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 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.
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.
A comprehensive listing and description of all natural plant communities (588 associations) in the Midwest, using the concepts of the U.S. National Vegetation Classification system.
This state-by-state analysis of U.S. biodiversity ranks all 50 states on several key biological characteristics, including diversity of species, endemism, levels of rarity and risk, and species already lost to extinction.
Nearly 600 terrestrial ecological systems in the United States, southern Alaska, and adjacent areas of Mexico and Canada are summarized in this report, which introduces and outlines the conceptual basis for a mid-scale classification unit: the ecological system.
