Prioritization for maintenance of intact habitat (i.e., habitat quality rating of Good or Very Good), based on local scale ecological integrity, degree of threats faced, potential conservation opportunities, and conservation value of surrounding landscape. In contrast to ecological integrity ratings; threat, opportunity and landscape rankings are largely based on the range of values of any given indicator across the geography, sorted by quantile. There are some exceptions, particularly for indicators used to develop threat rankings (e.g., urban development risk).Prioritization for restoration of degraded habitat (i.e., habitat quality rating of Fair or Poor), based on local scale ecological integrity, potential...
This report summarizes the methods and results of utilizing the Edwards to Gulf Conservation Blueprint to achieve specific tasks for various conservation entities. The goal of this effort is to provide real world examples of the use of our spatial products to ensure that stakeholders understand how to use and incorporate the blueprint into their own decision-making processes. This report covers a suite of demonstration projects that illustrate a variety of tasks likely to be of interest to the broader stakeholder community. These include using the habitat protection rankings to prioritize areas within a predefined focal area within the Edwards to Gulf region (Figure 1), mapping a route of least impact for a proposed...

The spatial products described here prioritize different types of conservation actions for six broadly defined habitats (Table 1-1; Appendix Table A-1). We identified these habitat types as the conservation targets of the Edwards to Gulf Landscape Conservation Design (LCD) through a participatory process (Tarbox et al. 2018). We then conducted a viability assessment of each conservation target by identifying their key ecological attributes (KEAs), and appropriate indicators. We then assessed the status of KEAs to determine the ecological integrity of each habitat type (FOS 2013). For further information on the development of ecological integrity ratings, please see our other document (Tarbox et al. 2019).

This project will be conducted in 6 phases:Phase 1: Formulation - Compile a list of all interested stakeholders; work with Foundations of Success facilitators to provide background information, project goals, expectations and deliverables in preparation for Phase 2.Phase 2: Convening - facilitated webinars and face-to-face meetings among stakeholders; establishment of a core team of experts to guide the LCD process; draft conceptual model, conservation strategies,Phase 3: Draft blueprint for Focus Area - conduct spatial analysis to develop a draft ecological-social/political/economic blueprint for the Focus AreaPhase 4: Re-convening for review of Draft Blueprint and Decision Support Tool - The draft conservation...

Applications and Tools,
Ecological integrity of priority habitats was based on degree of local human development, amount and local connectivity of habitat, and quality of habit. Indicators were selected to reflect the needs of focal species, as well as other key ecological attributes of these habitats. Ecological integrity was estimated for floodplain forests, freshwater wetlands, human development, major rivers, rice agriculture, tallgrass prairie, and tidal wetlands.Ratings of each indicator are based on a viability assessment conducted following the Open Standards framework. Indicators with ratings of Good or Very Good are within the acceptable range of natural variation (with Good suggesting some management may be needed to get the...
The Edwards to Gulf Conservation Blueprint represents a participatory effort to develop a suite of decision support tools that facilitate cooperation between conservation partners in the region. The blueprint was created in a transparent and iterative process, building upon a previously existing coarse filter blueprint to generate a fine filter by increasing the spatial resolution, and number and variety of indicators used. This iteration of the blueprint focused on a subset of habitats within the region (floodplain forests, freshwater wetlands, major rivers, rice agriculture, tallgrass prairie, and tidal wetlands), with an emphasis on rpomoting conservation of focal species identified by the Gulf Coast Prairie...

This geodatabase contains inputs used in creating the Edwards to the Gulf Conservation Blueprint. These datasets include county boundaries, HUC12 watersheds, project boundary, open water extent, protected areas, and shallow water oyster reefs.
The spatial products described here rate the ecological integrity of six broadly defined habitats (Table 1-1; Appendix Table A-1). We selected these habitats as conservation targets for the Edwards to Gulf Landscape Conservation Design (LCD) through a participatory process (Tarbox et al. 2018). We then conducted a viability assessment of each habitat by identifying their key ecological attributes (KEAs), and appropriate indicators. We assessed the status of KEAs to determine the ecological integrity of each habitat type (FOS 2013). We selected KEAs by prioritizing the needs of relevant focal species (Table 1-1). The Gulf Coast Prairie Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) selected focal species for a geography...

Prioritization for protection of habitat (via acquisition or easements), based on local scale ecological integrity, degree of threats faced, potential conservation opportunities, and conservation value of surrounding landscape. In contrast to ecological integrity ratings; threat, opportunity and landscape rankings are largely based on the range of values of any given indicator across the geography, sorted by quantile. There are some exceptions, particularly for indicators used to develop threat rankings (e.g., urban development risk). EEMS is a tree-based, fuzzy logic modeling system, where output values range from -1 to +1, indicating whether a given output is entirely FALSE or TRUE, respectively. Indicators with...
