These data represent the extent of urbanization (for the year indicated) predicted by the model SLEUTH, developed by Dr. Keith C. Clarke, at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Department of Geography and modified by David I. Donato of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Eastern Geographic Science Center (EGSC). Further model modification and implementation was performed at the Biodiversity and Spatial Information Center at North Carolina State University

Pine and Prairie Birds This layer is an outdated version of one of the South Atlantic LCC indicators in the pine woodlands, savannas and prairies ecosystem. It is an index combining species distribution and census data for three pine and prairie bird species. This indicator was updated in Blueprint 2.1 to extend the Northern bobwhite and red-cockaded woodpecker data to new areas of the pine and prairie ecosystem map. Reason for Selection This species index represents the structure and function of pine ecosystems in the Southeast. Input Data The distribution of red-cockaded woodpecker ( Picoides borealis), Northern bobwhite ( Colinus virginianus), and Bachman's sparrow ( Aimophila aestivalis) are included in the...

Pine and Prairie Amphibians This layer is an outdated version of one of the South Atlantic LCC indicators in the pine woodland, savanna and prairie ecosystem. It captures Priority Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Areas in the pine and prairie ecosystem. This indicator was updated in Blueprint 2.1 to extend it to new areas of the pine and prairie ecosystem map. Reason for Selection Amphibians provide an indicator of the condition and arrangement of embedded isolated wetlands. Input Data South Atlantic LCC Priority Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Areas (PARCAs) served as input data for this indicator. PARCAs are a nonregulatory designation whose purpose is to raise public awareness and spark voluntary action...

Water-Vegetation Edge This layer is one of the South Atlantic LCC indicators in the estuarine ecosystem. It is an index capturing the length of the edge between open water and estuarine vegetation. Reason for Selection The density and abundance of shrimp, crab, fish, and other nekton are strongly correlated with the open water-vegetation edges (Minello et al. 2003). In a review of nekton species and coastal habitats, open water-vegetation edge was cited as having the second most dense nekton populations (i.e., first being submerged aquatic vegetation, or SAV) (Minello et al. 2003). In particular, the first 1 m of open water near wetlands is often noted as having the highest density of nekton (Minello and Rozas...
