Description
FOR non-AGOL ACCOUNT HOLDERS, DOWNLOAD THIS GEOSPATIAL DATA HERE:https://gis-fws.opendata.arcgis.com/search?tags=lmvjvThe Forest Protection DST of the LA MS CDN is constructed to help partners define a strategy for identifying and addressing delivery priorities in the Network area, particularly related to protection of extant forest. The DST combines best available landscape design data in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley that collectively consider multiple priorities for bottomland hardwood protection - Ducks Unlimited's Land Protection Model and the LMVJV's Forest Protection Model. This DST revision incorporates both updated data and newly revised data in this dual modeling approach. The incorporated data models include: newly updated DU MAV Land Protection Model (2015) and newly created MAV LA MS MAV CDN Forest Protection Model (Lower MS Valley Joint Venture, 2019). Although inputs used in the revision are considered the highest resolution data (30m x 30m pixels) available, and fully consistent with landscape level conservation uses, final outputs are actually presented in the form of priority clusters or neighborhoods, produced through GIS focal neighborhood analysis. Since conservation activities do not typically occur at scales as small as 900 meters2 (or less than one-quarter acre), utilizing neighborhood analysis is helpful for finding where high priority pixels are more densely associated. Thus, the approach better assists in identifying priority areas where conservation actions might be focused as oppose to working with or attempting to target priority pixel areas.
