Abstract: We developed three black bear ( Ursus americanus) habitat models in the context of a geographic information system to identify linkage areas across a major transportation corridor. One model was based on empirical habitat... more
The species composition and richness of the summer riparian vegetation of four small streams in the nonglaciated Allegheny Plateau of northwestern Pennsylvania (Forest, Warren and McKean Counties) were examined. The arboreal... more
Assessing the impacts of projects that affect aquatic resources is an integral part of regulatory programs. The time, resource, and technical requirements of existing assessment methods often prohibit their routine use by regulatory... more
