Note
This publication describes and illustrates the map included at the back. The map is on a scale of 1:7,500,000 (1 in = 118 mi) and shows ecosystems of regional extent, or ecoregions, differentiated according to a hierarchical scheme modified from Crowley (1967), and using climate and vegetation as indicators of the extent of each unit. The map was developed to provide up-to-date information for use in ecosystem management and assessments.
