Combines "key ecological values" witin intact forest landscapes in order to idenfify the most valueable areas from an ecological perspective. Results are very broad landscape-scale illustratio of focal areas that may warrant enhanced conservation and stewardship attention. It is not exhaustive. 7 key ecological values are mapped in 1-kilometre grid cells for all Canada's intact forest landscapes: soil organic carbon; net biome productivity; wetlands; lakes and rivers; potential old-growth; species diversity (reptiles and amphibians, birds, mammals, trees); and key focal species (woodland caribou).
