- Adapting conservation to a changing climate: an update to the Illinois Wildlife Action Plan — by Jeff Walk, Sarah Hagen, and Aaron Lange — last modified Dec 17, 2015 12:15 PM
- Full report of methods and results of climate change vulnerability assessments of 162 species in greatest conservation need.
- Assessing the Potential Effects of Climate Change on Species in the Cumberland Piedmont Network of the National Park Service — by Web Editor — last modified Dec 17, 2015 12:12 PM
- In this study, we evaluate the climate change vulnerability of a subset of key species found in the Cumberland Piedmont Network (CUPN) of the National Park Service (NPS), an ecologically important and diverse region. We developed a list of species of conservation concern (globally and sub-nationally) within each of the fourteen NPS units in the CUPN. Next, we employed NatureServe’s Climate Change Vulnerability Index (CCVI) in order to determine which of those species may be most vulnerable to climate change, based on each species’ 1) direct exposure to climate change, 2) indirect exposure to climate change, 3) sensitivity, and 4) documented/ modeled response to climate change. CCVI results showed a range of vulnerability scores among taxonomic groups, including high vulnerability for mollusks and low vulnerability for migrant songbirds. Furthermore, we found that species of conservation concern were not necessarily those most vulnerable to climate change.
- South-Central Interior Small Stream and Riparian Habitat — by Lesley Sneddon — last modified Dec 17, 2015 11:55 AM
- This habitat was assessed in both the Cumberland - Southern Appalachian subregion and the Interior Low Plateau subregion. Results are in the first two tabs of the spreadsheet. A description of the habitat, and a list of associated species, is included in the description tab. The remaining tabs describe the individual factors and their definitions. These results are in the review stage. Please send comments to lesley_sneddon@natureserve.org.
- Core Team Meeting Notes, 10-01-2015 — by mmallek — last modified Dec 02, 2015 02:29 PM
- Notes/summary from October 2015 Core Team Meeting
- Video Update: Stream Classification Research — by Matthew Cimitile — last modified Dec 01, 2015 02:03 AM
- This video presentation from Mark Anderson and Arlene Olivero Sheldon of The Nature Conservancy provides an update to the Steering Committee on this Appalachian LCC funded research project. A Stream Classification System for the Appalachian LCC is developing a hierarchical classification for stream and river systems and a GIS map for aquatic ecosystems. The study will include a report describing the methods used to evaluate and develop the classification system, a literature review of existing stream classifications, and a GIS stream data set.
- Video Update: Climate Change Vulnerability Research — by Matthew Cimitile — last modified Dec 01, 2015 02:03 AM
- This presentation from Lesley Sneddon of NatureServe provides an update to the Steering Committee on this Appalachian LCC funded research project. Research is compiling climate change vulnerability assessments and other relevant information on vulnerable species and habitats, discerning the various methodologies and criteria used in these assessments, and using a team of expert peer reviewers to recommend the most efficient, effective, and appropriate methods for adoption by the Appalachian LCC for conservation and adaptation planning. The recommended method will then be deployed, resulting in vulnerability assessments for a suite of key species/habitats selected in consultation with partners of the Appalachian LCC.
- Instructions – Central Appalachian Spreadsheet — by Web Editor — last modified Dec 01, 2015 02:03 AM
- This spreadsheet is a subset of a larger data set that contains a compilation of climate change vulnerability scores for over 700 species in the Appalachian LCC.
- Vulnerability of at-risk species to climate change in New York — by Matthew Schlesinger, Jeffrey Corser, Kelly Perkins, and Erin White — last modified Dec 01, 2015 02:03 AM
- This report provides the methods and results of climate change vulnerability assessments of 119 species in New York.
- Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment of Species of Concern in West Virginia — by Elizabeth Byers, Sam Norris — last modified Dec 01, 2015 02:03 AM
