Project A Stream Classification System for the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative
by Matthew Cimitile — published Nov 28, 2012 — last modified Jan 04, 2016 02:42 PM — filed under: , , , , , ,
Unifying state-based stream classifications into a single consistent system, principal investigators at The Nature Conservancy developed a hierarchical classification system and map for stream and river systems for the Appalachian LCC that represents the region’s natural flowing-water aquatic habitats. This river classification information is needed to develop and implement instream flow standards and management recommendations so that environmental flows can become integral to all water management decisions from the onset.

Project Environmental Flows from Water Withdrawals in the Marcellus Shale Region
by Matthew Cimitile — published Nov 28, 2012 — last modified Jul 13, 2016 11:04 AM — filed under: , , , , , , ,
The Appalachian LCC collaborated with Cornell University to study the environmental impacts of water withdrawals in the Central Appalachian region. The rivers and streams of the Central Appalachians are home to more than 200 species of fish and other aquatic life. They also provide a reliable source of drinking water, recreational opportunities and associated economic benefits to people living in large cities and surrounding communities. This research looks at how the region’s surface freshwater supply – and the health of natural systems delivering this resource – have been impacted and may be altered in the coming years under increasing water withdrawals. It focuses on the Marcellus Shale region in the Central Appalachians, including portions of NY, PA, OH, MD, WV and VA.

Floodplain Prioritization Tool
by admin — published Mar 26, 2021 — last modified Mar 31, 2021 11:23 AM — filed under: , , , , , , ,
The Floodplain Prioritization Tool helps decision-makers identify critical opportunities for floodplain protection and restoration in the Mississippi River Basin. It is an interactive, web-based mapping tool. Users can prioritize different criteria (e.g., water quality, wildlife habitat, and human exposure to flooding) on the map to see where floodplain restoration and conservation is likely to have the greatest impact. Developed by The Nature Conservancy and partners.

Southeast Aquatic Barrier Prioritization Tool
by admin — published Mar 26, 2021 — last modified Mar 31, 2021 11:23 AM — filed under: , , , , , , ,
The Southeast Aquatic Barrier Prioritization Tool aims to build aquatic connectivity in rivers and streams. The Tool provides inventory data on aquatic barriers (like dams and road-related culverts) and helps practitioners to describe, understand, and prioritize these barriers for removal, restoration, and mitigation. Aquatic connectivity in rivers and streams is essential for fish and other aquatic organisms. The Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership (SARP) developed the tool with support from partners and funders.

File PDF document Full Proposal - A Stream Classification System for the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative
by Matthew Cimitile — published Aug 31, 2012 — last modified Jun 29, 2022 06:24 PM — filed under: , , ,
The goal of this project is to develop a hierarchical classification for stream and river systems within the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC). This classification system will identify and consistently map ecologically similar types of rivers and streams using a flexible hierarchical set of geomorphic and hydrologic variables deemed appropriate for classification by the participating states and relevant to the spatial scale of management.

File Northern Bobwhite in Working Grasslands
by Web Editor — published Oct 10, 2019 — last modified Apr 21, 2023 12:06 AM — filed under: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
The northern bobwhite is often referred to and "edge" species, seeking habitat where crop fields intersect with woodlands, pastures, and old fields. The desired outcomes of project practices is 1) improved cattle production for grazing operations, 2) restore native grasses to the agricultural landscape, and 3) improve soil health, water quality, and wildlife habitat on farms.

No-Till Intensive Trainings
by admin — published Jun 30, 2021 — filed under: , , , , , , , , , , ,
8-part webinar series with farmers, researchers, or other expert practitioners. The classes will discuss common obstacles to implementing a successful no-till program, address these issues through field proven technical knowledge, and follow a training plan that will best enable the TSP (technical service provider) to support the farmers in the no-till practice transition. This course is open to any service provider working with farmers in the Northeast! Upon course completion participants will receive a No-Till Intensive Training Certificate of Completion, as well as be eligible for 8 CCA credits and 1 Pesticide credit.

OpenET: Evapotranspiration Data Explorer
by Administrator — published Oct 12, 2022 — last modified Oct 12, 2022 09:32 PM — filed under: , , , , ,
OpenET uses best available science to provide easily accessible satellite-based estimates of evapotranspiration (ET) for improved water management across the western United States. Using the Data Explorer, users can explore ET data at the field scale for millions of individual fields or at the original quarter-acre resolution of the satellite data.
