Protecting southern Appalachian wildlife in an era of climate change
These materials are the results of a project conducted by the Open Space Institute in 2011. They include a project review presentation describing methodology, and species assessment results. The full assessment area, referred to as Research Region, includes most of the Cumberland - Southern Appalachian and portions of the Central Appalachian subregions. A second smaller assessment area, referred to as Research Subregion, is confined to southeastern Tennessee, northeastern Alabama, and northwestern Georgia. Species assessment results are provided in the NatureServe Climate Change Vulnerability Index (CCVI) tool as four separate spreadsheets: terrestrial species in Research Region, terrestrial species in Research Subregion, aquatic species in Research Region, and aquatic species in Research Subregion.
