Unaltered Beach This layer is an outdated version of one of the South Atlantic LCC indicators in the beach and dune ecosystem. It is an index of altered beaches capturing impacts from hardened structures like jetties, groins, and infrastructure. This indicator was updated in Blueprint 2.2 to incorporate more recent data from the Coastal Barrier Resources System, which is used to set the boundaries of undeveloped beaches. The updated indicator was also extended to new areas of the beach and dune ecosystem map. Reason for Selection Altered beaches (including human developments along shorelines, jetties, groins, seawalls, revetments, and other structures) provide a measure of overall habitat alteration. Human infrastructure...

Fresh and Saltwater Connectivity This layer was one of the old South Atlantic LCC indicators in the waterscapes ecosystem. It was an index of dams preventing fish migration between rivers and the ocean. Fresh and saltwater connectivity was not performing well as an indicator and could not be used in Blueprint 2.0. This indicator was replaced in Blueprint 2.1 with a new migratory fish connectivity indicator. Reason for Selection Barriers to connectivity between rivers/streams and the ocean can strongly impact diadromous fish and alter natural movement of sediments, are easy to monitor and model, and are widely used and understood by diverse partners. Input Data Southeast Aquatic Connectivity Assessment Project:...

Wetland Patch Size This layer is one of the South Atlantic LCC indicators in the estuarine ecosystem. It is an index based on the size of estuarine patches. Reason for Selection Larger, better connected wetlands are positively associated with fish (Meynecke et al. 2008), shrimp (Turner 1977), and marsh birds. In particular, seaside sparrow (Benoit and Askins 2002, Rush et al. 2009), saltmarsh sharp-tailed sparrow (Benoit and Askins 2002), and marsh wren (Rush et al. 2009) have been associated with marsh area effects. Other species are expected to be limited based on home range size. In addition, wave attenuation is increased with wetland area (Shepard et al. 2011). Over time, a decrease in patch size will correspond...

Bachman's Sparrow Species Distribution Model Bachman's Sparrow locations were recorded in three distinct survey projects conducted by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) (n = 544; 2006-2013), Paul Tallie et al. (Taillie et al. In review) (n = 99; 2012), and a Virginia Tech study in cooperation with the U.S. Marine Corp at Camp Lejeune (n = 84; 2010). Paul Taillie (NCWRC), Jeffrey Marcus (The Nature Conservancy), Scott Anderson (NCWRC), and John Carpenter (NCWRC) collected data and summarized existing data sources. Data were collected as part of species-specific point count surveys with call-backs, general point counts, and as incidental observations. Points within 250 m of another presence...

Northern Bobwhite This layer is one of the South Atlantic LCC indicators in the pine woodland, savanna and prairies ecosystem. To read more about the indicators and how they are being used, please visit the indicator page. Description The National Bobwhite Technical Committee used an extensive series of workshops, and revision workshops, where a multitude of experts conducted a spatially explicitly habitat ranking based on GIS data and local expert knowledge (The National Bobwhite Technical Committee 2011). Bobwhite habitat suitability was ranked from low to high; for our purposes, we targeted the highest ranking, "high." GIS Processing All indicators were initially computed, or in the case of existing...

Pine and Prairie Amphibians This layer is an outdated version of one of the South Atlantic LCC indicators in the pine woodland, savanna and prairie ecosystem. It captures Priority Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Areas in the pine and prairie ecosystem. This indicator was updated in Blueprint 2.1 to extend it to new areas of the pine and prairie ecosystem map. Reason for Selection Amphibians provide an indicator of the condition and arrangement of embedded isolated wetlands. Input Data South Atlantic LCC Priority Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Areas (PARCAs) served as input data for this indicator. PARCAs are a nonregulatory designation whose purpose is to raise public awareness and spark voluntary action...

Coastal Condition (Estuarine Marsh) This layer is an older version of one of the South Atlantic LCC indicators in the estuarine ecosystem. It is an index of coastal condition capturing water quality, sediment quality, and benthic community condition. This indicator was updated with more current data in Blueprint 2.1 and is delivered in combination with the estuarine open water portion of coastal condition. Reason for Selection This index measures the overall abiotic condition of the system, is well monitored, and is synthesized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) every five years. It integrates measures of water quality, sediment quality, and benthic habitat quality. Input Data The EPA Coastal Condition...

Water-Vegetation Edge This layer is one of the South Atlantic LCC indicators in the estuarine ecosystem. It is an index capturing the length of the edge between open water and estuarine vegetation. Reason for Selection The density and abundance of shrimp, crab, fish, and other nekton are strongly correlated with the open water-vegetation edges (Minello et al. 2003). In a review of nekton species and coastal habitats, open water-vegetation edge was cited as having the second most dense nekton populations (i.e., first being submerged aquatic vegetation, or SAV) (Minello et al. 2003). In particular, the first 1 m of open water near wetlands is often noted as having the highest density of nekton (Minello and Rozas...

Resident Fish Connectivity This layer was one of the old South Atlantic LCC indicators in the waterscapes ecosystem. It was an index of local barriers to fish and other aquatic species. Resident fish connectivity was not performing well as an indicator and could not be used in Blueprint 2.0. This indicator was replaced in Blueprint 2.1 with a new network complexity indicator. Reason for Selection Barriers to connectivity within rivers/streams can strongly impact aquatic diversity and alter natural movement of sediments, are easy to monitor and model, and are widely used and understood by diverse partners. Input Data Southeast Aquatic Connectivity Assessment Project: This project, a collaboration between The Nature...

Permeable Surface This layer is one of the South Atlantic LCC indicators in the freshwater aquatic ecosystem. It is an index of impervious surface within each watershed. This layer depicts the version of the indicator used in the State of the South Atlantic. The name has recently changed from "impervious surface" to better reflect the way the indicator is calculated, where high values indicate better ecological condition. Indicators provide a way to measure progress toward overall goals of ecosystem integrity and intact cultural landscapes. They include species, habitat, and abiotic ecosystem process metrics. Your Cooperative selected indicators that can be monitored and modeled with existing data, and that...
