Land and water area values (in hectares) for terrestrial ecozones of Canada. Land and freshwater bounded by coastline are included. At the top of the hierarchy, it defines the ecological mosaic of Canada on a sub-continental scale. They represent an area of the earth's surface representative of large and very generalized ecological units characterized by interactive and adjusting abiotic and biotic factors.
