This dataset represents areas the Final Resilience Scores with for all study regions for terrestrial and coastal scores. The base resilience result is resilience stratified by ecoregion. We then added in an override to capture the most resilient areas in each setting within each ecoregion to arrive at a final resilience score. <\/SPAN><\/P>

For detail on the methods please see individual region reports. Here is a short summary of the methods.<\/SPAN><\/P>

First, we divided the study area into ten natural ecoregions. Then within each ecoregion we:<\/SPAN><\/P>

Identified distinct environments based on their bedrock or surficial geology.<\/SPAN><\/P>

  • Mapped areas that have a high diversity of microclimates based on their topography and wetlands.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI>

  • Mapped areas that were highly connected by natural cover.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI>

  • Within each ecoregion, we combined these datasets to identify the places with the highest resilience for each distinct environment based on their landscape diversity and local connectedness.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI><\/UL>

    The areas with high resilience represent natural strongholds for biodiversity because they contain many microclimates in a highly connected area which creates climate options for species allowing them to persist. All scores are relative to the ecoregion and type of environment assessed. <\/SPAN><\/P>

    For the coastal sites we also calculated a coastal resilience score. Coastal sites vary widely in their ability to accommodate rising seas, based on inherent natural features and the degree of human influence on key ecological processes. Scientists from The Nature Conservancy evaluated over coastal sites for their capacity to sustain biodiversity and natural services under increasing inundation from sea level. Each site received a resilience \u201cscore\u201d based on the likelihood that its coastal habitats can and will migrate to adjacent lowlands. <\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "geometryType": null, "copyrightText": "The Nature Conservancy reserves all rights in data provided.
