Vermont Biophysical Regions

The updated VT's Biophyscial Region Map (Ferree 2008), with 9 regions, replaces the older 8 region version from the VT Biodiversity Project (1998). The new biophysical region is the Champlain Hills, a section split off from the northeastern part of the former (now smaller) Champlain Valley region. The biophysical regions are a key aspect of the Vermont Conservation Design that is displayed in BioFinder. The updated and improved map should be used for all land use and planning puposes.由Ferree于2008年编制的经更新版佛蒙特州（Vermont，VT）生物物理区域地图包含9个分区，替代了1998年佛蒙特州生物多样性项目推出的旧版8分区方案。本次新增的生物物理区域为尚普兰丘陵（Champlain Hills），其从原尚普兰谷区域（现范围已缩减）的东北部划分而来。生物物理区域是BioFinder平台展示的佛蒙特州保护设计的核心构成要素。该经更新优化的地图应被应用于所有土地利用与规划相关工作。
