| Note. Some sites have boundaries mapped in digital format; for this analysis sites without boundary data were represented by circles proportional to site area plotted around centroid coordinates. The analysis involved measuring distance from the edge of the site to the nearest international border. Sites represented by circles may in fact be more or less distant from the border, depending on their actual shapes. The left-most column includes standard ISO country codes. Sites are listed in order of decreasing size. | ||||||
