  1. Species Diversity as a Surrogate for Conservation of Phylogenetic and Functional Diversity in Terrestrial Vertebrates Across the Americas

    Preserving the evolutionary history and ecological functions that different species embody, in addition to species themselves, is a growing concern for conservation. Recent studies warn that conservation priority regions identified using species diversity differ from those based on phylogenetic or functional diversity.

  2. Using citizen science data to support conservation in environmental regulatory contexts

    Outside of protected areas, environmental regulation is a vital policy tool for conserving at-risk species. An underappreciated potential for citizen science is to augment locality databases used in regulatory review to provide greater certainty to regulatory decisions.

  4. Habitat Climate Change Vulnerability Index Applied to Major Vegetation Types of the Western Interior United States

    We applied a framework to assess climate change vulnerability of 52 major vegetation types in the Western United States to provide a spatially explicit input to adaptive management decisions. The framework addressed climate exposure and ecosystem resilience; the latter derived from analyses of ecosystem sensitivity and adaptive capacity.

  5. Integrating Stakeholders in Mangrove Assessments

    The purpose of this document is to present a replicable model for mangrove ecosystem management based on collaborative planning efforts in the mangrove forests of the Ramsar designated Alvarado Lagoon System (ALS), Veracruz, Mexico.

  7. Assessing Vulnerability and Resilience of Major Vegetation Types of the Western Interior U.S.- Shrublands and Grasslands

    The objectives of this project are to understand current trends in climate change across the western conterminous United States, assess the potential impact of these changes on major vegetation types of high importance to BLM management, and interpret these changes to assist BLM in determining climate smart management strategies.

  9. Assessing Vulnerability and Resilience of Major Vegetation Types of the Western Interior U.S.- Forests and Woodlands

    The objectives of this project are to understand current trends in climate change across the western conterminous United States, assess the potential impact of these changes on major vegetation types of high importance to BLM management, and interpret these changes to assist BLM in determining climate smart management strategies.
