This report begins with background on ecosystems, ecological land classification, the National Ecological Framework, and the ecological units used in Nova Scotia. It then describes Nova Scotia within the context of one ecozone (Atlantic maritime), eight ecoregions (maritime lowlands, Fundy coast, south-west uplands, Atlantic coast, Annapolis-Minas lowlands, south-central uplands, highlands, and Cape Breton highlands), and 25 ecodistricts. The ecoregions and ecodistricts are described in terms of climate, vegetation, landforms, soils, wildlife, and land use.
