Terrain model and Environmental zones
An overview of topographic and regulatory environment
Knowing the topography of your plots is one piece of the puzzle that helps better understand their environmental characteristics. It provides valuable insights that can explain the homogeneity or heterogeneity between plots—and within a single plot.
Environmental data such as catchment areas, nitrate vulnerable zones, MAEC perimeters, and terrain models help identify the constraints and opportunities specific to each plot. They support more informed decision-making by linking environmental regulations and site characteristics to the planning of agricultural practices.
