Knowledge to address questions like how to enhance landscape resiliency and minimize biodiversity loss as land use and climate change exert compound pressures on natural habitat.
NatureServe tools like Vista served to look at sources of land use conflict and provide alternatives to keep opposing values in active changing landscapes like the Amazon Basin.
NatureServe scientists and country partners mapped major endemism centers, detailed distributions of 782 endemic species, and ecosystems diversity in the Amazon Basin of Peru and Bolivia.
Biologists disagree as to what constitutes a species, with the trend lately towards applying progressively smaller levels of differentiation as evidence of species status.
This classification subset includes all alliances and community associations attributed to the three National Forests in the northern half of Mississippi (Delta, Holly Springs, and Tombigbee), as well as some for which more data are needed to confirm their occurrence. This report is intended for use by Forest Service personnel and other ecologists in the area. Fieldwork took place primarily in 2002.
