This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most effective tool for conservation of biodiversity is high quality information on the extent and status of species and their habitats. To guide that conservation, the National Gap Analysis Program (GAP) has been working to develop thematically rich land cover that can be used to assess the conservation status of native plant communities and as a basis for modeling the predicted distributions of species. In this research our goal was to integrate methods for developing a high quality land cover map using change detection, as the basis for monitoring plant communities and species habitats over time. We mapped the Ecological Systems of the Onslow Bight, NC using Landsat TM satellite imagery and ancillary datasets (e.g., soils). We tested the application of decision tree modeling for mapping 6 forested systems and used image objects map managed evergreen stands. A total of 42 land cover classes were mapped with an overall accuracy of 77% and a kappa statistic of .75. We then mapped the amount and type of land cover change between 1992 and 2001 using Change Vector Analysis. Change was mapped on 13% of the landscape, with an overall accuracy of 95% and a kappa statistic of .75. Using the 1992 and 2001 land cover maps we modeled the predicted distribution of 141 vertebrate species for both dates. The species had been identified by either the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission in their State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP, 125 species) or by Partners in Flight (PIF, 40 species) as priority species in need of conservation action. We quantified change between the two dates and provide summaries by species and agency list. Finally we quantified the overlap in the hotspots for the predicted distributions and the existing conservation network. Sixty-eight percent of the existing managed lands in the Onslow Bight co-occur with hotspot areas for SWAP and PIF, while only 44% of the landscape met those criteria.

Book excerpt: The North Carolina Coastal Region Evaluation of Wetland Significance is a watershed and landscape-based wetlands functional assessment model that uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software and GIS-based data to assess the level of water quality, wildlife habitat, and hydrologic functions of individual wetlands and the potential risk to watershed integrity if those wetlands were 'lost' by evaluating 39 separate characteristics of the wetland and its watershed.

This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For some years, The Nature of North Carolina's Southern Coast has stood as an essential resource for all who treasure our coastal environment. In this book, Dirk Frankenberg describes the southern coast's beaches, inlets, and estuaries and instructs readers in the responsible exploration and enjoyment of some of North Carolina's most precious natural areas. From Ocracoke Inlet to the South Carolina border, this field guide provides a close-up look at a complex ecosystem, highlighting the processes that have shaped, and continue to shape, North Carolina's southern coast. Frankenberg identifies over 50 different areas of interest along 180 miles of coastline and presents images to help identify natural processes, plants, and plant communities. In addition, he addresses threats to these fragile coastal areas and possible solutions for these threats. Tom Earnhart's new foreword brings the book up to date, helping us appreciate why a deeper understanding of this environment is crucial to its continued enjoyment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently, the prehistoric culture-history of the Coastal Plain has remained the least understood region in North Carolina due to a lack of known sites with stratified context and dateable components. Sites, such as Barber Creek (31PT259) and Squires Ridge (31ED365) situated along the Tar River, have archaeological data that can refine the region's stratigraphic sequence (Moore and Daniel 2011; Phelps 1983). The excavations at these two sites have established the presence of archaeological sequences dating from the Early Archaic to the Early/Middle Woodland (11,500-1,000 Cal. BP.). Previous studies (Daniel et al. 2013; Barbour 2014) have analyzed part of the stratigraphic sequence at Squires Ridge. The research presented here analyses additional data from Squires Ridge. In this study, the stratigraphic sequence in the northern was explored using artifact back-plot, artifact frequency distributions, and artifact refitting analyses from material recovered during the 2011-2012 field seasons. The results of this analysis confirms the presence of Early Archaic through Early/Middle Woodland occupations elsewhere on the site. Through the continued analysis of Squires Ridge, the culture history of the site as well as the North Carolina Coastal Plain as a region can be better understood.
