California MLRA Definitions
Major Land Resource Areas (MLRA) are a portion of the spatial framework utilized by the Natural Resources Conservation Service in the planning, design, implementation, and evaluation of natural resource management activities. MLRA boundaries reflect nearly homogenous areas of landuse, elevation, topography, climate, water resources, potential vegetation, and soils.
