Because landscape patterns and trends are the context for the condition of embedded ecosystems, such information has proven useful for both local and regional assessments.

The information presented in this atlas is intended to help the reader visualize and understand the changing conditions across the region and how the pattern of conditions can be used as a context for community-level situations. This atlas was developed as part of the Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) and is part of a larger, multi-organizational effort to assess environmental condition in the mid-Atlantic region."--From the publisher.
