	Physiographic Regions of Virginia
		Physiographic region boundaries are based on geology, soil types, and topography.
		Physiographic regions are not based on cultural or biological features - the edges of cities or forests do not define the edges of physiographic provinces.
		Note that the edges of physiographic provinces are not mapped at a detailed scale, such as the 1:24,000 quadrangle maps used by hikers or the 1:400 scale plats used by county assessors for property tax purposes.

	BIODIVERSITY AND PROBABLE ORIGINS OF THE MAYFLIES (EPHEMEROPTERA) OF THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES - NABS99 ...
		The states with the most varied physiographic provinces appear to have higher mayfly diversity than the states that are confined to the Coastal Plain.
		A simple cluster analysis using Unweighted Pair Group Mathematical Averaging (UPGMA) was used to measure the similarities of the mayfly fauna of the various states in the region.
		The high diversity of the mayfly fauna of the Southeastern United States appears related to the geologic history, climatic conditions, and varied physiographic provinces of the region.
