• What are Landscape Features? The primary organizational units for this action plan are 'landscape features,' which are broadly defined as 'components of the overall landscape used by wildlife, differentiated by vegetative, geologic, hydrologic, and structural elements, which may occur at various scales.'
• Introduction to Landscape Feature (Habitat) Summaries The landscape feature summaries provide detailed information on the landscape features found in each of the four terrestrial ecoregions and the four Great Lakes basins. Each landscape feature summary identifies the locations in which the landscape feature occurs, associated SGCN, significant threats to the landscape feature, associated natural communities, and recommended conservation actions, research, surveys and monitoring.
