Landscape type by sub-drainage area, 2001 and 2011
Table summary
This table displays landscape type by sub-drainage area for 2001 and 2011. The row headers are comprised of the 164 sub-drainage area names. The column headers are comprised of the sub-drainage area code and the landscape types (settled area, agricultural land area and natural and naturalizing area), broken down into 2001, 2011, change 2001 to 2011 and 2011. The units of measure are as follows: square kilometres for 2001, 2011 and change 2001 to 2011 and percent of total area for 2011.

1.
Settled area is based on Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's (AAFC) 30 m land cover code for developed areas. Geographic coverage of this data is presented in Map 1, Appendix C. The following SDAs were only partially covered by AAFC’s land cover: Upper Peace-07F (99% coverage), Northeastern Lake Superior-02B (99% coverage), Central Peace, upper-07H (96% coverage), Beaver, Alberta and Saskatchewan-06A (95% coverage), English-05Q (88% coverage), Lake Winnipegosis and Lake Manitoba-05L (88% coverage), Upper Fraser-08K (85% coverage), Lower Fraser-08M (83% coverage), Abitibi-04M (83% coverage), Saint-Maurice-02N (82% coverage) and Betsiamites, coast-02S (80% coverage). Of the above 11 SDAs, no significant settled area was identified in the area outside AAFC’s coverage.
2.
Agricultural land area is based on the Census of Agriculture variable total farm area.
3.
Natural and naturalizing area is based on the residual landscape of a sub-drainage area that is not settled or used for agriculture. The sum of settled area, agricultural land area and natural and naturalizing area may not add up to the total sub-drainage area indicated in Table 1, Appendix C due to rounding. It excludes bodies of water based on the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) land cover time series code 24 (open water). Geographic coverage of this data is presented in Map 1, Appendix C.
4.
Data presented for Settled area is for 2000; Change for Settled area is from 2000 to 2011.
5.
Total area of the sub-drainage area excluding bodies of water, based on the CCRS land cover time series code 24 (open water) (Table 1, Appendix C).
Note(s):
Measuring land cover categories is subject to certain limitations due to difficulties in distinguishing between different land cover types.
