Abstract: Bailey's Ecoregions
Purpose:
This multi-tiered, broad-scale, hieracrhical system of ecoregions is based on numerous environmental variables at each level. The first two tiers are based on climate, followed by climate and physiograpghy, and finally topography and soils. This data was used to provide a general description of the ecosystem geography.

Attribute Accuracy Report:
The accuracy of attributes for this theme are dependent on source materials; data were not modified by the ICBEMP beyond re-projection of datasets. Attribute accuracy information for source materials were not collected since acquisition of source data pre-dated FGDC metadata standards.
Logical Consistency Report: Polygon and Arc-node topology exists
Completeness Report: Scale 1:3.5 million, digital data were prepared by the US Geological Survey, and provided to ICBEMP by US Forest Service Land Management Planning Systems office.

Enumerated Domain Value: DRY DOMAIN
Enumerated Domain Value Definition:
The essential feature of a dry climate is that annual losses of water through evaporation at the earth's surface exceed annual water gains from precipitation. Due to the resulting water deficiency, no permanent streams originate in dry climate zones. Because evaporation, which depends chiefly on temperature, varies greatly from one part of the earth to another, no specific value for precipitation can be used as the boundary for all dry climates. For example, 25 in (610 mm) of annual precipitation may produce a humid climate and forest cover in cool northwestern Europe, but the same amount in the hot tropics produces semiarid conditions.
Enumerated Domain Value: HUMID TEMPERATE DOMAIN
Enumerated Domain Value Definition:
The climate of the Humid Temperate Domain, located in the middle latitudes (30 to 60 degrees N), is governed by both tropical and polar air masses. The middle latitudes are subject to cyclones; much of the precipitation in this belt comes from rising moist air along fronts within these cyclones. Pronounced seasons are the rule, with strong annual cycles of temperature and precipitation. The seasonal fluctuation of energy and temperature is greater than the diurnal. Climates of the middle latitudes have a distinctive winter season, which tropical climates do not.
The Humid Temperate Domain contains forests of broadleaf deciduous and needleleaf evergreen trees. The variable importance of winter frost determines six divisions: warm continental, hot continental, subtropical, marine, prairie, and Mediterranean.
Enumerated Domain Value: HUMID TROPICAL DOMAIN
Enumerated Domain Value Definition:
The humid tropical group of climates found at low latitudes is largely controlled by equatorial and tropical air masses. Every month of the year has an average temperature above 64F (18C), and there is no winter season. In these tropical systems, the primary periodic energy flux is diurnal: temperature variation from day to night is greater than from season to season. Average annual rainfall is heavy and exceeds annual evaporation, but varies in amount and in seasonal and areal distribution.
Two types of climates are differentiated on the basis of seasonal distribution of precipitation. The tropical wet (or rainforest) climate has ample rainfall through 10 or more months of the year. The tropical wet-and-dry (or savanna) climate has a dry season more than 2 months long.

First Ave, 4th Floor, Portland, OR 97204 (Internet: c3smith@or.blm.gov). These forms are available from the Project web site or can be requested via e-mail from bgravenmier@fs.fed.us. Please specify requested datasets by placing a checkmark in the space provided on the Available Data List.
Spatial data are released in Unix ARC/INFO export format. ARCVIEW files are made available when applicable. The digital data are provided on 8mm tape unless otherwise specified. Please specify special instructions for export format and tape density on the request form.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Oregon State Office will telephone the requester to advise the cost of requested data. The requested data are mailed to the requester after payment has been received by the BLM.
Cost is based on a manual labor charge of $20.00 per hour (prorated), cost of the tape(s), and size of the map/plot(s). Digital data are provided on 8mm tape (cost $9.00) unless special instructions are specified on the request form. Federal offices are provided the information free of charge.
Technical Prerequisites:
Spatial data are released as both compressed Unix-based archive ARC(.TAR.Z) export files and PC-based executable (.EXE) files. Attribute files are released in dBASE IV (.DBF) format as Unix-based archive (.TAR.Z) files and PC-based (.EXE) files. Additionally, databases are released in both dBase IV and Paradox (.DB) format as .TAR.Z and .EXE files. All files within the archive .TAR.Z files and .EXE files follow the 8.3 naming convention to enable use on the Windows 3.1 operating system.
