File Appalachian LCC Conservation Design: Phase 1
by Paul Leonard and Rob Baldwin — published Jul 23, 2015 — filed under: ,
An overview of how this research developed a process of selecting priority resources by using LCC technical input to build a group of candidate priority resources and include them in a spatial modeling process to produce a draft landscape‐scale conservation design; identified additional priority resources to include in future iterations of the conservation design; and built and acquired datasets, derived data modeling strategies needed to achieve first two objectives.

Project C++ source code Interactive Conservation Planning for the Appalachian LCC
by Matthew Cimitile — published Dec 12, 2014 — last modified May 13, 2025 10:35 PM — filed under: , , ,
The Appalachian LCC is currently engaged in an effort to develop a draft regional conservation plan for the Cooperative using an interactive and iterative spatial prioritization framework. Using available data and modeling approaches that are well supported in the literature, researchers from Clemson University are developing conservation planning models that include site selection, ecological threat assessments, and broad ranging habitat and ecological connectivity analyses.

Floodplain Prioritization Tool
by admin — published Mar 26, 2021 — last modified Mar 31, 2021 11:23 AM — filed under: , , , , , , ,
The Floodplain Prioritization Tool helps decision-makers identify critical opportunities for floodplain protection and restoration in the Mississippi River Basin. It is an interactive, web-based mapping tool. Users can prioritize different criteria (e.g., water quality, wildlife habitat, and human exposure to flooding) on the map to see where floodplain restoration and conservation is likely to have the greatest impact. Developed by The Nature Conservancy and partners.

File Energy Assessment News Release
by Matthew Cimitile — published Mar 05, 2015 — last modified Mar 05, 2015 10:44 AM — filed under: , , , ,
A new study and online mapping tool by the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) and The Nature Conservancy are intended to inform discussions among conservation agencies and organizations, industry, policy makers, regulators and the public on how to protect essential natural resources while realizing the benefits of increased domestic energy production.

File Conservation Strategy for Imperiled Aquatic Species in the UTRB
by Jessica Rhodes — published Feb 14, 2015 — last modified Jan 12, 2016 10:47 AM — filed under: , , , , , , ,
The Strategy provides guidance to Field Offices in reevaluating current ("status quo") conservation approaches in order to deliver the most cost effective approach toward the conservation and management of imperiled freshwater fish and mussel species in the Upper Tennessee River Basin.

File Conservation in the face of climate change: The roles of alternative models, monitoring, and adaptation in confronting and reducing uncertainty
by Jessica Rhodes — published Jun 22, 2015 — filed under: , , , ,
The broad physical and biological principles behind climate change and its potential large scale ecological impacts on biota are fairly well understood, although likely responses of biotic communities at fine spatio-temporal scales are not, limiting the ability of conservation programs to respond effectively to climate change outside the range of human experience. Much of the climate debate has focused on attempts to resolve key uncertainties in a hypothesis-testing framework. However, conservation decisions cannot await resolution of these scientific issues and instead must proceed in the face of uncertainty. We suggest that conservation should precede in an adaptive management framework, in which decisions are guided by predictions under multiple, plausible hypotheses about climate impacts. Under this plan, monitoring is used to evaluate the response of the system to climate drivers, and management actions (perhaps experimental) are used to confront testable predictions with data, in turn providing feedback for future decision making. We illustrate these principles with the problem of mitigating the effects of climate change on terrestrial bird communities in the southern Appalachian Mountains, USA.
