Combined Zonation Results This layer depicts the mosaiced, rebalanced Zonation results for each subregion in Base Blueprint 2022.OVERALL APPROACHThe Base Blueprint indicators (available on the Blueprint page of the SECAS Atlas) were modeled at a 30 m resolution, tested and reviewed, and used as inputs to identify priority areas for a connected network of lands and waters. To aid in the modeling process, we first removed highly altered areas, like most developed areas, as well as reservoirs. Generally, these areas would not be prioritized in the Blueprint anyway.The indicators then served as inputs into Zonation, a conservation planning framework and software program that produces a hierarchical prioritization of the landscape. We ran Zonation...

In the northeastern US, such a list has served as a foundation for multi-state collaborations for conservation implementation.States in the Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (SEAFWA) region have identified 6,682 SGCN in their wildlife action plans. Collaboratively developing a more targeted list of regional SGCNs will reflect shared conservation values and stewardship responsibilities, encourage cross-state work on those priority species, and substantively contribute to realization of the Southeast Conservation...

It prioritizes areas for open pine conservation based on suitability for longleaf pine, feasibility of prescribed burning, proximity to protected lands, habitat suitability for focal bird species, and proximity to source bird populations. It originates from the East Gulf Coastal Plain Joint Venture’s prioritization of areas for open pine ecosystem restoration.Reason for SelectionOpen longleaf...

Natural shorelines in harder-to-develop coastal areas receive the highest shoreline condition scores, while hardened shorelines receive the lowest scores. This indicator originates from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Environmental Sensitivity Index dataset.Reason for SelectionHuman development along shorelines, along with jetties, groins, seawalls, revetments, and other structures, provide a measure of overall habitat alteration and shoreline condition. Human infrastructure along shorelines generally stabilizes barrier islands, impeding...

Since maritime forest has been substantially reduced from its historic extent, protecting the remaining acreage of existing maritime forest is important. It is also well monitored and resonates with a diversity of audiences.Input Data South Atlantic Blueprint 2021 extent Base Blueprint 2022 subregions LANDFIRE (Existing Vegetation Type), accessed 3/31/2021Mapping Steps Extract the LANDFIRE...

It originates from a U.S. Geological Survey project on an unvegetated to vegetated ratio for coastal wetlands.Reason for SelectionThreats like sea-level rise, erosion, and development are driving widespread salt marsh loss. Tidal marshes protect coastlines from storms, filter pollution to improve water quality, and provide important habitat for birds, fish, and shellfish. Studies show that the unvegetated-vegetated ratio (UVVR) of tidal marshes serves as a good surrogate for marsh degradation...

USFWS AGOL, biota, completed, environment, Fewer tags Assessment of the impacts of prescribed burning and forest restoration of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) ecosystems on water supply in the southeastern United States Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) ecosystems in the southeastern United States have declined substantially from an estimated 92 million acres in the pre-Columbian time period to 4.3 million acres at present, largely due to agricultural conversion, urbanization and replacement by other forest types, notably loblolly pine (Pinus taeda). The open landscape character of longleaf pine ecosystems is characterized by a lower carbon stocking and prairie-like understory dominated by grasses and low woody vegetation . Lower carbon stocking combined with greater drought tolerance in longleaf pine suggest that longleaf pine stands generally consume less water relative to loblolly pine and slash pine dominated stands.

It combines burned area layers from both U.S. Geological Survey Landsat data and the inter-agency Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity program. Landsat-based fire predictions within the range of longleaf pine are also available through Southeast FireMap.Reason for SelectionMany Southeastern ecosystems rely on regular, low-intensity fires to maintain habitat, encourage native plant growth, and reduce wildfire risk.
