<PRE ID="original">The ecological-integrity layer was created as part of the New Jersey Pinelands Commission ecological-integrity assessment (Zampella et al. 2008).  An ecological-integrity score was determined for every 10×10-m Pinelands-habitat cell in the Pinelands Area.  Each ecological-integrity score represents an average of the landscape-, aquatic-, and wetland-drainage-integrity scores.  This raster layer contains non-habitat cells and the ecological-integrity scores for habitat cells in the Pinelands Area.
