High elevation portions of salt marsh ecosystems are of concern for FWS, as essential habitat for species such as Saltmarsh Sparrow, and Black Rail. Under increasing rates of sea-level rise, widespread transition of high marsh habitat to low marsh is occurring. Maintenance of impounded wetland as habitat for an array of migratory birds is another critical priority. Impoundments, and their associated flooded freshwater habitat, are also threatened by sea-level rise and associated intrusion of saline water, forcing decisions regarding enhancements of dikes and other structures vs. restoration to natural salt marsh. Broadly, evaluations are needed to support decisions regarding the timeframe over which each impoundment...
Many eastern deciduous forest songbirds continue to experience significant population declines, which are often linked to breeding habitat requirements. Managing breeding habitat for some declining focal species in the eastern deciduous forest will entail managing for canopy heterogeneity and variable forest age classes through canopy disturbance, which are critical factors for optimizing bird species biodiversity. The prevalence of mature forests has remained stable to increasing in recent decades, but young forest conditions are lacking. In the Appalachian region, active forest management on private lands (both institutional and family-owned), in addition to public lands, are instrumental for either reversing...

This SSP project produced a Final Report and two publications. Carey, C.S., J.W. Jones, R.S. Butler, E.M. Hallerman. 2015. Restoring the endangered oyster mussel (Epioblasma capsaeformis) to the upper Clinch River, Virginia: an evaluation of population restoration techniques. Restoration Ecology. DOI: 10.1111/rec.12195. From 2005 to 2011, the federally endangered freshwater mussel Epioblasma capsaeformis (oyster mussel) was reintroduced at three sites in the upper Clinch River, Virginia, using four release techniques. These release techniques were (1) translocation of adults (site 1, n=1418), (2) release of laboratory-propagated sub-adults (site 1, n=2851), (3) release of 8-week-old laboratory-propagated juveniles...
