Ontario Growth and Yield data

Data restricted

This data is not and will not be made available. The data was reviewed and cannot be released to the public because of reasons outlined by the Digital and Data Directive.

Restriction: Security - The data referenced here contains sensitive information: 1. Species at risk data and their location information 2. Location of plots on partner land, private land and potentially first nation reserves 3. Location of non-protected plots that should be protected for monitoring purposes. Making these openly accessible to the public could expose them to targeted disturbance and therefore bias monitoring data. Data can be provided on request under a sensitive data licence agreement for research and development of forest growth and yield predictive tools.

The Growth and Yield Program maintains a network of thousands of permanent plots. The plots are used for recurring data collection on forest:

  • growth
  • productivity
  • dynamics.

The Growth and Yield data are collected from plots located:

  • in targeted forest conditions on Crown forests (Managed Forests)
  • outside of Crown forests.

We use the data to develop prediction tools and models needed for forest management planning and operations.
