File Fact Sheet: Habitat - Forest/Woodlands
by Tracy Clark — published Mar 19, 2018 — filed under: , , ,
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.

File Fact Sheet: Habitat - Meadows and Marshlands
by Tracy Clark — published Mar 19, 2018 — filed under: , ,
Meadows are open grasslands where grass and other non-woody plants are the primary vegetation. With no tree coverage, meadows are typically open, sunny areas that attract flora and fauna that require both ample space and sunlight. These conditions allow for the growth of many wildflowers and are typically important ecosystems for pollinating insects. Marshlands are like meadows in that they typically have no tree coverage and host primarily grasses and woody plants. However, a defining characteristic of marshlands is their wetland features.

File Fact Sheet: Habitat - Open Woodlands
by Tracy Clark — published Mar 19, 2018 — filed under: ,
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.

File Troff document Fact Sheet: National LCC
by Web Editor — published Mar 02, 2012 — last modified Jun 03, 2025 06:32 PM — filed under: ,
America’s landscapes and the fish, wildlife, plants and cultural heritage they support are increasingly impacted by land use pressures and widespread threats amplified by a rapidly changing climate. These threats are not just impacting isolated places or a single species, but affecting entire landscapes and multiple resources. The ability to effectively plan for and address these threats across landscapes is beyond the ability of any one agency or organization.

File Troff document Fact Sheet: Riparian Restoration Decision Support Tool
by Matthew Cimitile — published Mar 17, 2014 — last modified Jun 02, 2025 01:11 PM — filed under: , , , , , , ,
An innovative web-based tool - funded by the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) and developed by researchers from the U.S. Forest Service and the University of Massachusetts - is allowing managers to rapidly identify high-priority riparian targets for restoration to make more resilient in preparation for changes in future climate. The Riparian Restoration Prioritization to Promote Climate Change Resilience (RPCCR) tool identifies vulnerable stream and riverbanks that lack tree cover and shade in coldwater stream habitats. By locating the best spots to plant trees in riparian zones, resource managers can provide shade that limits the amount of solar radiation heating the water and reduces the impacts from climate change. This well-established management strategy will benefit high-elevation, cold-water aquatic communities.

File text/texmacs Fact Sheet: Science Investments
by Rosanne Hessmiller — published Feb 01, 2018 — last modified Mar 16, 2018 01:22 PM — filed under:
Our work and achievements in 2016 and 2017 built upon the collaborative scientific foundation established in our earlier years, while continuing towards a vision of maintaining a landscape that supports the special biological and cultural resources of the Appalachians.  It’s helpful to reflect on the systematic advances made by our regional partnership in terms of its actions, decisions, and our investments—both in terms of the science but also in terms of strengthening the partnership through investment in shared resources.
