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 providedin Fig. A1.3 and Table A1.2, respectively. Our classification of each sub-region follows that of Cleland et al.(1997). An ecological description of ecological sections is provided by McNab et al. (2007).
