Subject: New Terrestrial Ecosystems Map
Hello,
According to a USGS press release, the Geological Survey has released a new map of Terrestrial Ecosystems of the Conterminous US:
"A new map of standardized, terrestrial ecosystems of the conterminous United States will help researchers and land resource managers better understand the types and locations of ecosystems on the landscape. The map, along with the methodology and process for producing it, are described in the recently published USGS Professional Paper 1768, A New Map of Standardized Terrestrial Ecosystems of the Conterminous United States."
The data (which can be downloaded) and an interactive map viewer is available at: http://rmgsc.cr.usgs.gov/ecosystems/dataviewer.shtml
