The NEBC Natural Disturbance Units (NEBC_NDU_PY) dataset is a derivative NDU dataset from the BC Geographic Warehouse that has been clipped to northeast BC.
The Natural Disturbance Type map is based on the Provincial Biodiversity Guidebook (1995) and the current and most detailed version of the approved corporate provincial Biogeoclimatic Ecosystem Classification (BEC) Zone/Subzone/Variant/Phase map (version 12, September 2, 2021) (Data Catalog record: https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/bec-map - REG_LAND_AND_NATURAL_RESOURCE.NATURAL_DIST_UNITS_RPG_POLY).
The natural disturbance type classification code is used to designate a period process or event such as insect outbreaks, fire, disease, flooding, windstorms and avalanches that cause ecosystem change and renewal. Natural disturbance type classification and mapping is used for a wide variety of applications in British Columbia. A few examples include: delineation of Natural Disturbance Types for Landscape Unit Planning; delineation of Seed Planning Zones; as an input for Predictive Ecosystem Mapping; reporting on the ecological representation of the Protected Areas Strategy; and as a level in the classification hierarchy for Broad Ecosystem Units.
The Natural Disturbance Type Code as defined in the Provincial Biodiversity Guidebook (1995). The code is used to designate a period process or event such as insect outbreaks, fire, disease, flooding, windstorms and avalanches that cause ecosystem change and renewal. The code values range from 1-5 inclusive.
