A European Union Directive from 2008 dictates that biofuels and bioliquids cannot be produced from raw material obtained from land with high biodiversity value. The challenge is to provide a methodology and relevant information for all Article 17(c) categories that an operator can follow to avoid these grassland areas.
This report presents NatureServe's approach to helping establish performance standards for wetlands mitigation using an improved version of our methodology for conducting ecological integrity assessments. In addition to the main report, separate reports are provided with indicators and metrics for assessing each of 18 wetland ecological systems of New England, the Rocky Mountains, and the Southeast.
The Atlas is a beautifully illustrated bound collection of full-color maps, photographs, and written accounts about many of California's diverse wildlife species and habitats, based upon more than 20 years of data. From college students to outdoor enthusiasts, environmental planners to policy makers, the
This summary of Virginia's natural heritage program and natural area preserve system evaluates the status of the Commonwealth's natural heritage resources, and identifies its conservation goals for the upcoming decade.
This atlas provides an overview of existing knowledge on Québec's threatened or vulnerable species, discusses related conservation efforts to date and identifies biodiversity conservation hot spots.
This classification subset includes all alliances and community associations attributed to the Sumter National Forest in South Carolina, as well as some for which more data are needed to confirm their occurrence. This report is intended for use by Forest Service personnel and other ecologists in the area. Fieldwork took place primarily in 1994-1995, during the early life of this project.
This classification subset includes all alliances and community associations attributed to the National Forests of southern Mississippi (Bienville, De Soto, Homochitto), as well as some for which more data are needed to confirm their
occurrence. This report is intended for use by Forest Service personnel and other ecologists in the area. Fieldwork took place primarily in 1997-1998.
This 2008 project presents terrestrial and aquatic classifications meant to provide a common base for characterizing wildlife habitats across states, to facilitate interstate communication, and to promote an understanding of terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity patterns across the Northeast.
In cooperation with the Natural Resource Conservation Service, the University of Missouri Resource Assessment Partnership, and the Missouri Department of conservation, NatureServe conducted a pilot project to develop and evaluate ways to assess the benefits of NRCS conservation practices to at-risk wildlife species and habitats in Missouri.
