"The purpose of this profile is to summarize the ecological information available for and relevant to stream and riparian habitats of the Great Basin. The Great Basin comprises the northern half of the Basin and Range physiographic province and covers most of Nevada and western Utah and portions of California, Oregon, and Idaho. The entire basin actually consists of numerous subbasins and mountain ranges which present an extremely diverse physical setting" (p. iii).

Report that "provides a narrative description of projected energy development and describes the biological characteristics of fish and wildlife and their habitats, and gives a critique of potential environmental impacts, and measures of protection and mitigation" (p. iii)

The Data Source Appendix of a report regarding an ecological characterization of coastal Maine, North, and East of Cape Elizabeth

A report regarding a characterization that describes the approximately 4000-mile area of the Maine coast norths and east of Cape Elizabeth. It attempts to clarify the current state of knowledge of this ecosystem by synthesizing and integrating existing biological, physical, and socioeconomic information. It provides information on the natural resources of coastal Maine in an ecological framework designed to guide resource management and coastal planning and to aid in the evaluation of human impacts on the ecosystem.

From foreword: "This report represents the most current methodology available for wetland classification and culminates a long-term effort involving many wetland scientists."
