NALCC Species List for CCVA
This is the list of species chosen by the North Atlantic LCC to receive CCVA using the NS CCVI methodology. The list represents a selection drawn from: (1) the existing "representative species" (as part of the Designing Sustainable Landscapes project); (2) from a list by the States as representing SGCN (species of greatest conservation need as identified in their State Wildlife Action Plans - SWAPs); and (3) "foundational" species (such as sugar maple that are integral to defining habitats and species assemblages.
NALCC Project Description for a CCVA in the NE
Project description/proposal as submitted to the North Atlantic LCC by NatureServe to conduct a species climate change vulnerability assessment (CCVA) using the NatureServe CCVI methodology. Do not cite or quote without approval of the author(s). Do not distribute beyond this work group. (Also see other item listed - 60 species identified.)
2012-11-01_SALCC Draft NR Indicator Process
From the draft document: "Why are indicators needed? Designing and evaluating the success of a shared blueprint for landscape conservation actions in the South Atlantic will require some specific measures of what success would look like for natural resources. The ecosystems of the South Atlantic are complex and indicators help simplify the modeling and monitoring of those systems. We cannot measure everything all of the time. Indicators are designed to integrate many ecological functions and represent other components of the system that are either too expensive or time consuming to model and measure." [And] "How will indicators be used? Indicators will be used to help design a shared blueprint for landscape conservation actions that sustain natural and cultural resources in the South Atlantic region. This blueprint will include an interactive map depicting the key places and actions needed to sustain those resources in the face of future change (e.g., urban growth, climate change, sea level rise). Indicators and measurable targets for those indicators will be used to help design this interactive map and evaluate the effectiveness of actions based on it."
