Pour cueillir les données relatives aux composantes biotiques et abiotiques du milieu forestier, le Québec effectue notamment des inventaires écologiques, aux fins desquels il distingue quatre niveaux de perception : la région écologique, le district écologique, le type écologique et le type forestier. [...] Le territoire forestier québécois a d'abord été divisé en régions écologiques caractérisées par un climat homogène et un domaine bioclimatique particulier, comme l'érablière à bouleau jaune, la pessière noire, etc., qui ont été cartographiées à l'échelle 1/1250000. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9cor%C3%A9gion
