The habitat guides are organized first by upland or wetland systems, and then by alphabetically by macro-group and habitat name. Click on the macrogroup to see all the habitats that fall under that macrogroup. The structure is as follows:

The terrestrial habitat guides are a companion to the Northeast Terrestrial Habitat Map. They provide users with a compact fact sheet describing each of the mapped habitats, and providing information on the ecology and conservation status of the habitat, including:
- Map of the regional distribution
- Photos of example habitats
- Description, ecological setting, and similar habitat types
- State distribution and acres conserved
- Crosswalks to state classification and state wildlife action plans
- Places to visit this habitat
- Associated wildlife and plants, and species of concern
- Distribution of patch sizes
- Age class distribution
- Predicted loss to development
- Fragmentation/connectivity index
An illustrated, more detailed view of how the guides are organized can be found in the full report.
