Abstract
⺠We propose a new model for mapping British Columbia's (BC) terrestrial ecosystems. ⺠Ecosystem features are derived from remotely sensed imagery and terrain indices. ⺠We cluster data to delineate ecosystems and confirm uniqueness statistically. ⺠Regions of low topographic relief are comparable to BC's biogeoclimatic zones. ⺠Our approach contributes a cost effective and repeatable biomodelling product.
