Ecological systems [updated 3/7/2017] --This document provides a summary of our use of ecological systems as an organizational framework for portions of the model. Here, we briefly introduce the concept of ecological systems and the challenges of using them as an organizational framework, and then briefly outline four alternatives (that we considered) for their use in the model, including a summary of the advantages and disadvantages of each, and the final adopted alternative.

Designing Sustainable Landscapes Project Technical Documents
Climate [updated 5/9/2018] -- This document describes how we model climate change. More specifically, this document describes the source of the climate change data that we are using and the methods we are applying to downscale the data to meet our needs.

Designing Sustainable Landscapes Project Technical Documents
Species [updated 3/7/2017] -- This document describes our species-based assessment based on the concept of landscape capability for a suite of representative species. Here, we define landscape capability and the methods used to measure each component for each species. In addition, here we link to detailed documentation of the landscape capability model developed for each representative species.

Integrity [updated 3/7/2017] -- This document describes our coarse filter assessment based on the concept of landscape ecological integrity. Here, we define ecological integrity and the four major components of integrity that we quantify: intactness, resiliency, ecosystem diversity and adaptive capacity, and describe the various indices used to quantify each component.
Designing Sustainable Landscapes: Modeling Connectivity, Kevin Mcgarigal, Brad Compton, Ethan Plunkett, Bill Deluca, Joanna Grand

Designing Sustainable Landscapes Project Technical Documents
Connectivity [updated 3/7/2017] -- This document describes our local and regional connectivity assessment. Here, we define several connectivity concepts and how they are being used in the LCAD model, with particular attention to measurement of local and regional conductance, irreplaceability and vulnerability.

Designing Sustainable Landscapes Project Technical Documents
Project overview [updated 3/17/2017] -- This 50-page document is intended to serve as a general description of the DSL project, including an overview of our approach to meeting the project goals and objectives. This is the "one document to rule them all" and THE document to read to get a pretty good picture of the DSL project and our LCAD model and the various data products produced. This document is fairly detailed, but makes references to other more detailed documents (see below) that provide the technical details of our modeling approach. It is highly recommended that you read this document …
