The Designing a Report on the State of the Nation's Ecosystems (1999)  has been superceded by the The State of The Nation's Ecosystems: Measuring the Lands, Waters, and Living Resources of the United States (2002).

We are providing access to the 1999 prototype version of the State of the Nation's Ecosystems because of its historical interest. It has been completely superseded by the 2002 report.

Download the pdf of the 1999 report or go to the 2002 report.
