 Ecological Regions of North America, as presented here, is a view of continental ecological regions that has been developed to enhance the capability of both NGOs and governmental organizations to assess the nature, condition and trends of the major ecosystems in North America. It is offered for use to a wide range of professionals and the general public. The authors also hope that it will be seen as having educational utility, focusing on the sustainability and conservation of resources. By necessity, the notion of resources is broadly interpreted, embracing the traditional ideas of resources (i.e., timber, arable soils, water) but also including the ecosystems of which they are a part.
