Percentage of Karst Area within Grid Cell
-
Each cell represents the percent of karst within a 20 x 20 kilometer grid cell, a measure of habitat quantity. This attribute can be used to predict presence/absence of particular ecological groups in caves.

Cave Species Richness Hotspots
-
Caves with the most aquatic and terrestrial species. The number of species is highly dependent on sampling intensity, including the number of sampling trips.

-
Carbonate/Non-carbonate Contact Linear Sum
-
Cumulative lengths of contacts between karst and non-karst, measuring both patchiness of available habitat and perhaps dispersal corridors if cave passages are differentially developed along these contacts. This information can be used to predict presence/absence of particular ecological groups in caves.

NatureServe Regions and Karst
-
Three basic regions are identified by NatureServe; Interior Low Plateaus,Central Appalachians, and Cumberland Southern Blue Ridge. These ares are displayed along with karst resources within the Appalachian LCC region.
