Abstract:
The Idaho Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit's Landscape Dynamics Lab created the wildlife habitat relationship (whr) models for 379 terrestrial vertebrates that regularly breed in Idaho. Habitat associations for each species were determined by literature searches and expert opinion. These features were then selected from the following spatial datasets where appropriate: Idaho Land Cover, Idaho Digital Elevation Model, Idaho Climate Zones, and Distance to Hydrologic Features. The resulting maps were then restricted to the areas where the species had been observed (determined by occurrence within 635 sq. km hexagons). Each model was reviewed and edited as needed.
Purpose:
These data were developed for the Idaho Gap Analysis Project. They comply to minimum standards of the Gap Analysis Program of the Biological Resources Division, US Geological Survey as of January 1, 1999. These data are intended to aid in state level assessment of natural resources and are not intended for use at a scale greater than 1:100,000.

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Wildlife lists gathered from 62 special management areas across Idaho were used to assess the accuracy of the WHR models. Only 353 of the 379 species modeled were included in the accuracy assessment due to lack of independent data. See the final Idaho GAP Analysis Report for more information.
Logical_Consistency_Report: Not applicable for raster data.
Completeness_Report:
All cells within Idaho are assigned as suitable or unsuitable habitat.

Process_Description:
Compiled list of terrestrial vertebrates known to regularly breed in Idaho
Process_Date: 19981001
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Searched literature for habitat associations for each of the 379 terrestrial vertebrates known to regularly breed in Idaho, documenting the references for each species.
Process_Date: 19981001
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Compiled the spatial data sets necessary to create the wildlife habitat relationship models.
Process_Date: 19991001
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Converted the text habitat descriptions for each species into codes corresponding to the spatial data sets being used.
Process_Date: 19991001
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Obtained occurrence records for species from Idaho Conservation Data Center, Breeding Bird Survey, Region 1 Landbird Monitoring Project, Dr. Charles Peterson, reviewer expert opinion and other sources to populate the hexagons where each species was documented to occur in Idaho.
Process_Date: 19991001
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Constructed the first model coverage for a species by selecting the land cover types appropriate for that species using the SELECT function in ARC GRID.
Process_Date: 20001001
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Using the first model coverage as a mask, selected the next appropriate habitat features for that species using the SELECTMASK function in ARC GRID.
Process_Date: 20001001
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Repeated the above process until all appropriate habitat features were included in the model.
Process_Date: 20001001
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Constructed a hexagon of occurrence grid for the species by selecting the hexagons where the species was observed and converting the resultant coverage to a raster grid
Process_Date: 20001001
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
To eliminate artificial boundaries associated with using the hexagon coverage as a mask, used the ZONALMIN function in ARC GRID to create zones in the hexagon of occurrence grid based on 5th code watersheds. These zones were then used to select the watersheds containing at least part of a hexagon of occurrence for that species.
Process_Date: 20001001
Process_Step:
Process_Description:

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Used the TEST function in ARC GRID to reduce the output grid to a binary grid (1 for suitable, 0 for unsuitable habitat).
Process_Date: 20001001
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Converted the final model grid to a geo-registered TIFF image using the GRIDIMAGE command in ARC to save disk space.
Process_Date: 20001001
Process_Step:
Process_Description: Edits made as necessary based on expert review.
Process_Date: 20001001
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Gathered species lists from management areas for use in accuracy assessment.
Process_Date: 20011001
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Used the SELECTMASK function in ARC GRID to determine the number of correct present and omission predictions of species occurrence in selected management areas.
