Climate Connections: Questions from North and South Carolina
by Web Editor — published Mar 30, 2012 — filed under: ,
America has questions about climate change, and the USGS has real answers. In this episode of Climate Connections, USGS scientists answer questions gathered from North and South Carolina.

Climate Impacts on Bird and Plant Communities From Altered Animal – Plant Interactions
by Web Editor — published Mar 25, 2012 — last modified Sep 06, 2012 04:48 PM — filed under:
The contribution of climate change to declining populations of organisms remains a question of outstanding concern. Much attention to declining populations has focused on how changing climate drives phenological mismatches between animals and their food. Effects of climate on plant communities may provide an alternative, but particularly powerful, influence on animal populations because plants provide their habitats. Here, we show that abundances of deciduous trees and associated songbirds have declined with decreasing snowfall over 22 years of study in Montane, Arizona, USA.

File ECMAScript program Collision Course? Researchers Tag Golden Eagles with Satellite Telemetry Devices, Track Migration To Assess Risks of Wind Energy Development in Pennsylvania
by Web Editor — published Feb 29, 2012 — last modified Aug 22, 2013 10:54 AM — filed under:
Twice yearly, above the Appalachian Mountains in central and western Pennsylvania, a rarely witnessed winged migration takes place. Hundreds of eastern golden eagles – majestic raptors with wingspans that can exceed seven feet -- traverse the state to their winter and summer territories, passing above the mountain ridges through what preliminary research shows to be an unchanging 30-60 mile wide corridor of air space. The eagles’ flight path overlaps with land areas that hold significant potential for wind power development in Pennsylvania, setting these majestic birds on a potential collision course with fast-moving turbine blades. In the hope of avoiding such a scenario, a team of researchers at the National Aviary and Powdermill Avian Research Center, the biological research station of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, has come together to track and map the birds’ movements.

Project Communicating and Using Uncertain Scientific Information in the Production of ‘Actionable Science’
by Web Editor — published Dec 16, 2013 — last modified Jun 04, 2015 03:54 PM
Conservation practitioners must navigate many challenges to advance effective natural-resource management in the presence of multiple uncertainties. Numerous climatic and ecological changes remain on the horizon, and their eventual consequences are not completely understood. Even so, their influences are expected to impact important resources and the people that depend on them across local, regional, and sometimes global scales. Although forecasts of future conditions are almost always imperfect, decision makers are increasingly expected to communicate and use uncertain information when making policy choices that affect multiple user groups. The degree to which management objectives are met can depend on 1) how critical uncertainties are identified and accounted for, and 2) effective communication among user groups, scientists, and resource managers.

Project ECMAScript program Connectivity for Climate Change in the Southeastern United States
by Web Editor — published Dec 16, 2013 — last modified Jun 04, 2015 03:56 PM
Climate change is already affecting biodiversity, changing the dates when birds arrive to breed and when flowers bloom in spring, and shifting the ranges of species as they move to cooler places. One problem for wildlife as their ranges shift is that their path is often impeded – their habitats have become fragmented by agriculture and urbanization, presenting barriers to their migration. Because of this, the most common recommended strategy to protect wildlife as climate changes is to connect their habitats, providing them safe passage. There are great challenges to implementing this strategy in the southeastern U.S., however, because most intervening lands between habitat patches are held in private ownership. We will combine data on key wildlife species and their habitats throughout the southeastern U.S. with new computer modeling technologies that allow us to identify key connections that will be robust to regional and global changes in climate and land use.

Conservation Adaptation Strategy
by Web Editor — published Feb 18, 2012 — last modified Mar 04, 2022 11:27 PM
The Conservation Adaptation Strategy webinar provides a directional overview of Landscape Conservation Cooperatives in the Southeast, underscores the importance of calibrating science – the “For What” factor, and acknowledges critical steps being taken to ensure the emergence of a (Inter)National Network of LCCs.

Video Conservation Planning Process
by Web Editor — published Nov 13, 2013 — last modified Mar 04, 2022 04:23 PM — filed under: , , , ,
Conservation planning identifies and prioritizes lands that encompass important natural or cultural resources across the landscape (e.g., critical watersheds, habitat for rare or threatened species) and develops protection and management strategies for these lands. It is a process where science is at the core of planning, but the science is informed by groups of stakeholders using their on-the-ground knowledge and expertise. Dr. Robert Baldwin of Clemson University explains in this video the steps involved in the conservation planning process.
