Variables of demand for wetland services, indicators of demand for individual services, southern Canada, 2011
Table summary
This table displays variables of demand for wetland services, indicators of demand for individual services, for southern Canada for 2011. The row headers are comprised of the names of the 67 sub-drainage areas found in southern Canada. The column headers are comprised of the sub-drainage area code; area, in square kilometres; streamflow regulation; water quality regulation; and recreational and educational use. Streamflow regulation is broken down into flow variability, CV of flow in major river. Water quality regulation is broken down into the following categories: land area fertilized, in percent of area, nitrogen in manure from livestock, in kilograms per square kilometre and phosphorous in manure from livestock, in kilograms per square kilometre. Recreational and educational use is broken down into the following categories: average natural land parcel size, in square kilometres and average distance to natural land parcel, in metres.
