Abstract
Spacially explicit identification of changes in ecological conditions over large areas is key to targeting and prioritizing areas for environmental protection and restoration by managers at watershed, basin and regional scales. A critical limitation to this point has been the development of methods to conduct such broad-scale assessments. This study demonstrates the application of spacially distributed models for bird habitat quality and nitrogen yield to streams to assess the consequences of landcover change across the Mid-Atlantic Region between the 1970s and 1990s. It also presents a way to evaluate spacial concordance between models related to different environmental endpoints. Results of this study should help environmental managers in the Mid-Atlantic Region target those areas in need of conservation and protection.
