Project Promotion of Prescribed Fire
by Web Editor — published May 19, 2014 — last modified Sep 15, 2014 11:02 AM — filed under: , ,
The use of prescribed fire as a habitat management tool is vital for many of the priority birds in the Central Hardwoods Bird Conservation Region. Most species evolved to live in fire-mediated habitats that were common prior to European settlement. Fire suppression in these habitats is considered a significant factor in the declines of many grassland-shrubland bird populations. Promotion and protection of this management practice is important to achieving the CHJV’s population goals for these species.

File RFA 1 - Inventory and review of ecological flow models and monitoring networks with applicability to Appalachian watersheds - Word Doc
by Web Editor — published Mar 01, 2012 — last modified Jul 24, 2012 10:52 AM
Flow models offer a methodology to predict instream flow using a variety of parameters, and are the best tool available to assist resource managers in making scientifically defensible recommendations and setting sound water resource policy.

File RFA 2 - Development of a stream classification system compatible throughout the Appalachian LCC as a platform to study ecological flow issues - Word Doc
by Web Editor — published Mar 01, 2012 — last modified Jul 24, 2012 10:52 AM
In order to support development of instream flow standards, a classification system for Appalachian aquatic ecosystems is needed. A regional river classification system would allow states and other water resource managers to supplement their own limited data for flow-ecology relationships with information from other areas. Several stream habitat classification efforts have been developed (or are under development) in areas partially overlapping the Appalachian LCC, but these are somewhat different from each other, do not cover the entire Appalachian LCC geographic area, and may or may not meet the needs of resource managers in the Appalachians.

File RFA 3 - Forecast future spatial footprint of energy production across the Appalachian LCC region - Word Doc
by Web Editor — published Mar 01, 2012 — last modified Aug 22, 2013 10:47 AM — filed under:
Without a predictive visualization of energy development, the Appalachian LCC cannot make informed decisions on landscape conservation priorities. This project will provide an overview of principal stressors created by energy development, by sector and cumulatively across the Appalachian LCC. The products to be developed will include forecasting model(s), and Geographic Information System (GIS) products to provide a projection of the energy development footprint across the Appalachians LCC by individual sector and cumulative footprint. Deliverables will inform resource management decisions by providing a foundational reference for predicting potential future development as a spatial footprint that can be overlaid with Appalachian LCC targets and priorities.

File RFA 4- Landscape-scale maps of terrestrial habitat and ecosystems based on a common mid-level classification framework for the Appalachian LCC region - Word Doc
by Web Editor — published Mar 01, 2012 — last modified Jul 24, 2012 10:53 AM
Most past and current efforts to predict the geographic distribution of current or potential vegetated communities occur at national and regional scales (e.g., LANDFIRE, Gap Analysis Program, Northeast Terrestrial Habitat Mapping Project) and utilize a combination of remotely sensed imagery and mapped environmental and ecological variables. The resulting products, while comprehensive in coverage of the region, are often at a resolution too coarse or a precision too inaccurate to be utilized at the scale of on-the-ground habitat conservation delivery. Land managers and conservation planners need standardized, consistent, and accurate landscape-scale maps of terrestrial habitat and ecosystems based on a common mid-level classification framework. Managers also need mapping products with units developed at a resolution necessary to take into account or respond predictably to successional dynamics and disturbance regimes. Furthermore, mapping products which additionally identify habitat structural characteristics (e.g., canopy cover, layer stratification) are critical to better understanding habitat condition and determining suitability for specific species.

File ECMAScript program RFA 5 - Survey inventory & distribution mapping of RTEE species across the Appalachian LCC
by Web Editor — published Mar 01, 2012 — last modified Jul 24, 2012 10:54 AM
Species/community management at the large regional scale of the Appalachian LCC requires GIS products that allow for a comprehensive assessment of distribution trends at whole-population levels. Those species that are federally listed under the Endangered Species Act are most likely to have been mapped across their entire range of occurrence, however state-listed species or other rare but priority species may not have been mapped entirely - or this information may not be readily available to all LCC partners. Having georeferenced ranges for our rarest endemic species will allow resource managers to focus conservation efforts, including mitigation projects and seek to divert development interests harmful to these communities. Furthermore, readily accessible comprehensive data will result in enhanced collaboration opportunities.
