Workspaces
Welcome to the Workspaces, an area where we support collaborative work for various communities. These communities range from working groups within our network, project groups, Communities of Practice or Species Specific groups with experts and concerned individuals working towards a common conservation goal related to a species or habitat.
These workspaces offer a platform to enhance workflow and facilitate efficient sharing of ideas, datasets, products, publications, and more with others who have similar interests or missions. The workspaces bring together a diverse set of individuals and expertise to promote dialogue and coordination. If you have any questions, please reach out to the admin at info@landscapepartnership.org.
You can join a workspace, request to create a new space, and browse through the workspaces below.

Forests & Grasslands Workspace
This space is reserved for the scientific community of practice (COP) with interests focused on forests and grasslands. All folders and content within this Work Space are private and can only be seen by registered members of the group. If you wish to participate in active discussions and information sharing, you can join this COP by clicking on the "Join a Group" button on the top right.
Riparian Restoration Team
Provision of shade via riparian restoration is a well-established management adaptation strategy to mitigate against temperature increases in streams. Effective use of this strategy depends upon accurately identifying vulnerable, unforested riparian areas in priority coldwater stream habitats. The RPCCR is a web-based tool currently under development which is designed to allow managers to rapidly identify these high-priority riparian restoration targets. The objective of this project is to complete development of the RPCCR, link it with the Appalachian LCC website, and integrate it with ongoing stream temperature monitoring and modeling efforts within the Northeast Climate Science Center (NECSC) and participating Landscape Conservation Cooperatives.
Aquatic Systems Workspace
This space is reserved for the scientific community of practice (COP) with interests focused on Aquatic Systems, to include members of Fish Habitat Partnerships, fish Joint Ventures, other formal organizations with similar expertise (e.g. Trout Unlimited biologists, Freshwater Mollusk Conservation Society) and additional non-member experts.

Freshwater Mollusks
This workspace was created to help facilitate collaboration and cooperation among all groups and individuals that are engaged in the conservation, the commercial use, and the study of freshwater mollusks, Appalachia’s most imperiled animals. All folders and content within this Work Space are private and can only be seen by registered members of the group. Membership in this workspace is open to anyone interested in freshwater mollusks who supports the stated purposes of this group, which are as follows: 1) Advocate conservation of freshwater molluscan resources, 2) Serve as a conduit for information about freshwater mollusks, 3) Promote science-based management of freshwater mollusks, and 4) Promote and facilitate education and awareness about freshwater mollusks and their function in freshwater ecosystems.

Aquatic Ecological Flows Team
The emergence of hydraulic fracturing has led to the rapid expansion of natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale deposit in portions of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Millions of gallons of water are needed per fracturing event and will likely put a substantial strain on regional surface and ground water supplies, as well as lead to changes in stream flow that may alter available habitat for freshwater biodiversity and other ecological processes in adjacent freshwater ecosystems. There is a great need for the development of region-wide flow policies to protect stream ecosystems and enhance long-term management of aquatic resources. To that end, this project will develop model(s) that predict ecological responses to flow alteration within the Marcellus Shale region of the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC).
