1 Designing Sustainable Landscapes in the Northeast A project of the North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative & Northeast Climate Science Center June, 2014
2 Adaptive Establish Conservation Goals & Objectives Adjust ConNet Evaluate ConNet Ecological Socio-cultural Economic Monitor ConNet Design ConNet Implement ConNet
3 Design Steps: Current focus 1. Select (tiered) core areas 2. Create core area buffers 3. Prioritize within buffered cores 4. Assess connectivity among cores 5. Prioritize among core areas 6. Prioritize among linkages 7. Prioritize within linkages 8. Identify restoration opportunities 9. Determine management needs Field verification at all steps Socio-cultural and economic considerations at all steps
4 1. Select (tiered) core areas Three scenarios: Ecosystem approach (coarse filter) based solely on ecosystem conditions Species approach based solely on focal species considerations Combined ecosystem-species approach based on the complement of ecosystems and species
5 Q1. TNC resiliency vs DSL IEI?
6 Landscape Assessment Ecological integrity Ecological integrity is a multi-faceted and multi-scale concept comprised of several inter-related components that operate at multiple scales (in space and time) Ecological integrity refers to the capability of an area to sustain ecological functions; in particular, the ability to support biodiversity and the ecosystem processes necessary to sustain biodiversity over the short and long term, especially in the face of disturbance and stress.
7 Landscape Assessment Local ecological integrity An integral site is intact, highly connected and resilient Intactness refers to the freedom from human impairment (anthropogenic stressors) Connectivity refers to the propensity to conduct ecological flows (including individuals) across the landscape Resiliency refers to the capacity to recover from or adapt to disturbance and stress
8 Landscape Assessment Local ecological integrity Resiliency is a complex, multi-faceted concept comprised of several inter-related components that operate at multiple scales (in space and time) Similarity refers to the ecological similarity of the neighborhood Connectedness refers to the ecological similarity and accessibility of the neighborhood Ecosystem diversity refers to the ecological diversity of the neighborhood Adaptive capacity refers to the ecological diversity and accessibility of the neighborhood Short term Long term
9 Landscape Assessment Local ecological integrity An integral site is intact, highly connected and resilient Resiliency Local Integrity Intactness Stressors Short term Similarity Connectedness Long term Ecosystem diversity Adaptive capacity TNC Connectivity IEI* *current version
10 Q1. TNC resiliency vs DSL IEI? Technical comparison Components: Landscape complexity: f(landform variety, elevation variability, wetland density), 30 m resolution Connectedness: static, natural vs developed, 90m resolution Components: Stressor metrics: 19 metrics, terrestrial vs aquatic, kernels, 30 m resolution Similarity Connectedness: dynamic, unique settings, 30m resolution
11 Q1. TNC resiliency vs DSL IEI? Scaling of index 26 classes in CTR; 1000 acre hexagons 44 macrogroups in CTR; 30m cells
12 Q1. TNC resiliency vs DSL IEI? TNC resiliency emphasizes connectivity with diverse geophysical settings DSL IEI emphasizes intactness and connectivity with similar ecological settings TNC resiliency is scaled by coarse-grained geophysical settings (geology and elevation) DSL IEI is scale by fine-grained ecological systems (macrogroup level)
13 Q1. TNC resiliency vs DSL IEI? Scaling of index

26 Design Steps: 1. Select (tiered) core areas 2. Create core area buffers 3. Prioritize within buffered cores 4. Assess connectivity among cores 5. Prioritize among core areas Current 6. Prioritize among linkages focus 7. Prioritize within linkages 8. Identify restoration opportunities 9. Determine management needs Field verification at all steps Socio-cultural and economic considerations at all steps
27 4. Assess connectivity among terrestrial core areas
28 4. Assess connectivity among core areas a) Build random low cost paths between cores
29 5. Prioritize among core areas Node importance index Based on node contribution to the probability of connectivity (PC) of the network
30 6. Prioritize among linkages Link importance index Based on link contribution to the probability of connectivity (PC) of the network
31 6. Prioritize among linkages Link importance index Based on link contribution to the probability of connectivity (PC) of the network
32 7. Prioritize within linkages Conductance index Irreplaceability index Vulnerability index Relative probability of flow through a call (function of local resistance, node size, quality and proximity)
33 7. Prioritize within linkages Conductance index Irreplaceability index Vulnerability index Relative concentration of paths through a call (function of local resistance and path irreplaceability)
34 7. Prioritize within linkages Conductance index Irreplaceability index Vulnerability index Relative probability of developing an irreplaceable cells that has a high relative probability of use Under Development

42 8. Identify restoration opportunities Road passage structures Road-stream crossings Dams Wetland/forest restoration (phase 3) Best on Route 7 between Best 20 in MA Mount Greylock and Brodie Mountain
43 8. Identify restoration opportunities Road passage structures Road-stream crossings Dams Wetland/forest restoration (phase 3)
44 8. Identify restoration opportunities Road passage structures Road-stream crossings Dams Wetland/forest restoration (phase 3)
45 9. Determine management needs (and prioritize within core areas, buffers and corridors) Are there habitat management needs for particular species? If so, what are they and where should they occur? Is this best handled outside of the conservation design??
46 Key Decisions: 1. Terrestrial buffer-core area selection and delineation a) Slice or algorithmic approach? b) Size and configuration (min size; fewer larger vs more smaller)? c) Spread barriers? d) CTR vs HUC8 (or other) scaling? 2. Aquatic buffer-core area selection and delineation? a) What spatial units to use? b) What method for delineating buffers? 3. How much area to allocate to buffer-cores? 4. What s the best way to display the core area results?
