Fact Sheet: Assessing Vulnerability of Species and Habitats
New vulnerability assessments for 41 species and 3 habitats in the Appalachians now available.
Fact Sheet: Stream Classification
Developing consistent region-wide information to ensure enough water for people and wildlife.
Fact Sheet: Cave and Karst Resources
Addressing knowledge gaps to better protect unique landforms and their wealth of hidden biodiversity.

Wheeler NWR Partners Meeting
The Appalachian LCC, partnered with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service of Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge, to provide an opportunity to introduce Alabama partners to the LCC and their recently developed decision-support products.
SC Meeting, August 24-25, 2016
This meeting marked the LCCs transition from its 1st “development” phase (2012-2016) to a new “delivery” phase. We are soliciting partner input regarding how best to deliver the science to the partners. The Appalachian LCC is currently proposing to work through partner networks in focal areas to get the science integrated into on-the-ground conservation.
Fact Sheet: Online Resources to Inform Natural Resource Management
Research from the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) and the U.S. Forest Service is integrating society’s value of ecosystems with future risks, to inform natural resource planning and management across the Appalachians and help decision makers, industry and the public adopt policies that protect and invest in these resources.

Riparian Restoration Decision Support Tool Fact Sheet
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.
