1 EBTJV Project Overview  Riparian planting tool  Brook trout habitat patch layer

2 Riparian Planting Tool  Purpose  To help locate & prioritize locations where tree plantings would be most beneficial  Data  Canopy cover layer (30 M raster)  Solar radiation layer (30 M raster)  NHD+ Stream layer w/ 100 M buffer  End Product  Web-based GIS tool

3 Riparian Planting Tool  Web-tool features  User-specified threshold values % Canopy cover <= 70% % Rank of solar radiation >= 75%  User-specified spatial extent Select based on various geographic & hydrologic layers Maryland Brook trout habitat patch Makes ranking of solar radiation values more relevant

9 Riparian Planting Tool  Currently developing web-tool  Will be housed on Appalachian LCC website  Suggestions for new/improved features

10 Habitat Patch Layer  Purpose  To update initial brook trout assessment performed at the sub-watershed scale to the catchment scale  Data  NHD+ Catchment layer  State trout sampling data  Dams/Lakes layer  End Products  Brook trout habitat patch layer  NHD+ catchment layer w/ trout occurrence labels

11 Current Patch Layer  Current patch layer completed for PA south  Requested data from remaining states in April

12 State Data StateResponded to RequestSent Data ConnecticutYes MaineNo MassachusettsNo New HampshireYes New YorkYes OhioYes Rhode IslandNo VermontNo

13 Habitat Patch Layer  Currently writing script to automate process  Speed up analysis/reduce error Patches more numerous in northern states  Reproducable  Enable retrospective analysis Produce patch layers through time Quantify patch loss  Establish framework for future analyses Occupancy models Catchments assigned probability of having brook trout

14 Field Testing  Determine if “patch” is appropriate scale  Do large patches contain multiple populations  Sample patches over range of sizes Explain patch effective number of breeders (N b ) by patch size

15 Patch Size & Populations 10,880 Ha 1,217 Ha 3,807 Ha

16 Sampled Patches  Size range  509 to 11,570 Ha  Used sub- sampling strategy detailed in Whiteley et al 2012

17 Preliminary Patch N b Results Habitat remediation/Stable Summer flows Sympatric with Rainbow trout

18 VA Patches Sampled Patches Prioritized Patches Unsampled Patches

19 Field Testing Conclusions  Patch proper scale for brook trout management  Layer for entire brook trout range in development  N b predictive model appears feasible  Outliers have reasonable explanations  Continue to add patches & develop model

24 Brook Trout Patches Virginia Patches (n = 331) Average size = 1,541 ha Median size = 855 ha

25 N b -to-N e relationship  Used two FG YOY samples (2004, 2010)  Temporal N e (Wang & Whitlock 2003)  Estimated N e : 201.1  Single-sample estimated N b : 111.6  N e = g x N b = 1.91 x 111.6 = 213.2  g from Letcher et al. 2007
