Book Synopsis Protocol for Accuracy Assessment of Ecosystem Maps by : Dellis Vern Meidinger
Download or read book Protocol for Accuracy Assessment of Ecosystem Maps written by Dellis Vern Meidinger and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report outlines a protocol for assessing the thematic accuracy of large-scale ecosystem mapping. The protocol presents a statistically unbiased approach to evaluating the acceptability or accuracy of the mapping. The thematic content of randomly selected map polygons, or small areas, is assessed by various means, with the methods varying in precision & objectivity. The protocol requires the development of a sampling plan that articulates decisions about such matters as protocol level, sample size, assessment method, and target error. The approach outlined in this protocol provides a means of obtaining some overall, statistically valid scores to rate the accuracy of predictive ecosystem mapping, terrestrial ecosystem mapping, or other ecosystem maps. The results can be used as a component of quality assurance or for presenting statistics on the accuracy of mapping.
Book Synopsis A Protocol for Assessing Thematic Map Accuracy Using Small-area Sampling by : David Moon
Download or read book A Protocol for Assessing Thematic Map Accuracy Using Small-area Sampling written by David Moon and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a protocol for assessing the predictive accuracy of thematic maps. Although developed during the Cariboo Predictive Ecosystem Mapping (PEM) pilot, the Canim Lake PEM operational prototype, and the Quesnel PEM to test the accuracy of predictive ecosystem maps, this protocol is applicable to many thematic maps. The Protocol for Accuracy Assessment of Ecosystem Maps (Meidinger 2003) incorporates many of the concepts presented here, but recent work done on the Canim Lake and Quesnel PEMS suggests that a more detailed operational protocol is needed to ensure the integrity of the data collected. In addition to detailed instructions and specifications for data collection, this paper describes a staged sampling protocol designed to minimize the sampling cost required to attain a specified level of confidence in the assessed accuracy.

Book Synopsis European Landscape Dynamics by : Jan Feranec
Download or read book European Landscape Dynamics written by Jan Feranec and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-08-19 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four unique pan-European CORINE Land Cover datasets—CLC1990, CLC2000, CLC2006, and CLC2012— and three datasets concerning changes between 1990 and 2012 have presented the first-ever opportunity to observe the European landscape by means of land cover and its change. This book brings together all these datasets to demonstrate the methods of identification, analysis and assessment of the European land cover and its changes that took place during the intervals of 1990–2000, 2000–2006, and 2006–2012. It provides examples in which CLC data plays a role in offering solutions to European environmental problems such as the monitoring of urban dynamics, land fragmentation, ecosystems mapping and assessment, and high nature value farmland characteristics. Existing environmental problems require new approaches, and European Landscape Dynamics: CORINE Land Cover Data indicates a set of outlooks for CLC data generation that produce more detailed levels of analysis and bottom-up approaches while addressing the relationship of CLC data to the Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe (INSPIRE). It also discusses the future of CLC data generation. A valuable resource of up-to-date information, it is useful to professionals such as scientists, territorial planners, and environmentalists as well as students of geosciences and all those who are interested in cognition of the European landscape, its changes and development.

Book Synopsis Environmental Information Management And Analysis by : W K Michener
Download or read book Environmental Information Management And Analysis written by W K Michener and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1994-08-08 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most environmental studies are based upon data collected at fine spatial scales plots, sediments, cores, etc.. Furthermore, temporal scales of these studies have been relatively short days, weeks, months and few studies have exceeded three years duration the typical funding cycle.; Despite this history, environmental scientists are now being called upon to extrapolate findings from "plot-level" studies to broader spatial scales and from short-term studies to longer temporal scales, up to decades for questions related to long-term processes such as global warming and the rise in sea level.; The complex questions being addressed internationally require that scientists take advantage of new technologies including remote sensing, geographic information systems GIS, and powerful climatic and environmental simulation models. As more environmental scientists begin to work at these broader spatial and temporal scales, and to utilize many of the newer technologies, they are recognising a whole new class of problems.; This book aims to address the most pertinent issues, and includes a comprehensive review of selected topics, case studies, and theoretical discussions, divided into seven sections each preceded by a brief introduction.
Book Synopsis Ecosystem Health and Integrated Monitoring in the Northern River Basins by : Kevin Joseph Cash
Download or read book Ecosystem Health and Integrated Monitoring in the Northern River Basins written by Kevin Joseph Cash and published by Canadian Government Publishing. This book was released on 1996 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NTBS was designed to address the ecological concerns about pulp mill expansion, and to increase scientific knowledge about environmental conditions [ecology, ecosystem sustainability, water pollution and control, habitat, effect on fish and fishing, etc.] in the major river systems of the north. The study's objectives were to gather and interpret sound scientific information about the basins, develop appropriate recommendations for basin management, and communicate effectively with the public. The government response report confirms the governments' commitment to ecosystem sustainability and to pollution control in northern rivers. First Nations and Metis aboriginal [native] peoples contributed significantly to the NRBS.
Book Synopsis Remote Sensing and Geospatial Technologies for Coastal Ecosystem Assessment and Management by : Xiaojun Yang
Download or read book Remote Sensing and Geospatial Technologies for Coastal Ecosystem Assessment and Management written by Xiaojun Yang and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-11 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this landmark publication, leading experts detail how remote sensing and related geospatial technologies can be used for coastal ecosystem assessment and management. This book is divided into three major parts. In the first part several conceptual and technical issues of applying remote sensing and geospatial technologies in the coastal environment are examined. The second part showcases some of the latest developments in the use of remote sensing and geospatial technologies when characterizing coastal waters, submerged aquatic vegetation, benthic habitats, shorelines, coastal wetlands and watersheds. Finally, the last part demonstrates a watershed-wide synthetic approach that links upstream stressors with downstream responses for integrated coastal ecosystem assessment and management.
