I heard from a biologist neighbor that seed catalogues have moved
their ecosystem regions northwards, presumably as a consequece of
global warming. Does anyone know who is responsible for determining
the ecosystem boundaries that are widely used in ecosystems textbooks,
and presumably in agricultural policy in the USA?
