They are general purpose regions that are useful for structuring and implementing ecosystem management strategies across political boundaries such as state lines and across agencies Omernik and others, Ecoregions stratify the environment according to its probable response to disturbance, and recognize the spatial differences in the capacities and potentials of ecosystems Bryce, Omernik, and Larsen, Ecoregion frameworks are useful for 1 inventorying and assessing national and regional environmental resources, 2 setting regional resource management goals, 3 establishing geographical research frameworks, and 4 developing regional biological criteria and water quality standards Arkansas Department of Pollution Control and Ecology, ; Bazata, ; Environment Canada, ; Gallant and others, ; Heiskary and Wilson, ; Hughes, b; Hughes and others, , , ; Larsen and others, ; Lyons, ; Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, ; Plotnikoff, ; Rohm and others, ; U.

Ecoregion frameworks have been developed for several countries, including the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and the Netherlands Bailey, , , ; Bailey and others, , ; Biggs and others, ; Ecological Stratification Working Group, ; Klijn, ; Omernik, , a; Omernik and Gallant, ; U.

Environmental Protection Agency, ; Wiken, The first compilation of ecoregions in the conterminous United States by the U. Environmental Protection Agency U. EPA was performed at a relatively cursory scale ,, , and was published at a smaller scale ,, Omernik, Subsequently, this ecoregion framework was expanded to include Alaska and all of North America, revised, and made hierarchical Gallant and others, ; Omernik, b; U.

Environmental Protection Agency, Level I is the coarsest level in the ecoregion hierarchy; it divides North America into 15 ecological regions. Level II divides the continent into 50 regions. The exact number of ecological regions at each hierarchical level is still changing slightly as the framework undergoes development at the international, national, and state levels.

These level IV ecoregion projects have involved state agencies, U. EPA regional offices, and the U. Projects have included participation by the U. Department of Agriculture—Forest Service as part of an interagency effort to develop a common framework of ecological regions. In this paper we refine the level III ecoregions of New Jersey, subdivide them into more detailed level IV subdivisions, and provide descriptions for each ecoregion in the state.

The procedures used to define New Jersey ecoregions are consistent with those that were used in preceding U. They are based on the premise that ecological regions can be identified through the analysis of biotic and abiotic characteristics that affect or reflect differences in ecosystem quality and integrity Omernik, , a; Wiken, Spatial pattern, composition, and spatial correspondence of physiography, natural vegetation, soil, surficial and bedrock geology, climate, land use, land cover, wildlife, and fish were considered as part of the process.

The relative importance of each biotic and abiotic characteristic varied from one ecological region to another regardless of the ecoregion hierarchical level. Expert judgment was employed throughout the selection, analysis, and classification of data to define the ecoregions. Information from the literature and input from state and regional experts were very important to this project, as well as the earlier ones in neighboring states.

Ecoregion lines were compiled at ,scale onto ,scale topographic base maps. More detailed explanations about the methods, materials, rationale, and philosophy for the ecoregionalization process can be found in Gallant and others , Omernik a , and Omernik and Gallant Evaluation of the ecoregion framework presented in this paper is a necessary future step. A better tool would be a more encompassing index of ecological integrity IEI Omernik, a, b ; although an IEI is not available yet, there is considerable interest in at least two states to begin its development.

Verification of ecoregions cannot be done by considering individual ecosystem components; this is because the ecoregion framework was not intended to show regional patterns specific to either the flora or fauna of terrestrial ecosystems, nor was it intended to reflect distributions of fish or aquatic macroinvertebrates. Bailey, R. The Root Parcel ID e. The Viewer also displays abbreviated Parcel IDs in which leading zeros or spaces are removed.

Examples include the parcel number search results that consist of the District-Map-Parcel e. Presently the Viewer does not display property assessment information for multiple cards of a unique parcel. Nor does the Viewer always correctly display stacked GIS parcel geometries representing multiple floors or levels. The Viewer only displays surface parcels and not mineral parcels. Mineral tax maps and parcels are available for select counties. The Viewer displays the yeaf effective flood hazard areas.

It also includes high-risk Advisory A and Updated AE flood zones based on better topographic data and stream flood models. For more information about flood zone determinations, refer to the WV Flood Tool. The WV Flood Tool also has contact information for the local and state floodplain managers.

Contact your local E addressing office if your street address is not correct. Deeded Acreage : The official acreage listed in the deed which is the historic record of conveyance for property ownership and the primary legal record defining the property and its boundaries.

Calculated Acreage : Derived from using mapping software or geographic information systems GIS to calculate the area or acreage of the geometry of a digital parcel. A calculated acreage provides a general estimate only. It is not the legally recognized acreage and should not be used for assessment purposes.

The deeded acreage is the authoritative source for tax assessment purposes in West Virginia. Paragraph 7. If there is a large discrepancy between the deeded and calculated acreages, then contact the assessor.

A legal deed or certified survey records the dimensions or number of acres of real property. Typically, this information is recorded in the legal description of the property.
