Abstract
Statewide natural-resource information systems (NRIS) are a relatively new approach to the acquisition and coordination of natural-resource information. New York's Land Use and Natural Resources Inventory, created in 1966, started a slow, although accelerating, move toward comprehensive and integrated collection and use of natural-resource data. NRISs have been developed or are being carefully examined in 32 states. Of the 32, however, only a handful are fully operational.
