Publication Type: Technical Report
Aquatic ecosystems, wetlands and riparian habitats cover a considerable proportion of the boreal forest. These ecosystems are among the richest of the boreal biome. Because they mainly depend on hydrological dynamics and local geomorphology, the maintenance of the biodiversity that they support requires the conservation of the natural flow regime.

Publication Type: Technical Report
Wetlands, aquatics ecosystems, and riparian habitats are particularly important because of their biodiversity, biological productivity, and numerous associated ecological functions. In a conservation network, a representative part of the territory should directly be assigned to those types of ecosystems.
