Ecoregions 2014 - 1M

In 2011, the Yukon Ecological and Landscape Classification Program formed an ecoregion working group. The goal was to revise the 1995 mapping to match newly developed ecological regions in the Northwest Territories, and to accommodate minor revisions made in British Columbia and significant revisions in Alaska. The Yukon ecoregion revisions also incorporated newly available input information such as surficial and land cover/vegetation mapping, Digital Elevation Models and data from advances in GIS technology. For more information about the Ecoregions of Yukon, 2014 revision and comparison to the National Ecological Framework published in 1995 please refer to the Yukon Ecological and Landscape Classification and Mapping Guidelines, Case Study 1: Ecoregions of Yukon (Environment Yukon 2016).
