Ecoregions
of Alabama and Georgia, Sheet 1 - Front--Ecoregions
denote areas of general similarity in ecosystems and in the type,
quality, and quantity of environmental resources; they are
designed to serve as a spatial framework for the research,
assessment, management, and monitoring of ecosystems and ecosystem
components. Ecoregions are directly applicable to the immediate
needs of state agencies, including the development of biological
criteria and water quality standards, the establishment of
management goals for nonpoint-source pollution, and integrated
ecosystem management. The approach used to compile this map
is based on the premise that ecological regions can be identified
through the analysis of the patterns of biotic and abiotic
phenomena that reflect differences in ecosystem quality and
integrity. These phenomena include geology, physiography,
vegetation, climate, soils, land use, wildlife, and hydrology. Use
this map, text, and photographs to teach and learn about the
physical geography, flora, fauna, landscape processes, and
ecosystems of Alabama and Georgia.

Poster - Front--Front
of poster that accompanies the online
Exploring Caves lessons. Exploring Caves is an
interdisciplinary set of materials on caves for grades K through
3. Caves entail at least six scientific disciplines: earth
science, hydrology, cartography, geography, biology, and
anthropology. Each of these disciplines involves a unique
content area as well as the development of particular intellectual
skills. This unit aims at helping teachers to sort and organize
the most important ideas in this rich scientific area. Detailed
lesson plans serve as ways to pass these ideas on to very young
students.
