This classification subset includes all alliances and associations attributed to the Talladega and Tuskegee National Forests in Alabama, as well as some for which more data are needed to confirm their occurrence. Fieldwork took place in 2000.
This classification subset includes all alliances and associations attributed to the Chattahochee and Oconee National Forests of Georgia and South Carolina, as well as some for which more data are needed to confirm their occurrence. Fieldwork took place in 1999 and 2000.
This classification subset includes all alliances and associations attributed to the Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky, as well as some for which more data are needed to confirm their occurrence.
The park that includes Carl Sandburg's historic home -- from which he penned classic works in his wooden chair at the base of Big Glassy Mountain -- is the focus of this 2003 project to: 1) Establish at least 15 permanent plots for present and future monitoring. 2) Document all ecological communities. 3) Document at least 90 percent of the vascular plants within the boundaries of the park.
We created and tested several predictive occurrence models to determine the ecoregional distribution of native plant taxa and applied the preferred model to plants of interest to the Bureau of Land Management.
Results from this study indicate that use of ecological systems as a map unit could help make GAP maps more apt for modeling vertebrate habitat ranges.
Few ecological communities survive intact at Guilford Courthouse because of its history of human-induced disturbance and the severe fragmentation of the surrounding landscape. This 2003 project added 255 species and represents a 90 percent inventory of the park's vascular flora.
This classification subset includes all alliances and community associations attributed to the Uwharrie 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.
