- Model Results: Habitat Vulnerability Evaluations for 'The Vulnerabilities of Northeastern Fish and Wildlife Habitats to Climate Change'
- Habitat vulnerability evaluations for the 10 habitats evaluated for each zone in which they were analyzed. The zip file contains a folder with one Excel workbook per habitat, including modules 1, 2, and 3 for each zone in which that habitat occurs.
- Document: The Vulnerabilities of Northeastern Fish and Wildlife Habitats to Climate Change
- A report to the Northeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies and the North Atlantic LCC from the Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences and the National Wildlife Federation. One of three reports in a series on vulnerabilities to climate change of northeast fish and wildlife habitats.
- Excel Workbook: Attachment 13 to 'The Vulnerabilities of Northeastern Fish and Wildlife Habitats to Climate Change'.
- Attachment 13 to 'The Vulnerabilities of Northeastern Fish and Wildlife Habitats to Climate Change'. This spreadsheet contains model results for all habitat types and zones analyzed in the report. Formulas support live updating of any parameters. For more detailed definitions of the numerical scores assigned to each module variable, see the individual habitat-zone analyses in the file 'HabitatVulnerabilityEvaluations-All.zip'. To find the overall vulnerability of a particular row, use the small matrix at right to match the Module 1 and 2 vulnerability values. For example, the Acadian-Appalachian Alpine Tundra - Zone 1 vulnerability scores are Vc4 and Vb5, which corresponds to an overall score of Vo5.

- Document and Maps: Landscape Capability and Vulnerability Table and Maps (05-30-2014)
- One document including one table and 21 maps (PDF). The table includes statistics for each representative species on the current landscape capability in the Northeast region and the Connecticut River watershed. Maps of landscape capability in 2010 are included for the following species: American woodcock, Black bear, Blackburnian warbler, Blackpoll warbler, Eastern meadowlark, Louisiana waterthrush, Marsh wren, Northern waterthrush, Wood thrush. Maps of landscape capability in 2080 and the change from 2010 to 2080 are included for some of those species.
- Core Team Subgroup Members
- Subteam assignments based on response to Feb 24, 2104 Core Team meeting request to “self-assign” to a subteam. Last updated 03-28-2014.
- Document: Representative species being modeled in CT River Watershed
- At 2011 workshops in each of the three sub-regions, Service scientists and other experts selected a total of 87 terrestrial and wetland representative species. This table lists the representative species that occur in the Connecticut River Watershed for which habitat models are being developed through the Designing Sustainable Landscapes project, including the 13 species that are due to be completed first. The table includes associated habitats and examples of the species they are intended to represent.
- Document: Summary points from the USFWS Connecticut River Coordinator 1-15-14
- Summary points from the USFWS Connecticut River Coordinator/Executive Assistant to the Connecticut River Atlantic Salmon Commission (CRASC), Ken Sprankle. Presented at LCC Connecticut River Pilot Meeting, 01-15-14.
- Agenda - Connecticut River Pilot Preliminary Meeting 01-15-2014
- Agenda, handouts and presentations for Jan 15th Connecticut River Pilot FWS employee meeting in Hadley, Massachusetts from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
- Document: Action Items and Meeting Notes 01-15-2014
- Action items from preliminary Connecticut River Pilot meeting and notes from the day.
- Map: CT River Watershed - Terrestrial and Aquatic Cores
- DRAFT Maps for illustrative purposes only. Side by side maps of the entire Connecticut River Watershed. These maps show (1) potential terrestrial cores contrasting the slicing vs. the kernel approach and (2) a preliminary example of how the aquatic cores might look. Both are highly subject to change.
- Map: CT River Watershed - Terrestrial Core Areas
- DRAFT Maps for illustrative purposes only. Side by side maps of the entire Connecticut River Watershed. Two methods of creating core terrestrial areas are shown: the continuously scaled draft selection index and the kernel-expansion method in which the top 5% of the index (at left) is used as seeds to grow core areas until 30% of the landscape is represented.
- Map: CT River Watershed - Stream Temperature, Rare Systems
- DRAFT Maps for illustrative purposes only. Side by side maps of the entire Connecticut River Watershed. Headwater stream temperature sensitivity (USGS) and Rare Natural Communities are shown. These are two of the spatial datasets to be incorporated into the overall selection index for the conservation design.
