Resilience concerns the ability of a living system to adjust to climate change, moderate potential damages, take advantage of opportunities, or cope with consequences; in short, the capacity to adapt. The Nature Conservancy’s resilience analysis develops an approach to conserve biological diversity while allowing species and communities to rearrange in response to a continually changing climate. See more at: http://nature.org/TNCResilience. In the Resilient and Connected Network analysis, sites and linkages between them identified by the combination of resilience, flow, and biodiversity were integrated into a single network. The network is designed to represent resilient examples with all the characteristic physical environments of the region while maximizing the amount of diversity contained within in them and the natural flow that connects them. By building the network around the natural pathways that allow species populations to shift and then identifying representative resilient sites situated within those pathways, the network is specifically configured to sustain biological diversity while allowing nature to adapt and change.
The Resilient and Connected Landscapes analysis was tailored to regions based on input from regional steering committees that modified factors to capture local ecological functions important to each region. This national dataset is directly derived from the 9 regional datasets and care should be taken to understand the different methods in each of the regions. |
