The Literature Gateway by Tab Manager, last updated: Jul 23, 2025 09:59 PM: Forest managers, wildlife conservation groups, policy makers, and other stakeholders often need to review literature on forest bird-vegetation relationships to inform decisions on natural resource management or ecosystem restoration. The literature gateway facilitates the exploration of this literature, helping users find references on a diverse range of management-relevant topics that have been compiled by subject experts based on searches of >60 different sources spanning the past 50+ years.

Bobscapes by Tab Manager, last updated: Jul 23, 2025 07:07 PM: The Bobscapes Mobile App will help researchers better understand population dynamics and help managers direct resources for habitat work to the areas where those investments will be most effective in recovering the species. Additionally, for those interested, the app will connect landowners to technical experts who can make habitat recommendations and share information on voluntary cost share programs. Lastly, the data provided will assist wildlife biologists in creating a national habitat network of “Bobwhite landscapes” necessary to ensure this species persists for future generations!

BirdLocale by Tab Manager, last updated: Jul 23, 2025 07:07 PM: USDA’s Natural Resource Conservation Service has partnered with the University of Georgia, Quail Forever, and state agencies to conduct an extensive study across 25 states of the USA to assess the impacts of management practices on the northern bobwhite population. As part of this project, biologists will be collecting field data like bobwhite counts, and percentage cover of different cover types (grass, shrub, forb, etc.). Apart from these human-collected data, these biologists will also be using Acoustic Recording Units (ARUs) to collect data on bird calls.

Apps, Maps, and Data by Web Editor, last updated: Jul 23, 2025 07:07 PM: Maps, decision support tools, and spatial data relevant to work on Grasslands and Savannas.

DOI Nature-based Solutions Roadmap by Web Editor, last updated: Jul 22, 2025 07:58 PM: The purpose of the Department of the Interior Nature Based Solutions Roadmap is to provide Department of the Interior (DOI) staff with consistent and credible information about nature-based solutions, such as which strategies match certain conditions and goals, what co-benefits they are likely to provide, example projects, and additional resources for project planning, construction, and monitoring.

Background Materials: A Stream Classification System for the Appalachian LCC by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Jul 22, 2025 06:45 PM: River classification information is needed to develop and implement instream flow standards and management recommendations so that environmental flows can become integral to all water management decisions from the onset. This project will develop a hierarchical classification for stream and river systems and a GIS map for aquatic ecosystems within the Appalachian LCC. The classification will identify and consistently map ecologically similar types of rivers and streams using a hierarchical set of geomorphic and hydrologic variables deemed appropriate by independent peer reviews and relevant to the spatial scale of management.

Final Report: A Stream Classification for the Appalachian LCC by Tracy Clark, last updated: Jul 22, 2025 06:31 PM: A classification system and map was developed for stream and river systems in the Appalachian LCC region, encompassing parts of 17 states. The product is intended to complement state-based stream classifications by unifying them into a single consistent system that represents the region’s natural flowing aquatic habitats. The results can be used to understand ecological flow relationships and inform conservation planning for aquatic biodiversity in the region.

Video Update: Aquatic Ecological Flows Research by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Jul 22, 2025 06:27 PM: This presentation from Dr. Todd Walter of Cornell University provides an update to the Steering Committee on this Appalachian LCC funded research project. The Aquatic Ecological Flows project is providing a report assessing availability of hydrologic and ecological flow model(s) suitable for the region, an assessment of available ecological data to inform the ecological flow model(s), the application of the model(s) to anticipate how changes in stream flow will affect environmental conditions, and a report that forecasts changes in hydrology and associated biological responses to critical watersheds from different water resource development scenarios.
