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 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 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 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.
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 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).
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.
Describes the successes and challenges of integrating tools across the traditionally separate institutional sectors and domains of land, coastal and estuarine.
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.
