This data layer represents the Species Richness Priorities within PFLCC's Connectivity Priority Resource. The analysis was performed with the Connectivity Priority Resource data layer and the Species Richness layer in CLIP 4.0, which originally was part of FNAI's work for the Florida Forever program. For meta data for PFLCC's Connectivity Priority Resource plase see the data set of the same name. FWC Potential Habitat Richness - FWC also developed the potential habitat richness layer to identify areas of overlapping vertebrate species habitat. FWC created a statewide potential habitat model for each species included in their analysis. The Potential Habitat Richness layer includes the entire potential habitat model...

These data represent a potential Conservation Target (CT) for the Working Lands Priority Resource (PR) of the PFLCC. The potential Conservation Target shown in these data are Best Management Practices (BMP) for Wildlife. The BMPs are written for 16 Imperiled Species found in Florida. BMPs apply to both Forestry practices as well as other types of Agriculture. The data sets are maintained separately, however there are overlaps between the two data sets.

These data represent a potential Conservation Target for the Working Lands Priority Resource of the PFLCC. This potential Conservation Target, Florida Sandhill Crane, are the resident population of Florida. There is also a migratory population of Sandhill Cranes seen in Florida which are not included in these data and are not considered a species of conservation concern. The potential distribution of Florida Sandhill Cranes includes grasslands and open areas within 3 km of wetlands suitable for foraging. Where the potential distribution corresponds to the Working Lands PR indicates wetlands are in the vicinity. Although Working Lands are an important component of these birds remaining habitat in Florida, there...

This map represents a potential Conservation Target (CT) for PFLCC's 'Pine Flatwoods and Dry Prairie' (PFDP) Priority Resource (PR). The potential CT is 'Dry Prairie Bird Index.' The birds included in this index are: Florida Grasshopper Sparrow, Burrowing Owl, and Crested Caracara. These layers were created for an initial investigation of potential CT's suggested by stakeholders during brainstorming workshops. The initial investigation entails locating available datasets to address the suggested CT as closely as possible and performing minimal analyses to determine their usefulness. The final set of CT's and their associated datasets will be chosen after targets (e.g., endpoints) are established as a threshold for...

Terrestrial-based planning units of 1 kilometer (km) hexagons. There are about 600,000 units populated with conservation targets from around the Appalachian region. One of the targets included is the optimization from the Aquatics-only target scenario. The tables include summaries of information within each catchment including predictor variables.

These data represent a potential Conservation Target (CT) of PFLCC's Priority Resource (PR) "Connectivity." This layer shows the overlap of PFLCC's Connectivity Priority Resource (PR) with Florida's Priority Ecological Areas (PEAs), representing the quality of hubs in the PR. The number and configuration of hubs is a potential conservation target for this PR. PEAs are areas of statewide ecological significance that are based on established GIS data for identifying areas important for conserving biodiversity and ecosystem services. PEAs are the base building block of the Florida Ecological Greenways Network that are used to help identify large, intact, and potentially functionally connected natural and semi-natural...

This layer shows the results for aninitial analysis of the Connectivity potential Conservation Target for the Freshwater Forested Wetlands Priority Resource (PR) using the CLIP 4.0 Landscape Integrity layer. CLIP 4.0 Landscape Integrity Layer The Landscape Integrity layer comprises an average of two related landscape indices that assess ecological integrity based on 1) land use intensity and 2) patch size of natural communities and semi-natural land uses. The land use intensity index characterizes the intensity of land use based on five general categories, ranging from natural to high intensity development. The patch size index combines the land use data with major roads data (4+ lanes and/or high traffic roads)...

This map represents a potential Conservation Target (CT) for PFLCC's 'Pine Flatwoods and Dry Prairie' (PFDP) Priority Resource (PR). The potential CT is 'Open Pine Bird Index.'The birds included in this index are: Bachman's Sparrow, Northern Bobwhite, and Red-cockaded Woodpecker. These layers were created for an initial investigation of potential CT's suggested by stakeholders during brainstorming workshops. The initial investigation entails locating available datasets to address the suggested CT as closely as possible and performing minimal analyses to determine their usefulness. The final set of CT's and their associated datasets will be chosen after targets (e.g., endpoints) are established as a threshold for...

This data layer represents the priority rare species and habitats that lie with PFLCC's Connectivity Priority Resource. The analysis was performed with the Florida Natural Areas Inventory's (FNAI) Florida Habitat model that was designed to identify areas important for species habitat based on both species rarity and richness -- FNAI mapped occurrence-based potential habitat for 281 species of plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates, including aquatic species. The metadata for PFLCC's Connectivity Priority Resource can be found in the map of the same name. The FNAIHAB model was designed to identify areas important for species habitat based on both species rarity and species richness. FNAI mapped occurrence-based...

The data layer represents a potential Conservation Target (CT) for PFLCC's Connectivity Priority Resource(PR). The potential Conservation Target is the quality of the connections of the PR. The analysis on the Connectivity Priority Resource was performed using the Local Connectedness core layer of the Nature Conservancy's Resiliency Project. The Local Connectedness is an evaluation of the Land Use and Roads around each pixel to determine the resistance to movement of microhabitats across the landscape in the advent of local climate change. Reported metrics, however, reflect the opposite of resistance, instead the permeability of the landscape and are reported as Z-scores around the regional mean index value. ...

This layer shows the results for the initial analysis of the potential Conservation Target, Connectivity, for the High Pine and Scrub Priority Resource (PR). Two datasets were used in this exploration of Connectivity: CLIP 4.0 Greenways and the Local Connectedness layer, one of the core datasets in the Nature Conservancy's Resiliency Project. Each dataset provides a slightly different aspect of Connectivity. Each one of the potential data layers was masked using the PR raster to result in a spatial data layer of values within High Pine and Scrub PR. Further information on these analyses can be found in the High Pine and Scrub Initial Investigation of Conservation Targets webinar (pdf) found in this gallery. Inputs:...

These data represent a potential Conservation Target for Working Lands (WL) Priority Resource of the PFLCC. The potential Conservation Target is fire regime, an important factor for maintaining some types of forestry and agriculture. At this time, the USGS Landfire data set is the only available spatial data that indicate fire status of an area. Landfire data are intended for use in larger contexts that Florida working lands unless additional efforts are made to refine data for a smaller area. In our situation, landfire is an interim data set only because a refined fire database is currently in development for Florida. The refined database will be based on both burn permit records as well as remote sensing and...

This data layer represents a potential Conservation Target (CT) for PFLCC's Priority Resource (PR): High Pine and Scrub. The potential CT shown here is the Florida Scrub Jay. The Florida Scrub Jay is the only species of bird that is unique to Florida. Scrub Jays are cooperative breeders that inhabitat the highest and driest areas of Florida -- xeric oak scrub and scrubby flatwoods. They do best in areas with large quantities of oak shrubs that average 3-6.5 feet. The Florida Scrub Jay is a federally threatened species. The Primary threats are habitat destruction, fragmentation, and degradation from development and agriculture. As an important species of the scrub portion of this PR, it may be an important Conservation...
