BC Grizzly Bear Habitat Classification and Rating

This project includes: • 2 sets of raw data which are specific ratings for each ecosystem unit for 1) Ecosections with Biogeoclimatic zones/subzones/variants and 2) Broad Ecosystem Units. These data are available as spatial files and spreadsheets. • an accompanying report which describes the context, methods, and rationale that were used to create the spatial habitat data and it also summarizes the findings based on different ecological factors such as vegetation type, forest age, ecological diversity, and topography. • a data dictionary and rating rationale for the Broad Ecosystem spatial file. (The Ecosections with Biogeoclimatic zones/subzones/variants data has not been altered and the rationale is included in the ratings file.)
