Metadata information:

1) Data name:	
	Canada's forest landscape fragments: A First Approximation (CFLF-1stapprox.shp)

2) Short description:	
	This data layer represents forest landscape fragment polygons larger than 10,000 ha for boreal forest ecozones and larger than 5,000 ha for temperate forest ecozones. A forest landscape fragment is defined as a contiguous mosaic of naturally occurring ecosystems in Canada's forest ecozones, essentially undisturbed by significant human influence. It is a mosaic of various natural ecosystem including forest, bog, water, tundra and rock outcrops.
