Environmental Trends in British Columbia 2007


Indicator Data for Download

The attached Excel spreadsheet contains most of the place-based data that were reported in Environmental Trends in British Columbia 2007.  The spreadsheet is designed so topic, environmental indicator or geographical area can be selected from column filters to show the corresponding data. The purpose of this spreadsheet is to help users find data that relates to a specific community or area.

In Environmental Trends 2007, geographically based data were reported as either point data (site, city or town) or area data (watershed, regional district, ecosection or ecoprovince).  Some of these areas are nested within others.  For example, ecosections are nested within ecoprovinces, and watersheds are nested within larger drainage basins.  However, other area boundaries do not overlap – for example, ecoprovinces may not be contained within one drainage basin and regional districts may overlap a number of ecoprovinces or drainage basins.  Point data fits within all area classifications which we identified using iMap, an online mapping application. The column titled, "Data resolution" gives the original scale of data collection.
