The goal of the Ecological Land Classification Program (ELC) is to establish a comprehensive and consistent province-wide approach for ecosystem description, inventory, and interpretation that will facilitate key conservation objectives at a variety of scales from site to landscape levels. This prospectus expresses the range of needs and priorities for work in Ontario. The document gives a history of the concept and describes the analysis of needs; program components, including classification development and rationalization, wetlands classification, ecosystem succession, mapping and inventory, and education and transfer; program structure and delivery; and program length and review.

Ecological Land Classification (ELC) refers to the description of land resources at a range of spatial resolutions (i.e. global to local) and for a range of purposes or values. The emerging science of ELC is in fact a very carefully integrated blend of vegetation and earth sciences, climatology, cartography and ecology with a range of new technologies and methodologies including computer-based geographic information systems, remote sensing and simulation modelling. This publication defines the current `state-of-the-art' of ELC. It provides particular insight into the role of ELC in current and future forest resource planning and management, and emphasizes its application and usefulness at various spatial scales, for a variety of geographic locations, and under a range of management scenarios/constraints. The book is an invaluable and substantial reference source about the current trends in ELC and will be of particular value to ecologists, foresters, geographers, resource managers, wildlife biologists, GIS and remote sensing specialists, educators and students.

The goal of the Ontario Ecological Land Classification Program is to establish a comprehensive and consistent province-wide approach for ecosystem description, inventory, and interpretation. The Ontario Ecological Data Repository was established to ensure that the Program's classification data is secure, consistent, and accessible. Data described in this report are contained within the Repository and were used to construct the Northwest Ontario Forest Ecosystem Classification. The data are also being used to construct a wetland ecosystem classification for northwestern Ontario. The report includes both forest and wetland ecosystem plot data including site name and latitude/longitude, soil type, vegetation type, data set, and whether certain types of data are available.
