Appendix A1 Locations of study area, and Northern and Southern Forest Inventory and
Analysis (FIA) Regions, and the locations and names of all ecological sections and divisions.
The extent of our study area, the location of Northern and Southern FIA Regions, and the
locations and names of the two ecological domains encompassing our study region are depicted
in Fig. A1.1. The locations and names of the five ecological divisions within our study area are
provided in Fig. A1.2. The locations and names of the 91 ecological sections within our study
region are provided in Fig. A1.3 and Table A1.2, respectively. Our classification of each subregion follows that of Cleland et al. (1997). An ecological description of ecological sections is
provided by McNab et al. (2007).
