This 72-page report answers the call for stronger ecological performance standards for guiding the wetland mitigation process. Here we present two methods for setting those standards: a) a watershed approach and b) an approach based on ecological integrity assessment methods.
This classification subset includes all alliances and associations attributed to any of the National Forests in Texas, including the Angelina, Davy Crockett, Sabine, and/or the Sam Houston. These attributions were developed after fieldwork on National Forest lands conducted with the objective of visiting representative examples of all the major vegetation types, rare or unusual communities, and vegetation resulting from common forest management regimes.
This classification subset includes all alliances and associations attributed to the Francis Marion National Forest in South Carolina, 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 working in the area. Fieldwork took place primarily in 2002 and 2003.
This classification subset includes all alliances and associations attributed to the Croatan National Forest in North Carolina, 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 this area. Fieldwork took place in 2002.
The U.S. National Vegetation Classification standard is intended as framework and a tool for conservation planning and biodiversity protection, as well as resource planning, management, and vegetation mapping.
With gypsy moth outbreaks expected to be a fixture among North America's forest ecology for the foreseeable future, this report lays out the factors which managers take into account in shaping their response.
This technical bulletin evaluates the state of NatureServe’s scientific methods and information resources in 2004 while also identifying priorities for additional research and data development.
Long the forgotten river in the Washington D.C. region, the Anacostia River is increasingly the focus of efforts designed to protect and restore the river and its associated watershed.
