Dewpoint
This map shows the average Dewpoint (temperature at which water vapour condenses to dew, fog, or cloud) throughout the Mackenzie River Basin as of 2003. Dew point temperatures of 10 degrees Celsius or less are considered dry.

Ecozones
This map shows the eight terrestrial Ecozones represented in the Mackenzie River Basin. Canada has a total of fifteen terrestrial ecozones.
An ecozone is an area of the earth’s surface that represents a large ecological zone and has characteristic landforms and climate. Each ecozone is distinguished from others by its unique mosaic of plants, wildlife, climate, landforms, and human activities.
