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).
Overview and detailed descriptions for nearly 70 conservation sites throughout Nevada, sites that have been identified as harboring significant populations of rare species at highest risk of loss or serious decline without immediate new protection.
This report represents Québec’s first effort to identify bryophyte species in need of protection, the hope being to attract stakeholder interest in the long-neglected organism.
This illuminating and instructive book explores New Hampshire's stunning mosaic of natural communities, taking the reader on a tour of landscapes as varied as alpine meadows, tidal marshes, riverbanks, forests, ponds, dunes, and cliffs. Based on more than twenty years of ecological research, the New Hampshire Natural Heritage Bureau developed the classification of the nearly 200 types of natural community presented in this essential guide.
This 271-page book covers terrestrial, freshwater palustrine, riparian, and estuarine communities in New Hampshire, and includes a concise overview of the Granite State's landforms, climate, regional vegetation patterns, and ecoregions.
The lack of conservation remedies for the poorly understood decline of amphibian populations worldwide has left hundreds of these species to face extinction.
Forty-two out of 113 species of Harlequin frogs have seen their population cut by at least half, while 30 species are feared extinct. The likely culprits: climate change and the Batrachochytrium fungus.
This review of the best available data on U.S. species posits a dire conclusion the actual number of known species threatened with extinction is more than 10 times greater than the number of species under ESA protection.
Seventeen years ago, the Monteverde harlequin frog and the golden toad vanished from the mountains of Costa Rica. This article traces those and other extinctions to a fungal outbreak spurred by global warming.
