Current condition and refugia conservation cores for seven species and conductance among them
For 7 species: American woodcock (amwo), Bicknell's thrush (bith), Blackburnian warbler (blbw), Box turtle (teca), Cerulean warbler (cerw), Moose (moose), and Saltmarsh sparrow (sals) we provide five distinct datasets. Species codes (in parenthesis) are used in file names and represented by "[species]" below. 1. A set of conservation cores that represent areas of high local, relative value to the species either in the present, the future, or both: [species]_allcores.shp 2. Conductance among the present condition cores: [species]_conduct.tif 3. Conductance among the future cores: [species]_conduct_futr.tif 4. The landscape capability of the species in 2020 (an input dataset to this analysis): [species]_LC_2020_v5.1.tif...

Mapping Connections across Ecosystems in the Northeast to Inform Climate Refugia
As the climate continues to change, vulnerable wildlife species will need specific management strategies to help them adapt to these changes. One specific management strategy is based on the idea that some locations that species inhabit today will remain suitable over time and should be protected. The climate conditions at those locations will continue to be good enough for species to survive and breed successfully and are referred to as climate refugia. Another management strategy is based on the idea that species will need to shift across the landscape to track suitable conditions and reach climate refugia locations as climate and land uses change over time. The more opportunities we can give species to safely...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
