Data Needs / Data Architecture - Scope of Work: This is the scope of work prepared by Dr. Rob Baldwin of Clemson University to conduct a study to assess the data needs related to the Appalachian LCC region, assemble available data sets and post to AppLCC cloud server, and to design the appropriate data architecture to support the landscape-level conservation planning and modeling to achieve the stated vision of the AppLCC Partnership. (Do not distribute draft.)

Data Needs Assessment Presentation: Slides from Rob Baldwin's Presentation on the Appalachian LCC Data Needs Assessment project.

Data Needs Assessment Project Update: Rob Baldwin of Clemson University gives an overview on data needs assessment and an update on the Data Needs Assessment Project being conducted by his lab at Clemson University.

Data Sharing and the AppLCC Web Portal: Powerpoint presentation that describes the vision and functionality of the AppLCC web portal in regards to sharing and visualizing data.

Work Plan Section B Goal 1: Landscape-level Data Sharing Strategy and Scalable Toolset Goal.

Supporting Information from Other LCCs in NE and SE: AppLCC Staff have placed here information they gathered on approaches other LCCs in the NE and SE have taken to address RIs/SSs; including any RI or SS lists developed or drafted to date.

Priority Birds - AMJV revision underway March 2013: The Appalachian Mountain JV is beginning the process of updating the AMJV priority bird species list, which has not been updated since 2008. Their goal is to eventually create bird-habitat models for each priority species.

Resource Indicator Lists: Preliminary lists of Resource Indicators supplied to AppLCC by SALCC (and possibly others) for consideration during process of selecting RIs for AppLCC.

FWS Region-4 SALCC Natural Resource Indicators: The SALCC included the identification of "surrogate species" as part of its biological or natural resource indicators to support the planning and conservation at the landscape-level

FWS Region-5 NALCC Representative Species Approach: This folder contains background materials introducing the "representative species" approach Region-5 began prior to the formal adoption by the Service to promote a surrogate species approach (to inform landscape-level conservation.)

AppLCC Species Database: This access database includes a search feature which will easily query species by: State, LCC Global Trust, Common Name, Scientific Name, Habitat Type, or any combination of these.

AppLCC Global Trust Species - Lists for each State: Wildlife species considered an 'LCC Global Trust': listed by state (Excludes fish)

Species List & Habitat Association List: This folder contains a collection of species lists developed for the Appalachians from several different perspectives. The first 8 files are summary reports based on an Access database developed by the AppLCC. The underlying data exists elsewhere on the Portal as an Access Database and include listing by State. The database was developed from SWAP lists and FWS lists. The remaining lists are either earlier species lists developed by the AppLCC or species lists generated by partners. All of these are collected here to support development of a potential surrogate species list for the AppLCC.

FWS National Guidance on Surrogate Species: Background materials from the FWS in support of the use of surrogate species as part of the Service's commitment to Landscape Conservation and Strategic Habitat Conservation.

"MegaLinks" to RI/SS Decision Support Information: This file contains weblinks to a large number of resources from state and federal agencies' websites that could be used in support of decisions regarding the RI/SS process and/or consideration of potential RIs or SSs. Created by AppLCC Staff.

Working Documents - Merging RI/SS Approaches: Initial working documents developed to begin comparing the two approaches used to date for identification of Resource Indicators and Surrogate Species, and support decision-making on a way forward for the AppLCC.
