File CCVA Fact Sheet: Forest and Woodlands
by Rosanne Hessmiller — published Jan 26, 2018
Forest/Woodland habitats describe large areas primarily dominated by trees, with moderate ground coverage, such as grasses and shrubs. Density, tree height, and land use may all vary, though woodland is typically used to describe lower density forests. A forest may have an open canopy, but a woodland must have an open canopy with enough sunlight to reach the ground and limited shade. Predicted climate change will largely impact changes in temperature and moisture availability in forest/ woodlands systems, likely having a cascading effect on a species habitat and increasing stress to many of these species. The Appalachian LCC funded NatureServe to conduct vulnerability assessments on a suite of plants, animals, and habitats within the Appalachians. These assessments can be used as an early warning system to alert resource managers about changing conditions.

File CCVA Fact Sheet: Open Woodlands
by Rosanne Hessmiller — published Jan 26, 2018
Open Woodlands Used generally to describe low density forests, open woodland ecosystems contain widely spaced trees whose crowns do not touch, causing for an open canopy, insignificant midstory canopy layer, sparse understory and where groundcover is the most obvious feature of the landscape dominated by diverse flora (grasses, forbes, sedges). Open Woodlands provide habitat for a diverse mix of wildlife species, several of which are of conservation concern, such as Red Headed Woodpecker, Prairie Warbler, Kentucky Warbler, Northern Bobwhite and Eastern Red Bat. Predicted climate change will largely impact changes in temperature and moisture availability in open woodlands systems, likely having a cascading effect on a species habitat and increasing stress to many of these species. The Appalachian LCC funded NatureServe to conduct vulnerability assessments on a suite of plants, animals, and habitats within the Appalachians. These assessments can be used as an early warning system to alert resource managers about changing conditions.

Prescribed Burn Contractor Database
by Rosanne Hessmiller — published Jan 08, 2023 — last modified Jan 08, 2023 12:06 AM
Many states in the South provide online vendor databases for prescribed burning either on the state forestry agency website, or through the Prescribed Fire Council. On these sites, prescribed burn contractors can add their business to a list where private landowners can then search the database to find a contractor who offers prescribed burning in their area.

SE Fire Mapping Scoping Survey
by Rosanne Hessmiller — published Sep 11, 2020 — last modified Mar 14, 2021 11:52 AM
A thorough scoping process for the SE FireMap project is currently underway, investigating promising remote sensing (RS) products and leading fire tracking systems which may best support the development of this product. To ensure a thorough scoping process, this survey offers a platform for the fire community to share feedback and recommendations directly the project team.
