Figure 7. Number of ecological systems occurring only within each protection status by Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC).
Ecological systems included occur only within the specified protection status [23], [24]. The total number of ecological systems within each LCC is shown parenthetically. For example, the Great Plains LCC contains 102 ecological systems with 18 occurring only on lands with no permanent protection and none occurring on lands managed to maintain biodiversity or for multiple-use. See Table 1 for protection status descriptions. Only non-modified, non-aquatic ecological systems are included (nā=ā518; Table S1).
