. <\/SPAN><\/P>Abstract:<\/SPAN><\/P>This information resource comprises a digital dataset of the boundaries on the 1:500,000 published maps of ecological regions and ecological districts of New Zealand, which are part of McEwen (1987) (refer related resources). Ecological regions and districts are subdivisions of New Zealand into contiguous and discrete areas that have relatively homogenous physical (climate, soil, topography, geology) and biological characteristics (including cultural pattern, i.e. land use). Ecological regions are generally an aggregate of adjacent ecological districts with very closely related characteristics.<\/SPAN><\/P>Update Frequency:<\/SPAN><\/P>As needed.<\/SPAN><\/P>Point of Contact:<\/SPAN><\/P>Waimakariri District Council.<\/SPAN><\/P>Lineage:<\/SPAN><\/P>Data has been produced by Department of Conservation and modified in places based on analysis done by Wildlands Consultants Ltd for the District Plan Review.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>",
