Cave/Karst Resources Across the Appalachian LCC: A Visual Guide to Results PDF
-
This visual guide documents 18 months of work gathering and analyzing data on caves and karst resources in the Appalachian LCC. The maps and files provide a comprehensive overview of data available for examining relationships between environmental factors and biological diversity and distribution within karst areas in the region. This visual survey is intended to be a guide to what the researchers have accomplished, and a guide to what new questions and results would be interesting to end-users.

CCVA Fact Sheets: Forested Stream and / or Seepage
-
Forested Stream and/or Seepage
Forested stream environments are typically found in the buffer zones between forested land and stream banks, often
known as riparian zones. Stream headwaters and seepage areas occur where ground water percolates to the surface
through muck, mossy rock, and nettles. It can also be found under rocks, among gravel, or cobble where water has
begun to percolate in areas near open water. Breeding grounds are commonly found beneath mosses growing on
rocks, on logs, or soil surfaces in these types of seepage areas.
Predicted climate change will largely impact changes in temperature and moisture availability in forested stream
and/or seepage systems, likely having a cascading effect on a species habitat and increasing stress to many of these
species. The Appalachian LCC funded NatureServe to conduct vulnerability assessments on a suite of plants,
animals, and habitats within the Appalachians. These assessments can be used as an early warning system to alert
resource managers about changing conditions.
