Important Migratory Landbird Stopover Sites by abstract, last updated: Jun 15, 2020 12:32 PM
From warblers to hummingbirds to orioles, dozens of species of landbirds pass through the Northeastern United States during their annual migrations between breeding grounds in the United States and Canada to wintering grounds as far south as South America. In order to survive these long journeys, they need to be able to find areas to stop, rest, and replenish their energy along the way. Based on weather surveillance data and field surveys, this report and accompanying spatial data identify stopover sites across the region that are important for sustaining migratory landbird populations, offering guidance for resource managers to focus conservation efforts.
Thresholds Table for Coastal Species and Habitats by abstract, last updated: Jun 15, 2020 12:04 PM
Synthesizing sea-level rise and storm-threshold data for 44 fish, wildlife, and plant species of conservation concern, as well as for four coastal habitats, the new species threshold table for the multi-LCC coastal resilience project contains a wealth of information formatted into an easy-to-use spreadsheet to give stakeholders insight on decisions and tradeoffs regarding the management of coastal resources.
Vernal Pool Mapper and Database by abstract, last updated: Jun 15, 2020 10:37 AM
Temporary wetlands called vernal pools provide important breeding grounds for reptiles and amphibians, but their seasonal nature can make them both difficult to find and to protect. The vernal pool mapper is now available to guide conservation of this important habitat. Based on a database of field-verified and remotely-sensed potential vernal pool locations compiled from across the Northeast, it can help identify priority areas for conservation and inform future surveys.
Coastal Update to the National Wetlands Inventory by abstract, last updated: Jun 15, 2020 10:21 AM
This project completed a rapid update for wetland mapping in 162 coastal areas (1:24,000 topographic quadrangles in ME, MD, MA, NJ, NY, PA, and VA) that were last updated prior to 2000. The updates, which were incorporated into the National Wetland Inventory, have many applications in conservation analysis and coastal planning, including the Designing Sustainable Landscapes project (also funded by the North Atlantic LCC).
Sea-Level Rise Impacts on Piping Plovers at Assateague Island, Virginia and Maryland by abstract, last updated: Jun 15, 2020 10:11 AM
This collaborative project provided biologists and managers along the Atlantic coast with tools to predict effects of accelerating sea-level rise on the distribution of piping plover breeding habitat, test those predictions, and feed results back into the modeling framework to improve predictive capabilities. Immediate model results will be used to inform a coast-wide assessment of threats from sea-level rise and related habitat conservation recommendations that can be implemented by land managers and inform recommendations to regulators. Case studies incorporating resilience of piping plover habitat into management plans for specific locations demonstrate potential applications.
Identifying Important Migratory Landbird Stopover Sites in the Northeast by abstract, last updated: Jun 15, 2020 10:00 AM
Dozens of species of landbirds, such as warblers, hummingbirds, and orioles, migrate through the Northeastern United States from their summer breeding grounds in the U.S. and Canada to their nonbreeding grounds as far south as South America. During the migration period, birds must find habitat where they can stop, rest and replenish their energy reserves. Conservation efforts are increasingly focused on identifying stopover sites that are important for sustaining migratory landbird populations. This project built upon prior work by the University of Delaware and USGS to use weather surveillance data and field surveys to map and predict important migratory bird stopover sites.
Marine Bird Mapping and Assessment by abstract, last updated: Jun 15, 2020 09:55 AM
With the growing interest in offshore energy development along the eastern seaboard, it is increasingly important to determine the associated risks for the bird species that rely on this habitat. Although many efforts have been made to identify important habitat areas for marine birds, each focused on a different geography, and followed different protocols. Using an innovative modeling approach to synthesize historic data on 24 species of marine birds, this report and accompanying maps offer new insight for researchers and marine spatial planners about how these species use offshore waters.
Marine Bird Mapping and Assessment by abstract, last updated: Jun 15, 2020 09:55 AM
This project developed a series of maps depicting the distribution and probability of occurrence of marine birds in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean. The maps are intended to be used for informing decisions about siting offshore facilities; marine spatial planning; and other uses requiring maps of seabird distributions.
Standardization of Terrestrial and Wetland Habitat Classification and Mapping by abstract, last updated: Jun 15, 2020 09:48 AM
The overall goal of this project was to compare maps and classification systems from various producers to identify opportunities for consolidating the strongest qualities in each mapping system in support of a long-term goal of a ‘best map’ for the Northeastern and Midwestern U.S.
Standardization of Terrestrial and Wetland Habitat Classification and Mapping by abstract, last updated: Jun 15, 2020 09:48 AM
This project, sponsored by the Northeast Climate Science Center, facilitated coordination among the scientific community to assess existing habitat classification and mapping products within the Northeastern and Midwest United States.
Extending the Northeast Terrestrial Habitat Map to Atlantic Canada by abstract, last updated: Jun 15, 2020 09:43 AM
This project developed a comprehensive terrestrial habitat map for the entire extent of the North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative (NALCC) region by extending the Northeast Terrestrial Habitat Map to Atlantic Canada and southern Quebec. The completed version was released on September 10, 2015.
Virginia Piedmont and Coastal Plain Updates to Northeast Habitat Map by abstract, last updated: Jun 15, 2020 09:26 AM
This project updated the Northeast Terrestrial Habitat Map by remapping the Virginia coastal plain and piedmont. (The previous version adopted the Southeast GAP map for these regions.) This resulted in a map that is fully consistent across the 13 state Northeast region (Maine to Virginia and West Virginia).
Decision Support Tool to Assess Aquatic Habitats and Threats in North Atlantic Watersheds and Estuaries by abstract, last updated: Jun 15, 2020 09:06 AM
Through a stakeholder-driven process, the project team developed a multi-criteria decision support tool to allow resource managers to visualize and manipulate information on aquatic habitats and threats to prioritize areas for conservation action.

White Mountains to Moosehead Lake Initiative by abstract, last updated: Jun 12, 2020 03:46 PM
The purpose of this demonstration project was to show how North Atlantic LCC science products can be used to inform conservation for a Northeast habitat and resilience "hotspot." The Trust for Public Land integrated LCC and other science products into a clearinghouse and analysis tool for parcel-level conservation planning in the 2.7 million acre White Mountains to Moosehead Lake region of Maine and New Hampshire.
North Atlantic LCC Demonstration Project: Marsh Migration by abstract, last updated: Jun 12, 2020 03:41 PM
Coastal marshes serve a variety of important functions including flood control, spawning/rearing areas for marine life, and critical habitat for many bird species of conservation concern. The focus of this project was to facilitate local actions in Maine to accommodate the needs of coastal marshes to migrate landward in response to rising sea levels.
Application of the Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standards (CMECS) to the Northeast by abstract, last updated: Jun 12, 2020 11:59 AM
This project integrated NOAA and NatureServe's Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS) and the Nature Conservancy and NatureServe's Northeast Regional Habitat Classification System (NRHCS) in order to extend the latter system to estuarine and marine environments from Maine to Virginia. State, academic, and non-profit partners collaborated to identify and cross-walk existing state marine classification systems. The project examined the scalability of this classification by conducting pilot mapping projects at three different scales relevant to planning and conservation efforts.
Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standards (CMECS) pilot studies by abstract, last updated: Jun 12, 2020 11:58 AM
The Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS) provides a comprehensive national framework for organizing information about coasts, oceans, and their living systems. But when integrating these data across different scales, is anything lost in translation? This report uses three pilot projects to assess how well the framework functions for classifying estuarine and marine environments at different scales.
