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). PublicationScientific Report
The report presents the most detailed study of its kind ever carried out, in which scientists identified 12 previously unknown centers of endemism — areas that safeguard species found nowhere else in the world — in the Eastern Andean slope and Amazon basin of Peru and Bolivia. The report also illustrates distribution maps for 782 endemic species of plants, mammals, amphibians, and birds in unprecedented detail.PublicationScientific Report
This report classifies and maps the natural vegetation of Voyageurs National Park --which contains 54,243 hectares of terrestrial, sub-boreal habitat -- using the USNVC, with ‘alliance’ and ‘association’ as base units. PublicationScientific ReportApplied Vegetation Science
More than 80 ecosystems in the Amazon Basin of Peru and Bolivia are classified and mapped in this report. The map is the first in Latin America to use the same criteria, scales and field validation to illustrate the natural vegetation across the two countries, and is expected to serve as a model to future vegetation maps in the region.PublicationScientific Report
