File Troff document Appalachian LCC 2013 Annual Report
by Matthew Cimitile — published Mar 05, 2014 — last modified Jun 22, 2023 07:24 PM — filed under: ,
As an integral part of the National Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) Network, the Appalachian LCC is transforming the landscape conservation vision into action. The Appalachian LCC has taken great strides this year in serving as the catalyst for a collaborative network, assembling foundational data and information; providing decision support tools and products; supporting outreach, capacity, and enhancing the visibility of conservation actors; and staying relevant and evaluating progress. This report highlights these key achievements taking place across the broader Appalachian region and National LCC Network.

File Troff document Appalachian LCC 2012 Annual Report
by Matthew Cimitile — published Apr 22, 2013 — last modified Sep 02, 2015 08:24 AM — filed under: , , , , , , ,
Landscape conservation is about bringing people, expertise, and resources together across a region to effectively respond to environmental challenges and attempt to create sustainable ecosystems. The Appalachian LCC has built a strong foundation to provide greater support toward landscape conservation that will achieve lasting benefit for the environment, wildlife, natural resources, and the people of the Appalachians.

File Appalachian LCC - First Annual Report 2011
by Matthew Cimitile — published Sep 07, 2012 — last modified Sep 02, 2015 08:23 AM — filed under: , ,
This report details the formation and achievements of the Appalachian LCC in its first year. During this year, the Appalachian LCC set in place the governance and decision-making Interim Steering Committee body, identified partners and partnerships that would be critical to achieving its mission, and made a number of important decisions to set the direction and tone of the partnership. Each of these decisions is leading to progress toward the primary goal of improving the science foundation for conservation work in the Appalachians.

File Troff document Aquatic Ecological Flows Phase 1 Report
by William Fisher, Jason Taylor, Maya Weltman-Fahs — published Oct 07, 2013 — last modified Jun 02, 2025 01:11 PM — filed under: , , ,
The 1st phase of the Aquatic Ecological Flows project involved reviewing existing tools and gathering available data within the project area on hydrologic and ecological flow model(s) that would be suitable for the region. This Report details that work.

File Alternatives for Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment Report to the Appalachian LCC
by Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment Research Team — published Nov 03, 2014 — last modified Aug 31, 2015 12:22 PM — filed under: , ,
How should the Appalachian LCC acquire information about the vulnerability of Appalachian species and habitats to climate change to share with its partners? This report summarizes the findings and recommendations of a seven-member Expert Panel that sought to answer this question identified as a major research priority. The Panel addressed three aspects of the question: the selection of species and habitats to assess, approaches to vulnerability assessment, and the availability of downscaled climate data.

File Troff document Appalachian LCC Data Needs Assessment Final Report
by Trishna Dutta, Robert F Baldwin and Don Lipscomb — published May 20, 2014 — last modified Dec 21, 2015 11:25 AM — filed under: , , , ,
This project was undertaken to evaluate existing datasets for the Appalachian LCC region, package relevant datasets, review of some of the most commonly used conservation planning tools, provide interpretive text and graphics for datasets and tools, and identify data gaps that could improve conservation planning in the Appalachian LCC. Additionally, we reviewed and analyzed State Wildlife Action Plans (SWAP) from 15 states that intersect with the LCC, and corresponded with the SWAP coordinators to get their input on summaries and information on the upcoming 2015 revisions.

File C++ source code An Analysis of State Wildlife Action Plans in the Appalachian LCC
by Rob Baldwin — published Nov 03, 2014 — last modified Dec 21, 2015 11:26 AM — filed under: , ,
In this synthesis, we describe how the information contained in the individual State Wildlife Action Plans and conservation plans by other agencies can be linked together towards identifying opportunities to integrate state and local scale efforts into regional conservation framework for the AppLCC. Specifically, our aim was to quantify the objectivity and efforts across the 15 partner states. We are particularly interested in the commonalities of methodology and results across plans. Throughout the document, we integrate our previous efforts in this data needs assessment to figure out ways that state efforts can be upscaled to meet regional planning goals.

File Development of a Spatially Explicit Surface Coal Mining Predictive Model
by Michael P. Strager, Jacquelyn M. Strager, Wesley Burnett, Aaron E. Maxwell, — published Nov 19, 2014 — last modified Oct 18, 2017 02:32 PM — filed under: , , , , ,
The goal of this project was to create a spatially explicit 1km2 grid cell model for the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative (Figure 1) predicting where surface coal mining is likely to occur in in a projected future time period, under two different scenarios. To accomplish this goal we combined GIS spatial analysis, a Random Forests predictive model, and future mining buildout scenarios. This report provides a detailed methodology of our approach and discussion of our results.

File Riparian Prioritization and Status Assessment for Climate Change Resilience of Coldwater Stream Habitats within the Appalachian and Northeastern Regions
by RPCCR Research Team — published Nov 03, 2014 — last modified Jun 02, 2025 01:11 PM — filed under: , , , ,
Among a host of other critical ecosystem functions, intact riparian forests can help to reduce vulnerability of coldwater stream habitats to warming regional temperatures. Restoring and conserving these forests can therefore be an important part of regional and landscape-scale conservation plans, but managers need science and decision-support tools to help determine when these actions will be most effective. To help fill this need, we developed the Riparian Prioritization for Climate Change Resilience (RPCCR) web-based decision support tool to quickly and easily identify, based on current riparian cover and predicted vulnerability to air temperature warming, sites that are priority candidates for riparian restoration and conservation.

File C++ source code Assessing Future Energy Development across the Appalachian LCC. Final Report
by Judy K. Dunscomb, Jeffrey S. Evans, Jacqueline M. Strager, Michael P. Strager and Joseph M. Kiesecker — published Mar 05, 2015 — last modified Feb 01, 2018 11:02 PM — filed under: , , , , ,
In this study funded by the Appalachian LCC, The Nature Conservancy assessed current and future energy development across the entire region. The research combined multiple layers of data on energy development trends and important natural resource and ecosystem services to give a comprehensive picture of what future energy development could look like in the Appalachians. It also shows where likely energy development areas will intersect with other significant values like intact forests, important streams, and vital ecological services such as drinking water supplies.
