Ecozones Map

The ecozones of Canada map, produced by Environment Canada, was obtained from the National Atlas of Canada. The 15 ecozones in Canada represent a very broad classification of physiographic and ecological similarities. Two of the ecozones have been split into eastern and western components to reflect differences in rainfall and soil moisture, which have a major impact on the fire environment.
