Southwestern Deserts & Madrean Archipelago: AAF Classified (Predicted Area-adjusted Frequency of Golden Eagle Nest Sites) [U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service]
Description
This raster dataset represents predicted Area-adjusted Frequency (Classified AAF) of golden eagle nest sites. This surface shows AAF classes, which are identified by a numeric code (1-7). Each code corresponds to a descriptive density category representing a range of continuous AAF values (1:very low density <- 0-0.083, 2:low density <- 0.083-0.2, 3:moderate-low density <- 0.2-0.5, 4:neutral density <- 0.5-2, 5:moderate-high density <- 2-5, 6:high density <- 5-12, 7:very high density <- 12-infinity). Continuous AAF values were estimated from predicted RND and then reclassified to the density categories to provide a more easily interpreted visualization of relative AAF. Development of golden eagle RND models are described in Dunk JR, Woodbridge B, Lickfett TM, Bedrosian G, Noon BR, LaPlante DW, et al. (2019) Modeling spatial variation in density of golden eagle nest sites in the western United States. PLoS ONE 14(9): e0223143 (https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0223143).
