The Montana Institute on Ecosystems and partners have developed a fact sheet, "What is an Ecosystem," that helps explain concepts related to ecosystem science and climate change. For its research projects, the Montana Institute on Ecosystems has delineated four major Montana ecosystems: the Crown of the Continent, the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the Upper Missouri, and the High Plains Ecosystem.
