Habitat suitability modeling for Lontra canadensis in east Tennessee
Predictive niche modeling is an essential tool in effectively managing and conserving wildlife habitats. With environmental and landscape data, we can determine and assign priority areas for conservation efforts targeting the North American river otter (Lontra canadensis) in east Tennessee and …

AI-Driven Suitability Modeling for Sustainable Olive Cultivation: An Environmental Assessment in a Changing Climate
… framework we propose integrates ecological niche modeling (ENM), maximum entropy (MaxEnt), and geographic information systems (GIS) to capture complex, nonlinear interactions among bioclimatic, topographic, and soil variables. By employing AI and machine learning to enhance ecological modeling, …

Suitability modeling and the location of utility-scale solar power plants in the southwestern United States
… facilities can be complicated, and GIS-based suitability modeling is often employed to determine ideal candidate sites. These suitability models seek to evaluate a comprehensive set of relevant criteria (such as insolation values, topography, access, land designation status, etc.), often at …

Using eDNA and Habitat Suitability Modeling to Better Understand the Range and Habitat Requirements of the Eastern Black Rail
… a significant effect. I also created a habitat suitability model for the Eastern Black Rail focusing on the Atlantic coastal plain using eBird data contributed by citizen scientists and environmental variable data from the Esri databank using a maximum entropy model framework. The map generated …

THE INFLUENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES ON PREDICTING RARE-PLANT HABITAT IN THE NEZ PERCE NATIONAL FOREST
<p>Habitat suitability modeling is widely-used in both biogeography and ecology to characterize the biophysical requirements and distribution of plant and animal species. Many of these modeling efforts use different variants of essentially the same topo-climatic variables (elevation, slope, aspect, …

The influence of probability of detection when modeling species occurrence using GIS and survey data
… Virginia, USA. Performance was compared among modeling methods, taxa, life histories, and sample sizes. Model performance was poor for all methods and species, except for the carpenter frog (Rana virgatipes). Discriminant function analysis and ecological niche factor analysis (ENFA) predicted …

Climate Change And Ragweed Allergy Risk Assessment: A Study Of The Grand Forks Metropolitan Statistical Area
… the ragweed species. Through a ragweed habitat suitability modeling, it was discovered that 0.94% of the Grand Forks MSA was of high suitability for ragweed growth, 54% of medium suitability, and 35% was of low suitability. Overall, only 10% of the region was classified as not suitable for …

Developing Production Techniques and A Site Assessment Tool for Forest Farmed Ramps in Appalachia
… ecotypes, mycorrhizal treatment, and habitat suitability determination. In the first study, bulbs and seeds from diverse Appalachian locations were gathered and transplanted to a common experimental site to investigate the effects of different ramp ecotypes on growth, survival, and stress …

Evaluation of landscape level habitat characteristics of golden eagle habitat in Northwestern Mexico
… performance and output with logistic regression modeling. I analyzed the Mexican National Plan for Golden Eagle Recovery (PACE - Ã guila Real) and proposed a conservation strategy oriented to protect golden eagle populations and their habitat in Chihuahua, Mexico. This strategy integrates …

A Comparison of Presence Only Suitability Models to Accurately Identify Prehistoric Agricultural Fields in Western New Mexico Through Remote Sensing
… New Mexico by developing a remote sensing suitability model that will identify prime environments for a specific form of agricultural field, ak chin, that are often difficult to locate with standard field-based archaeological methods. Remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems …
