic life.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

“Montreal by foot” basemap

This data set presents the basemap developed as part of the Montreal by Foot (MàP) project in a web tiled map service (_Web Tile Map Service_ WTMS). It is made available in order to allow citizens and partners of the City to create web mapping tools by offering a unique graphic charter, designed specifically to promote pedestrian travel.

The Montréal à Pied project aims to improve orientation and pedestrian paths throughout Montreal. The selection and classification of places of interest prioritize pedestrian and local travel. This project includes a cartographic component intended to renew the graphic signature of the representation of the City of Montreal, on digital media and on urban furniture receiving maps of the City. The basemap is intended in particular to support the representation of data [Places of interest] (places of interest) also developed under the MàP project and available as open data.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Felling - Public trees on the territory of the City

Data on the felling of trees belonging to the municipality designated as “public domain.” This data contains street and off-street trees (parks and public squares) since the period between 1989 and 1991, the first period of massive inventory in Montreal.

Please note that in many cases, data concerning the spatial location of trees may be inaccurate. In addition, it is important to mention that this set only shows the tree felling collected in Montreal's centralized system. Some boroughs therefore do not fit into it.

MTL Trajet travel

In a context of numerous projects, Montreal has made every effort to improve the mobility of users, all modes of transport combined. The [MTL Trajet] application (https://ville.montreal.qc.ca/mtltrajet/) is one of the many measures put forward to better understand and facilitate travel in Montreal.

This set contains the filtered data collected during this study. The data is divided into two different sets to offer the maximum amount of data without compromising the confidentiality of users of the MTL Trajet application.

__Points__

The “points_mtl_trip” data set includes each of the points, with an acceptable positioning quality, collected during the MTL Trajet travel survey. These points have been treated and filtered to remove all sensitive items on a user.

__Rides__ 

This file includes each of the paths obtained using the filtered data. This file is therefore an agglomeration of points into segments making it possible to define the routes of users. These segments were produced using the OSRM routing engine in order to identify points on the networks (lanes, bike paths, subway, suburban train). In order to protect the privacy of users of the application, the information allowing trips to be linked to users has been removed. These trips are then complete; on the other hand, it is impossible to determine whether two trips were made by the same user.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
