Document: Potential Criteria for Weighting Ecological Systems (May 13, 2014)
This document summarizes the criteria for weighting ecological systems that emerged from the April core team meeting for the Connecticut River Pilot, and how they were applied to ecological systems of the watershed.
Detailed documentation of species-based assessment for Designing Sustainable Landscapes project
Species -- This document describes our species-based assessment based on the concept of climate and habitat capability for a suite of representative species. Here, we define climate and habitat capability and the methods used to measure each component for each species. In addition, here we link to detailed documentation of the climate-habitat capability model developed for each representative species. [updated 6/17/2014]
Landscape Permeability
Developed by The Nature Conservancy Eastern Division. Permeability, rather than being based on individual species movements, is a measure of landscape structure, incorporating the hardness of barriers, the connectedness of natural cover, and the arrangement of land uses. - See more at: http://bit.ly/18eOPIU
Northeast Terrestrial Resilience, "Lite"
Developed by The Nature Conservancy Eastern Divsion. This project identifies the most resilient examples of key geophysical settings, to provide managers and scientists with a nuanced picture of the places where conservation is most likely to succeed over centuries. Includes the 90 meter resilience grid, basic hexagons, and coastal zones. See more at: http://bit.ly/1eSU2rA

NE Geospatial Condition Analysis
Analysis of the condition of the different terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Also includes a query tool for easier selection of habitats of interest.

NALCC/NECSC Decision Support System
In progress: The objective of Phase 1, which is being funded via this cooperative agreement, is to develop a web-based decision support system for evaluating effects of alternate management strategies on local population persistence of brook trout under different climate change scenarios. This DSS will include a hierarchical Bayesian model that accounts for multiple scales and sources of uncertainty in climate change predictions; it will include models to predict stream flow and temperature based on air temperature and precipitation; and it will incorporate climate change forecasts into population persistence models.
Revised task list and timeline - Spring 2013
