This ELC mapping was completed to the community series level to reflect 2020 orthoimagery. The dataset also includes age and species composition of woodlots. Species occurrences are contained in the related table named SpeciesOccurences_20221121. The Mapping Methods and Field Verification report (Dougan and Associate, November 2022) outlines the methods utilized to complete the ELC interpretation, coding, digitization, and the QAQC and field verification approaches. |
