Predictive Ecosystem Mapping (PEM) Project Boundaries

Predictive Ecosystem Mapping (PEM) Project Boundaries (STE_PEM_PROJECT_BOUNDARIES_SVW) contains boundaries (study areas) and attributes describing each PEM project (project level metadata), plus links to the locations of other data associated with the project (e.g., reports, polygon datasets, plotfiles, legends). This layer is derived from the STE_TEI_PROJECT_BOUNDARIES_SP layer by filtering on the PROJECT_TYPE attribute. Project types include: PEM, PEMWHR, PEMSDM and PEMTBT. PEM project boundaries should be used in conjunction with PEM modelled polygons which divide the landscape into units according to a variety of ecological features including climate, physiography, surficial material, bedrock geology, soils and vegetation. PEM uses a modeling approach to ecosystem mapping, whereby existing knowledge of ecosystem attributes and relationships are used to predict ecosystem representation in the landscape. PEM modelled polygons can be accessed through the Terrestrial Ecosystem Information (TEI) Data Distribution Packages. Current version: v12 (2026-06-22)
