The physical land cover account compiles the land area for the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s, as well as the increase, decrease and net change in area between these decades, by land cover class. These statistics are available for six administrative regions: Bas-Saint-Laurent, Capitale-Nationale, Outaouais, Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine, and Chaudière-Appalaches. The study area may be incomplete for certain regions (preliminary data); the study area and number of regions available will evolve as the fifth ecoforestry inventory progresses.
