· Conservation Assessment of the Southeast
Coastal Plain of North Carolina, Using Site-Oriented and Landscape-Oriented
Analyses

March 1999
An analysis of the southern portion of the North Carolina Coastal
Plain done in partnership between NHP, NC GAP, and the NC Museum

of a comprehensive set of native ecosystems. Identification of
information gaps was also an important goal of this project.
