Stitching Together Work of LCCs across the Southeast: The Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy (SECAS) is a shared, long-term vision for the conservation future of the Southeast and Caribbean region of the United States.

Appalachian LCC Coordinator is Panelist at National Conference on Science, Policy and the Environment: Appalachian LCC Coordinator and Chief Scientist, Dr. Jean Brennan, participated as an invited speaker at the 16th National Conference and Global Forum on Science, Policy and the Environment in Washington DC.

Landscape Ecology Meeting: The US International Association of Landscape Ecology 2016 Annual Meeting will focus on “Landscape Change" and strives to capture the defining characteristic and the inherent nature of the modern world in the Anthropocene epoch.

Modeling Input Maps: Since there were too many species (710) or even genera (131) to analyze within the scope of this project, a functional ecological approach was utilized. The ranges of nine ecological groups were analyzed, including; predaceous ground beetles, millipedes, pseudoscorpions, springtails, spiders, amphipods, isopods (Asellidae), crayfish, and fish. Collectively, they are the best studied and most abundant stygobionts and troglobionts. Species within each group have very similar ecological roles, so interesting generalities should emerge about the conditions under which they are found. The number of species in each group ranges from 164 (beetles) to four (fish).

Bat Records by County: The utilization of caves by bats is quite different from other cave dwelling species. No bat spends its entire life in a cave, and during the summer, those species that roost leave at night to forage for food, primarily insects. Some species also hibernate in caves, and overall there is a varying degree of dependency on caves as a physical habitat. Many species are also found in mines, because some mines and caves are very similar habitats to bats. In the study area, there are ten species of bats that depend on caves and mines. This folder contains maps of the county scale distribution of bat species (a total of 10) which were considered.

Soil Organic Matter and Sinkholes: Sinkhole density (number per square kilometer) and soil organic matter (percent by weight) throughout the Appalachian LCC region.

Soil Thickness: High end of range of soil thickness at 1 kilometer resolution throughout the Appalachian LCC region.

Soil Permeability: High values for soil permeability at 1 kilometer resolution throughout the Appalachian LCC region.

Soil Available Water Capacity: High values for soil available water capacity at 1 kilometer resolution throughout the Appalachian LCC region.

Sinkhole Density: Density of sinkholes per square kilometer throughout the Appalachian LCC region.

How to Delete items during an active MeetingSphere session: Delete can be performed by hosts and participants can delete content they shared during a meeting.

General Help for Hosts in MeetingSphere: MeetingSphere provides a set of interactive, self-documenting tools. In their default configuration, these tools cover the typical use cases of face-to-face or online sessions. Experienced users will use advanced settings to support more intricate methodologies and facilitation techniques. In the process of building a session agenda, tools are added to the relevant Agenda stages to produce the required outcome of the session. The following table describes the MeetingSphere tools by their primary and intended uses. Once you know them, you will discover many more.

MeetingSphere Commands, common functions and tools: The "Command" menu provides help on commands, features and functions that run across several or all MeetingSphere tools:

County Occurrence Map for Indiana Bat: Distribution map of counties with a cave/mine occurrence for Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) within the Appalachian LCC region.

County Occurrence Map for Northern Long-eared Bat: Distribution map of counties with a cave/mine occurrence for Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) within the Appalachian LCC region.
