Terrestrial ecoregions of North America: a conservation assessment
Abstract
A comprehensive assessment of biodiversity in the US and Canada. The authors, scientists with the World Wildlife Fund, use a rigorous ecoregion approach, rather than the less relevant state-by-state approach. Six chapters present the rationale for the approach, defining the ecoregions and analyzing the threats to each. From this the authors develop a conservation agenda and set out recommendations for preserving and restoring biodiversity to the continent. Thirteen colour maps provide essential information about each ecoregion and its biodiversity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
