Aquatic Ecological Flows Phase 1 Report by William Fisher, Jason Taylor, Maya Weltman-Fahs, last updated: Jun 02, 2025 01:11 PM
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.

Stream Impacts from Water Withdrawals in the Marcellus Shale Region by Web Editor, last updated: Jun 02, 2025 01:11 PM
The Appalachian LCC provided a grant to Cornell University Environmental Engineers to study how the region’s surface freshwater supply – and the health of natural systems delivering this resource – have been impacted and may be altered in the coming years under increasing water withdrawals.
Interior Low Plateau subregion climate change vulnerability species assessments by Lesley Sneddon, last updated: Jun 02, 2025 01:11 PM
These results are a compilation of climate change vulnerability assessments in the western portion of the LCC, covering the area from Western Kentucky, northeastern Alabama and western Tennessee west to southern Indiana and southeastern Illinois. Results included are from Bruno et al. (Cumberland Piedmont Network of the National Park Service; and Walk et al. 2011 (illinois). It also includes the results from species assessed as part of the current study (Sneddon et al. 2015).
Central Appalachian subregion climate change vulnerability species assessments Excel Spreadsheet by Lesley Sneddon, last updated: Jun 02, 2025 01:11 PM
These results are a compilation of climate change vulnerability assessments in the northern-most portion of the LCC, covering the area from New York south to West Virginia and Virginia, west to Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio. Results included are Byers and Norris 2011 (West Virginia); Furedi et al. 2011 (Pennsylvania), Ring et al. 2013 (New Jersey), Schlesinger et al. 2011 (New York); Virginia Division of Natural Heritage 2010 (Virginia). It also includes the results from species assessed as part of the current study (Sneddon et al. 2015).
Cumberland - Southern Appalachian Climate Change Vulnerability Species Assessments by Web Editor, last updated: Jun 02, 2025 01:11 PM
These results are a compilation of climate change vulnerability assessments in the southeastern portion of the LCC, covering the area from southern West Virginia, south to Alabama, west to eastern Kentucky and Tennessee. Hyperlinks to additional information are separated into two additional spreadsheets, one for aquatic and subterranean, and another for terrestrial species.

Stream Baseflow Index by Jessica Rhodes, last updated: Jun 02, 2025 01:11 PM
Average annual stream baseflow index at 1 kilometer resolution throughout the Appalachian LCC region.
Aquatic Species Richness by County by Jessica Rhodes, last updated: Jun 02, 2025 01:11 PM
Distribution of aquatic species at the county scale throughout the Appalachian LCC region.
Aquatic Species Richness by Jessica Rhodes, last updated: Jun 02, 2025 01:11 PM
Distribution of aquatic species richness by 20 kilometers grids throughout the Appalachian LCC region. At this scale, the hotspots of aquatic species richness are in southern Indiana (the Mitchell Plain) and central Kentucky (Mammoth Cave).
Final Report: A Stream Classification for the Appalachian LCC by Tracy Clark, last updated: Jun 02, 2025 01:11 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.
Stream Classification System for the Appalachian LCC by Rosanne Hessmiller, last updated: Jun 02, 2025 01:11 PM
 
Stream Classification System for the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative by Web Editor, last updated: Jun 02, 2025 01:11 PM
Stream classification information is essential to develop and implement flow standards and water management recommendations that will sustain aquatic biodiversity. Unfortunately, standardized information was lacking for the Appalachian landscape. The goal of this project was to develop a state-based, consistent stream classification system for aquatic ecosystems in the region. Unifying state-based stream classifications into a single consistent system, principal investigators at The Nature Conservancy developed a hierarchical classification system and map for stream and river systems for the Appalachian LCC that represents the region’s natural flowing aquatic habitats.
2013 SN Portfolio (Full Report) by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Jun 02, 2025 01:11 PM
In February 2013, almost 50 experts from a wide range of technical background in both natural and social sciences, as well as geographic expertise across the entire region, volunteered to participate in the annual review of the Appalachian LCC Science Needs Portfolio. 2013 marked the first revision of the Portfolio.
Aquatic by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Jun 02, 2025 01:11 PM
2013 SN Portfolio: Mission is to maintain native habitats and endemic aquatic species in their current locations or support these as they migrate with land use and climate changes in the future.
Aquatic Ecological Flows Project Update by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Jun 02, 2025 01:11 PM
This presentation from Dr. Todd Walter of Cornell University provides an update to the Steering Committee on the 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, a georeference assessment of available ecological data to inform the ecological flow model(s), the application of the model(s) to anticipate how altered flow regimes will affect critical conditions, and a report that forecasts changes in hydrology and associated predicted biological responses in relation to different water resource development scenarios for critical watersheds.
Riparian Restoration to Promote Climate Change Resilience in Eastern U.S. Streams by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Jun 02, 2025 01:11 PM
This presentation from Jason Coombs of the University of Massachusetts provides an update to the Steering Committee on this Appalachian LCC funded research project. The Riparian Restoration to Promote Climate Change Resilience in Eastern U.S. Streams is developing and implementing a user-friendly web-based tool to identify priority areas for riparian restoration in the context of predicted climate change at the appropriate scale needed by practitioners. A ‘shovel ready’ prioritization tool for managers facing immediate on-the-ground decisions will be developed. Then research will link directly to ongoing and future stream flow, temperature, and biological response modeling projects and decision support tools.
