NatGRID is an acronym that stands for National Georeferenced Resource Information for Decision-makers. The aim is to provide information on the spatial distribution of the key ecological characteristics and wood resources of Canada's forests. These values reflect core issues in the debate about sustainable development. To generate this information requires the integration of biological field survey data (that has typically been collected by forest researchers), remotely sensed data about forest canopy cover and most importantly, spatial data that model the environmental drivers of forest systems. 1, record 1, English, - National%20Georeferenced%20Resource%20Information%20for%20Decision%2Dmakers

Le SIGRID est l'acronyme de Système national d'information géographique sur les ressources à l'intention des décideurs. Il a pour objectif de fournir de l'information sur la répartition spatiale des principales caractéristiques écologiques et des ressources ligneuses des forêts du Canada. Ces valeurs reflètent les questions qui sont au cœur du débat sur le développement durable. Pour obtenir cette information, il faut intégrer les données des relevés biologiques de terrain (habituellement recueillies par des chercheurs forestiers), les données sur le couvert forestier acquises par télédétection et, plus important encore, les données géographiques (aussi appelées données à référence spatiale ou données localisées) qui dépeignent les facteurs écologiques agissant sur les écosystèmes forestiers. 1, record 1, French, - Syst%C3%A8me%20national%20d%27information%20g%C3%A9ographique%20sur%20les%20ressources%20%C3%A0%20l%27intention%20des%20d%C3%A9cideurs
