Ecodistricts are a subdivision of an ecoregion characterized by a distinctive assemblages of relief, landforms, geology, soil, vegetation, water bodies and fauna. For example, the Jeddore Lake ecodistrict (no. 473) is one of five within the Maritime Barrens ecoregion. Ecodistricts are the smallest ecological unit currently mapped by the Canada Ecological Stratification Working Group. The largest ecological unit assigned in Canada (Ecozone) of which each ecodistrict is contained is also included in the attribute table. Further information on assigned ecozone, ecoregion and ecodistrict numbers can be found at (http://sis.agr.gc.ca/cansis/nsdb/ecostrat/intro.html).
