Frequently Asked Questions for NVC Users: *coming soon!*

The Panel is working on a document that answers the most frequent user questions that emerged from the 2012 Mid-career Managers NVC workshop that was held in Denver, CO.

NVC Factsheets:

Panel members, in conjunction with staff from federal agencies, have helped to produce a general NVC Factsheet, along with a factsheet series (*coming soon!*) on a number of topics, including:

  • How the NVC can adapt to changing environments and community composition through time;
  • How the NVC deals with semi-natural vegetation;
  • How the NVC can cross-walk to other systems; and
  • How NVC relates to the coastal marine classification, wetlands, and other standards.
