  Designing Sustainable Landscapes: Representative Species Model: Black Bear (Ursus americanus)

  William V. DeLuca

  Black bear 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 generally comprise of wetlands, early successional forests and mature hard mast-producing forests.

Therefore, it is unlikely that the northeast will experience climate conditions outside of this range by 2080. Prevalence is also not used for black bear LC due its extensive range in North America and the lack of broad scale occupancy data.

  Data for "Evaluating California's Housing Element Law, Housing Equity, and Housing Production (1990-2007)"

  Darrel Ramsey-Musolf

  Since 1969, California’s Housing Element Law has required that municipalities address housing equity and housing production. In California, housing equity means that a municipality has planned for the future production of low-income housing that is priced from 0 to 120% of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s median family income, and market-rate housing that is priced higher than 121%. For a purposive sample of municipalities (Sacramento and Los Angeles regions, 1990 to 2007, n = 53), this research found that as compliance with the law increased, the sample experienced deficient low-income housing production but surplus market-rate housing production. Mixed-effects models indicated that compliant municipalities were associated not only with increased low-income housing production but also with decreased annual housing production in comparison to noncompliant municipalities. While these associations contrast with Lewis, they suggest that municipal compliance may support California’s goal of providing housing equity but may also constrain California’s overall housing production.
