Excerpt from Description of the Ecoregions of the United States Public land management agencies are increasingly involved in regional and national long-range planning and in efforts to classify all lands according to their capabilities and availability to produce goods and services in a balanced national program. During the past few years, these agencies have generally recognized the need for a comprehensive system for classifying ecosystems as an aid to achieving quality land management. Regional variations in climate, vegetation, and landform are important in the development of ecosystems; and, often, different regions have very different management problems. For this reason, it is important to recognize regional differences at the highest level in the classification. This regionalization facilitates (1) planning at the national level, where it is necessary to study management problems and potential solutions on a regional basis; (2) organization and retrieval of data gathered in a resource inventory; and (3) interpreta tion of inventory data, including differences in indicator plants and animals among regions.

Excerpt from Forest Resources of Northern Utah Ecoregions Ecoregions as classified and mapped by Bailey (1995) are made up of domains, divisions, and provinces. Smaller subdivisions are considered subregions. Divisions that occur in Utah are illustrated in figure 2. Ecoregion boundaries transcend political boundaries such as county and State, how ever the summaries in this report represent only those portions of the ecoregions and subregions that occur within the northern portion of the State. Information from southern Utah and surrounding States will be incorporated as it becomes available for more complete ecoregion summaries.

Excerpt from North America This book differs in perspective from the previous books of the series. In a group of geographical monographs rather than gazetteer articles it has been felt better to leave each author free to select his own method and to state whatever political conclusions his studies or his national standpoint might suggest.

Excerpt from Natural Resources of the United States The territory Of the United States, exclusive of Alaska, may be characterized as a land with a sunny exposure, as the belt of the continent thus occupied, and which extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific greets the sun by facing the south. Under laws in stituted by the Creator, and which govern the air when in motion, the winds near the surface of the earth, being colder and heavier, when not interrupted, ﬂow from the north toward the south, where, becom ing warmer, and in consequence lighter, they float upward, thus producing a partial vacuum, and keep continuously restoring the equilibrium by returning, in the higher regions Of the atmosphere, from the south toward the north. This circulation of the air secures to the people Of the United States the blessings of a climate having, it is true, a varied temperature, but graduated in such manner as to invigorate the human constitution. NO such movement of the winds could occur uniformly in an east and west direction round the globe, since on the same parallels Of lati2 Natural Resources of t/ie Unitea' States.

Excerpt from Alaska Its History, Climate Natural Resources The brief history of the discovery and occupa tion of Alaska byxthe Russians, which I have inr corporate'd in this work, has been compiled largely from the records of the russian-ameri can Company, as translated for me by Mr.' George Kostrometinoff. That part relating to the purchase of the country by the United States are matters of Congressional record, which the reader can easily verify by referring to the de bates had in the Senate and House of Represent atives, 1867 8. The remainder, and by far the larger part of the volume, is based upon personal observation and research, made during an official residence of severalyears in the Territory, during which time I personally visited all the different sections referred to for the special purpose of in vestigation and report. Concerning my estimate of the natural resources of these different sec tions, I am wholly content to await the confirma tion that certainly lies withinthe near future. F.
