The Edwards to Gulf Conservation Blueprint - Habitat Management Prioritization Prioritization for maintenance of intact habitat (i.e., habitat quality rating of Good or Very Good), based on local scale ecological integrity, degree of threats faced, potential conservation opportunities, and conservation value of surrounding landscape. In contrast to ecological integrity ratings; threat, opportunity and landscape rankings are largely based on the range of values of any given indicator across the geography, sorted by quantile. There are some exceptions, particularly for indicators used to develop threat rankings (e.g., urban development risk).Prioritization for restoration of degraded habitat (i.e., habitat quality rating of Fair or Poor), based on local scale ecological integrity, potential...

Final Report: Edwards to Gulf Landscape Conservation Design Pilot Project - Outreach and Demonstration Report This report summarizes the methods and results of utilizing the Edwards to Gulf Conservation Blueprint to achieve specific tasks for various conservation entities. The goal of this effort is to provide real world examples of the use of our spatial products to ensure that stakeholders understand how to use and incorporate the blueprint into their own decision-making processes. This report covers a suite of demonstration projects that illustrate a variety of tasks likely to be of interest to the broader stakeholder community. These include using the habitat protection rankings to prioritize areas within a predefined focal area within the Edwards to Gulf region (Figure 1), mapping a route of least impact for a proposed...

Outreach and end-user support to implement shared conservation priority actions from the Edwards Plateau to the Gulf of Mexico This project builds off an ongoing effort to develop a suite of spatial products intended to assist regional stakeholders in planning and delivering conservation services (Tarbox et al. 2018c). The preceding project has been conducted in a participatory manner, with extensive stakeholder engagement and feedback. Upon completion, the spatial tools that comprise the conservation blueprint will be made accessible on ScienceBase, along with extensive documentation. The proposed project will make potential end users familiar with how these tools were developed, how they work, and how to best use them to guide their decision-making processes. Due to the complexity of some of the tools, intensive meetings and workshops...

Final Report: Edwards to Gulf Landscape Conservation Design Pilot Project - Conservation Prioritization Rankings The spatial products described here prioritize different types of conservation actions for six broadly defined habitats (Table 1-1; Appendix Table A-1). We identified these habitat types as the conservation targets of the Edwards to Gulf Landscape Conservation Design (LCD) through a participatory process (Tarbox et al. 2018). We then conducted a viability assessment of each conservation target by identifying their key ecological attributes (KEAs), and appropriate indicators. We then assessed the status of KEAs to determine the ecological integrity of each habitat type (FOS 2013). For further information on the development of ecological integrity ratings, please see our other document (Tarbox et al. 2019).

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.
