Description:

Abstract:

Bird distribution models for Michigan were created as part of the Michigan Gap Analysis Program. Data layers used for modeling included 2001 IFMAP/GAP statewide land cover, the National Wetlands Inventory map of Michigan, Michigan hydrology, and the 1978 Michigan Resources Information System land cover. Habitat models for most taxa were subject to expert review. Bird distributions were restricted to the currect known range (see range map metadata for further information).

Purpose:

Bird distribution models were created to: 1) identify predicted habitat for all native bird species that currently breed in Michigan, and 2) establish conservation priorities for wildlife management in the state.

Supplemental_Information:

An individual AML file was created for each bird species and named with a unique TNC code. AML files contain the original model program (written in AML for ArcInfo Version 8.2 - UNIX) as well as details pertaining to each bird distribution model. Comment lines at the top of each AML include species names (common and scientific) and TNC code, expert reviewer names and comments, and any additional comments from the modelers.
