Synopsis

Preliminary stratification of the Outer Hebrides provides a basis for new surveys, and can be developed from the information held in the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology's Terrestrial Environment Information System. Characterizations of the area by environmental variables at various scales indicate several distinctive stratifications with predictive capabilities and suggest possible topics for future survey and research.
