Describes the successes and challenges of integrating tools across the traditionally separate institutional sectors and domains of land, coastal and estuarine.
The purpose of this report was to help the National Park Service develop a standing data exchange protocol intended to ensure that data acquired by either NatureServe, the member programs, or the National Park Service NETN is shared. This protocol would ensure that the datasets held by either organization contains the most current available information.
This 2007 report describes a pilot study to classify and map South Florida’s coastal and marine habitats using the Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS).
In cooperation with the Natural Resource Conservation Service, the University of Missouri Resource Assessment Partnership, and the Missouri Department of conservation, NatureServe conducted a pilot project to develop and evaluate ways to assess the benefits of NRCS conservation practices to at-risk wildlife species and habitats in Missouri.
This 2008 project presents terrestrial and aquatic classifications meant to provide a common base for characterizing wildlife habitats across states, to facilitate interstate communication, and to promote an understanding of terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity patterns across the Northeast.
This collaborative map features ecological systems in 1.5 million square kilometeres across 130 Andean and lowland ecosystems of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. The rich environmental and climatic gradient of this region has produced an exceptionally diverse landscape of species and ecosystems, making its one of the most diversity-rich regions on the planet.
This report identifies National Park Service programs for which the proposed methodology would provide a complementary or significantly expanded set of tools to guide the conservation of biological and ecological resources
This classification subset includes all alliances and community associations attributed to the Kisatchie National Forest in Louisiana, 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 1994-1995, during the early life of this project.
This classification subset includes all alliances and community associations presently attributed to the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area in Kentucky and Tennessee, 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.
This classification subset includes all alliances and community associations attributed to the Nantahala-Pisgah 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 the area. Fieldwork took place primarily in 1994-1995, during the early life of this project.
