Excerpt from Description of the Ecoregions of the United StatesPublic land management agencies are increasingly involved in regional and national long-range planning and in efforts to classify all lands according to their capabilities and availability to produce goods and services in a balanced national program. During the past few years, these agencies have generally recognized the need for a comprehensive system for classifying ecosystems as an aid to achieving quality land management.Regional variations in climate, vegetation, and landform are important in the development of ecosystems, and, often, different regions have very different management problems. For this reason, it is important to recognize regional differences at the highest level in the classification. This regionalization facilitates (1) planning at the national level, where it is necessary to study management problems and potential solutions on a regional basis, (2) organization and retrieval of data gathered in a resource inventory, and (3) interpreta tion of inventory data, including differences in indicator plants and animals among regions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
