Rule: Urban open space index areas within Upland Hardwood in top 30% Reason: Many rare plants that require disturbance in the Upland Hardwood ecosystem are not effectively covered by LCC indicators and natural disturbances are no longer sufficient to maintain their populations. Many rare upland hardwood plants now rely on railroad tracks, roadsides, and small human created prairies for their survival. Cultivation and establishment of rare disturbance dependent upland hardwood plants in high priority Blueprint areas near urban areas could provide a unique way for urban areas to improve the overall integrity of the upland hardwoods ecosystem

Rule: All areas within 2.5 mi of Top 30% pine areas Reason: Education/outreach about prescribed fire near pine ecosystems to 1) “Reduce public anxiety about smoke and the wildland fires that cause it by increasing understanding about current conditions, the ecological role of fire, the use and expected outcomes of prescribed fires, and smoke management activities” and 2) “Increasing public acceptance of fire management strategies” (Olson et al 2014). 2.5 mi radius is based on 25 mile smoke screening distances for Southern Ecosystems (U.S. Forest Service, 2012) and 1% rule for critical areas (http://www.bugwood.org/pfire/smoke.html)

Rule: Non-secured land in top 30% priority Reason: LCC is mostly private and so incentives will be needed for most areas not formally protected. Incentives should also overlap land/water protection as there may not be willing sellers in even the highest priority places
thumbnail
Rule: All protected areas in Top 30% Reason: Protected areas help connect people with nature and historical cultural landscapes. Education and outreach in these places help generate community support for conservation actions
thumbnail
Rule: Top 10% not already secured and not in SLR threat zone Reason: Protection being the most expensive and long term action get’s reserved for only the best places. 10% is based on taking how much land protection has happened annually in the LCC and extrapolating that out to 2050.
