Table of statistics on the extent (ha) of geophysical settings as defined by TNC for their Resiliency analysis (April 2014)
-
Connecticut River Landscape Conservation Design project; statistics on the extent (ha) of geophysical settings as defined by TNC for their Resiliency analysis (Anderson et al. 2012) in the Northeast region (NE) and Connecticut River watershed (CTR); the percent of each setting contained within the watershed (Importance); and the percent of each setting protected from development within the Northeast and the watershed.

Map: CT River Watershed - Terrestrial and Aquatic Cores
-
DRAFT Maps for illustrative purposes only. Side by side maps of the entire Connecticut River Watershed. These maps show (1) potential terrestrial cores contrasting the slicing vs. the kernel approach and (2) a preliminary example of how the aquatic cores might look. Both are highly subject to change.
-
Map: CT River Watershed - Terrestrial Core Areas
-
DRAFT Maps for illustrative purposes only. Side by side maps of the entire Connecticut River Watershed. Two methods of creating core terrestrial areas are shown: the continuously scaled draft selection index and the kernel-expansion method in which the top 5% of the index (at left) is used as seeds to grow core areas until 30% of the landscape is represented.
-
Map: CT River Watershed - Stream Temperature, Rare Systems
-
DRAFT Maps for illustrative purposes only. Side by side maps of the entire Connecticut River Watershed. Headwater stream temperature sensitivity (USGS) and Rare Natural Communities are shown. These are two of the spatial datasets to be incorporated into the overall selection index for the conservation design.
-
Map: CT River Watershed - Combined IEI, Resiliency
-
DRAFT Maps for illustrative purposes only. Side by side maps of the entire Connecticut River Watershed. The Index of Ecological Integrity (UMass) and Resilient Sites for Terrestrial Conservation (The Nature Conservancy) are combined to highlight areas where these two indices align or diverge in their relative assessment of the landscape. These are two of the spatial datasets to be incorporated into the overall selection index for the conservation design.
