Texas Ecological Systems Classification

Ecological systems classification for Texas will be produced by first classifying the existing vegetation, and then modeling the ecological systems by overlaying data such as land position, slope, aspect, and soil type.

The Imperiled Coldwater Crayfish (Orconectes eupunctus) in the Black River Drainage of Missouri and Arkansas

MoRAP will work with the Missouri Department of Conservation and the Arkansas Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit to gather and quantify both natural and anthropogenic data relative to the distribution of the Coldwater Crayfish (Orconectes eupunctus) within the Spring River, Eleven Point, Strawberry River and lower Black River drainages.

Vegetation Mapping for National Park Service-Phase 1

This project is part of a nation-wide effort by NPS to provide fine-resolution current vegetation maps for all NPS lands.  Maps will be based on quantitative field data, analyses, and georeferenced polygons that circumscribe community types developed from photointerpretation.
