Designing Sustainable Landscapes: Representative Species Model: American Oystercatcher (Haematopus palliatus)
Abstract
American Oystercatcher was selected as a representative species for the Designing Sustainable Landscapes project of the North Atlantic LCC (https://scholarworks.umass.edu/designing_sustainable_landscapes/). The habitat clusters (ecological systems) and associated wildlife species that it represents are marine intertidal rocky coasts, mudflats and sand throughout the NA LCC. The Landscape Capability (LC) index integrates habitat capability and climate suitability into a single index that reflects the relative capacity of a site to support the species.
