Abstract: Ecological framework maps for the Yukon resulting from the national report "A National Ecological Framework for Canada". Each area can be viewed as a discrete system which has resulted from the mesh and interplay of the geologic, landform, soil, vegetative, climatic, wildlife, water, and human factors which may be present. The National Ecological Framework for Canada is part of the CGDI National Resolution Framework Data. It has been aligned to the National Frameworks, Canada - 1:M scale Hydrology.Distributed from GeoYukon by the Government of Yukon.

Purpose: 1995 Ecoregions of Yukon part of the National Ecological Framework (NEF), which classifies and maps ecological areas to identify land units with similar biophysical properties at different scales. The NEF has a strong focus on physiography and landscape patterns but also considers climate and vegetation. Three levels of the NEF are used in Yukon from the most general to most detailed they are ecozones, ecoregions and ecodistrict. This dataset includes the ecozone and ecoregion levels of the classification hierarchy.
