Summary

This shapefile contains polygons representing the current range of twelve ecosystems in the southeastern U.S. and the Caribbean. These were the focal ecosystems for the research project. The polygons were created by digitizing a representative area that contained each ecosystem's extent, as defined from GAP land cover or NatureServe's National Map land cover data.

Purpose

This shapefile was created for the project "Assessing climate-sensitive ecosystems in the southeastern U.S.", funded by the Department of Interior's Southeast Climate Science Center.The polygons represent twelve focal ecosystems for the project. The polygons were used to extract values in climate and environmental data layers to support vulnerability assessment.
