The Gulf Coastal Plains & Ozarks Landscape Conservation Cooperative Opportunity

[mke...@westga.edu]

Program Description: The Gulf Coastal Plains & Ozarks Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GCPO LCC) is a non-regulatory conservation partnership comprised of private, state, and federal organizations and agencies that have come together to collectively define, design, and deliver landscapes capable of sustaining natural and cultural resources at desired levels now and into the future.

 

Quantification and Evaluation of Relationship between Species and Landscape Endpoints for Priority Systems As part of its mission to define and design landscapes capable of sustaining natural and cultural resources at desired levels, the GCPO LCC’s Adaptation Science Management Team has identified landscape and species endpoints that define desired ecological states for priority habitat types. Appendix 3 of the Integrated Science Agenda documents hypothetical relationships between these landscape and species endpoints, which will be used to guide conservation design across the GCPO LCC region. The GCPO LCC is committed to an adaptively evaluating and improving these relationships and is seeking projects under this topic that develop and/or evaluate potential models for one or many of the species-habitat relationships identified in Appendix 3 of the GCPO LCC’s Integrated Science Agenda.

 

Projects focused on establishing flow-ecology relationships in aquatic systems are of particular – though not exclusive – interest. Funds available: Up to $350,000 is available to fund one or more projects within this theme.
