Maps
Three maps are generated to so the total predicted and observed species per area
- total taxa ( combined predicted and observed)
- total taxa observed
- total taxa predicted
This map looks at the unique taxa between the prediction and observed datasets and provides a full list. This will be the highest number of species of any map.
This map highlights the number of unique taxa observed within each geography. Every observation indicates a reported ground observation of the species.
This map highlights the number of unique taxa predicted within each geography. Only a single cell of the potential distribution needs to be in area.
Data summaries
Two files were create to summarize the presence of theses species in the specific management areas
The left move column is the taxon of interest.
The column to the right contain the names or unique identifiers of specific forest service areas.
Area relationship summaries
The following files shows the spatial relationship between the various levels of management. Regions, Admin, and National Forest and Grasslands have unique files.
The centroid of the largest polygon associate with each area was used to determine the higherachical relationship.
Assumptions about hierarchy
Regions : contain (admin, forest and grasslands, research natural areas, experimental forests, wilderness, botanical areas)
Admin : contian (forest and grasslands, research natural areas, experimental forests, wilderness, botanical areas)
forest and grasslands : contain (research natural areas, experimental forests, wilderness, botanical areas)
