The document discusses developing a way to count biological observations and sites of sensitive and special status species on US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management land. There are two separate databases—BLM's GeoBOB and USFS's NRM—that need to be standardized and analyzed. The task is broken into three conceptual phases: extract and standardize the data, analyze the standardized data, and visualize the analysis. While finding the general approach is the "easy problem", dealing with documentation, requirements, and other details is the "real problem" that requires an iterative design-build process using exploratory workspaces and consulting subject matter experts.

The document discusses the Coastal Change Analysis Program's (C-CAP) efforts to develop higher spatial resolution land cover data along coastal areas in the United States. C-CAP produces land cover maps every five years at 30m resolution as an extension of the National Land Cover Database. To meet demands for more detailed local data, C-CAP has partnered with private industry since 2006 to produce maps at resolutions as high as 1m. Finer resolution data is needed for small geographic areas, detailed extraction of land cover components, and site-specific analysis. C-CAP's high resolution mapping uses segmentation and object-based image analysis, as well as ancillary data like Lidar, to classify imagery at finer scales. Change detection

A terrestrial ecologist plays an important role in natural channel design by conducting background reviews, field surveys, and producing an existing conditions report prior to the design. This informs the selection of plant species for revegetation that are not rare, tolerate site conditions, and emulate natural assemblages. Timing windows must also be considered to avoid impacts to breeding birds, amphibians, and snakes. The ecologist helps determine existing constraints and ensures the design appropriately conserves natural features along the river.

Habitat Change Analysis Project
Presented by Patrick Woerner and John Reiser at the Northeast Arc Users Group, November 10, 2015.
Wildlife habitat change trend information is a necessary and fundamental component for successful assessment and management of wildlife species. Habitat loss and fragmentation continue to be the two most serious threats to wildlife populations. To effectively protect endangered and threatened species populations and to evaluate protection and management efforts, it is important for wildlife agencies to actively identify and monitor habitat for each listed species. New Jersey’s Division of Fish and Wildlife adopted a habitat change analysis approach to track wildlife habitat transition and fragmentation trends over time. The programmatic GIS analysis approach extracts potential habitat from available Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) data based on species habitat associations and range extents. The analysis spans four time periods between 1986 and 2012. Analysis outputs provide readily available, up-to-date, multi-level, species-specific habitat change information to support agency initiatives. Resulting maps and data serve as a guide to help prioritize work for particular species and their habitats and provide baseline information for the development of species status assessments and recovery plans. Outputs also provide a basis for additional analyses such as evaluating habitat change in regulated vs. unregulated areas, evaluating habitat conservation planning efforts, and other land-use planning, land management and preservation efforts.

Machine Learning, FOSS, and open data to map deforestation trends in the Braz...
Monitoring deforestation across the globe is important for understanding macro-scale impacts on carbon sequestration and climate change. We trained a land cover machine learning model to monitor forest changes anywhere in the world. Our effort combines Apache Spark’s distributed machine learning, raster operations from LocationTech GeoTrellis, and the newly open-sourced RasterFrames library. RasterFrames let us apply GeoTrellis raster operations within Spark SQL, thereby homogenizing imagery queries and streamlining feature engineering. Using approximately 2,000 hand-labelled sites scattered across every continent and coarse resolution (500-m) surface reflectance products from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellites, our model achieves an estimated accuracy of 95%, a user’s accuracy (recall) of 79%, and a producer’s accuracy (precision) of 95%. We scored this model on the State of Mato Grosso in Brazil, which has seen intense deforestation over the past several decades. We mapped and visualized forest change in Mato Grosso over the past 17 years.

Presentation1 - Basis of application of Ecogeography in PGR
This document discusses the application of ecogeography in plant genetic resources. It defines ecogeography as the study of the adaptive scenario of an individual, population or species through analysis of biotic and abiotic factors that affect survival. It describes how geographical information systems (GIS) can be used to characterize plant collecting sites based on ecogeographical variables and identify potential applications of GIS in plant genetic resources, such as optimized germplasm collecting and identification of suitable areas for conservation. Finally, it lists activities that can be performed using GIS, such as determining the representativeness of ex-situ collections and identifying areas with high phenotypic or genotypic diversity.

2018 GIS in Education: sUAS Data For a Particular Riparian Extent
The Middle Rio Grande Bosque is a stronghold of wilderness and diversity set in the midst of the Albuquerque metropolitan area and its environs. A method for classifying trees based on sUAS data would be useful for monitoring species diversity within that extent.
Such a spectral library is specific to the extent where it was developed. My research will determine the geographical limits to the utility of a such a spectral library by testing it in the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, roughly 160 kilometers downstream.
2015-08-13 ESA: NextGen tools for scaling from seeds to traits to ecosystems
This document discusses using new technologies to monitor ecosystems and plants at high resolution over time. It proposes collecting detailed data on individual plants and trees in fields and forests through methods like:
- Automated imaging of plant growth in controlled lab conditions
- Sensor networks and remote sensing to generate 3D models of field sites from aerial drones and ground-based laser scanning
- Genotyping every plant to correlate phenotypes with genetics
The goal is to generate massive, multilayer datasets that track environmental and genetic factors over time at plant and ecosystem scales, analogous to advances in high-throughput genomics and phenomics. This would transform ecological understanding and address global challenges around food security and climate change.
USING E-INFRASTRUCTURES FOR BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION - Module 5
An e-Infrastructure is a distributed network of service nodes, residing on multiple sites and managed by one or more organizations. e-Infrastructures allow scientists residing at distant places to collaborate. They offer a multiplicity of facilities as-a-service, supporting data sharing and usage at different levels of abstraction, e.g. data transfer, data harmonization, data processing workflows etc. e-Infrastructures are gaining an important place in the field of biodiversity conservation. Their computational capabilities help scientists to reuse models, obtain results in shorter time and share these results with other colleagues. They are also used to access several and heterogeneous biodiversity catalogues.
In this course, the D4Science e-Infrastructure will be used to conduct experiments in the field of biodiversity conservation. D4Science hosts models and contributions by several international organizations involved in the biodiversity conservation field. The course will give students an overview of the models, the practices and the methods that large international organizations like FAO and UNESCO apply by means of D4Science. At the same time, the course will introduce students to the basic concepts under e-Infrastructures, Virtual Research Environments, data sharing and experiments reproducibility.

This study evaluated the efficacy of multispectral data from SPOT 6 and Landsat 8 satellites for detecting and estimating patch sizes of Parthenium weed. Preliminary results found that Parthenium weed infested a total area of 11,748 hectares using SPOT 6 data and 21,845 hectares using Landsat 8 data. Patch sizes ranged from 0.036 to 7.15 hectares using SPOT 6 data and 0.09 to 56.43 hectares using Landsat 8 data. The results indicate detection of Parthenium weed is possible using multispectral data and estimates of patch sizes will enable proper allocation of eradication resources, though optimisation is still needed to obtain accurate patch sizes

Development of an Interagency Biological Observation and Site Analysis Workflow
- 1. Purple Mushrooms, Pygmy Rabbits, and Big-Eared Bats Extracting and Analyzing Biological Observations from Disparate Datastores
- 3. 20 22 FME User Conference Daniel Karnes, GISP, PhD • Surveyor • Cartographer (pen and ink) • Cartographer (digital) • GIS Analyst • Professor (GIS) • Geospatial Intelligence Analyst • Developer Geographer
- 4. 20 22 FME User Conference In any large project, there will be the easy problem and the real problem. The easy problem is finding the general approach. The real problem is in the details. Details can be dealt with: •Approach •Tools
- 6. 20 22 FME User Conference The Task Defined Develop a way to count biological observations and sites of sensitive and special status (SSS) species on US Forest Service (FS) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land in FS Region 6 and BLM State of Oregon. Unpacking the Task ● FS (Department of Agriculture) and BLM (Department of Interior) have separate computer networks and biological sites & obs databases ● SSS list is jointly maintained by Regional Forester (FS) and Oregon State Director (BLM) ● FS Region 6 and BLM Oregon State are almost the same geography
- 7. 20 22 FME User Conference Two Separate Systems • BLM: GeoBOB (Geographic Biological Observations) • Regional extent • Point and polygon geometry • USFS: NRM (Natural Resource Manager) • National extent (Region 6 extract shared with Oregon BLM) • Polygon geometry (mostly)
- 8. 20 22 FME User Conference The Species List(s) • Sensitive and Special Status Species • 950+ records • Birds, bryophytes, fungi, reptiles, amphibians, freshwater mussels, slugs, snails, insects, lichens, mammals, vascular plants • Priority SSS • 90 records – subset of SSS list • Occasional single-species queries
- 9. 20 22 FME User Conference The Geographic Extent • BLM & FS: 39% of OR & WA • Other Fed: 8%
- 10. 20 22 FME User Conference The Easy Problem (This Will Vary) ● Three separate databases ● Schemas ● Business rules ● Data collection protocols The Actual Problem (This Is Constant) ● Documentation consistency and completeness ● Requirement mutation
- 11. 20 22 FME User Conference Solving Both Problems • The Easy One • Three conceptual phases • Standardize • Analyze • Visualize • The Other One • Iterative design – build • Exploratory workspaces • Full-featured GIS • Consult SMEs
- 29. 20 22 FME User Conference In any large project, there will be the easy problem and the real problem. The easy problem is finding the general approach. The real problem is in the details. Details can be dealt with by: •Iterative design-build •Exploratory workspaces (FME) •Using full-featured data visualization tools •Working with customers/SMEs
