NOTES:
   Each subsequent version of the biogeoclimatic subzone variant (BGC) map of British Columbia is a result of refinements to either the mapping or definitions of the BGC units.  The various versions of the BGC map are NOT a result of the BGC units having changed their spatial location over time.
