National Report on Sustainable Forests
This is a report on the state of forests in the United States of America and the indicators of national progress toward the goal of sustainable forest management. The report is designed to provide information that will improve public dialog and decision making on desired outcomes and needed actions to move the Nation toward this goal. The 64 indicators of forest sustainability used in the report reflect many of the environmental, social, and economic concerns of the American public regarding forests, and they help us establish a quantitative baseline for measuring progress toward sustainability. While the report presents data primarily at a national or regional level, it also provides a valuable context for related efforts to ensure sustainability at other geographic and political scales. Action at all levels is vital to achieving sustainable forest management in the United States. The current edition includes 130 pages of detailed information organized by indicator, as well as summary analyses and policy recommendations. Over 30 Forest Service scientists, senior staff and outside collaborators contributed to this edition of the report. A previous edition of the report was released in 2003, and an update is anticipated for 2015. Questions or comments about the report or the project as a whole are greatly appreciated and can be directed to Guy Robertson (see box on left).
IT Notes 2011
Goal statement: Create, maintain, and grow a GIS/ IT architecture that facilitates the development of community networks, supports systems modeling, enables information creation, exchange and education in a consistent manner across administrative boundaries allowing users to easily discover, access and integrate data and tools to facilitate conservation across the landscape over time.
RFA 6 - Understanding Land Use and Climate Change in the Appalachian Landscape - Word Doc
The APLCC intends to understand and address major environmental and human-related vulnerabilities of species as it relates to climate change stressors and develop adaptation strategies in response to climate change. This project will identify species and habitats vulnerable to climate change impacts, and describe vulnerabilities in sufficient detail to inform conservation partners who can then plan adaptive management responses, and compile a tabular, geo-referenced database for the Appalachian LCC website with a list of species/communities by taxonomic group/province identified as most vulnerable using the methodology determined to be of highest quality and best suited to the need of the Appalachians.
RFA 5 - Survey inventory & distribution mapping of RTEE species across the Appalachian LCC
Species/community management at the large regional scale of the Appalachian LCC requires GIS products that allow for a comprehensive assessment of distribution trends at whole-population levels. Those species that are federally listed under the Endangered Species Act are most likely to have been mapped across their entire range of occurrence, however state-listed species or other rare but priority species may not have been mapped entirely - or this information may not be readily available to all LCC partners. Having georeferenced ranges for our rarest endemic species will allow resource managers to focus conservation efforts, including mitigation projects and seek to divert development interests harmful to these communities. Furthermore, readily accessible comprehensive data will result in enhanced collaboration opportunities.
