Abstract
Climate is a primary criterion for the development, description and validation of subregional levels of the National Hierarchical Framework of Ecological Units. However, climate information is not currently available in the form or level of detail required for integration with other biophysical factors at the section or subsection levels. In this study, historical climate data from 640 observing sites in the northeastern United States and Canada are used to delineate climatic zones with sufficient detail to be incorporated into subsection levels of the National Hierarchical Framework of Ecological Units.
