Unaltered Beach This layer is an outdated version of one of the South Atlantic LCC indicators in the beach and dune ecosystem. It is an index of altered beaches capturing impacts from hardened structures like jetties, groins, and infrastructure. This indicator was updated in Blueprint 2.2 to incorporate more recent data from the Coastal Barrier Resources System, which is used to set the boundaries of undeveloped beaches. The updated indicator was also extended to new areas of the beach and dune ecosystem map. Reason for Selection Altered beaches (including human developments along shorelines, jetties, groins, seawalls, revetments, and other structures) provide a measure of overall habitat alteration. Human infrastructure...

Forested Wetland Birds This layer is one of the South Atlantic LCC indicators in the forested wetland ecosystem. It is an index of habitat suitability for six forested wetland bird species. Reason for Selection This index represents a variety of ecosystem features and is already being modeled and monitored for the entire region by the Atlantic Coast Joint Venture. Input Data -- Select models from the Designing Sustainable Landscapes avian habitat project: Black-throated green warbler (bBTNW) Chuck-will’s widow (bCWWI) Northern parula (bNOPA) Red-headed woodpecker (bRHWO) Prothonotary warbler (bPROW) Swainson’s warbler (bSWWA) --Southeast GAP species models Mapping Steps The index of forested wetland birds is...

This map contains multiple layers related to the draft corridors in Blueprint 2.2 Inland Hubs These are the hubs used in the Linkage Mapper-based connectivity analysis for the inland portion of the South Atlantic area in Blueprint 2.2. Input Data -- Ecosystem scores from Zonation for all inland ecosystems (beach and dune, estuarine marsh, forested wetland, freshwater marsh, maritime forest, pine and prairie, upland hardwood) -- The Nature Conservancy’s (TNC) Resilient Land Project -- TNC's Secured Lands Database (External Eastern Division 2014) Mapping Steps 1) Individual ecosystem integrity scores (Zonation outputs) for the inland ecosystems (beach and dune, estuarine marsh, forested wetland, freshwater marsh,...
