Guidelines for Developing Habitat-Based Threatened and Endangered Species Population Goals on Army Installations

Abstract

This document provides an overview of species-habitat modeling approaches including recent recommendations and criticisms of model shortcomings. Rather than provide an exhaustive treatment of species-habitat modeling this report provides enough information that an installation could hire or supervise an expert to conduct appropriate modeling and anticipate and avoid common pitfalls and errors associated with current approaches. The overview is based on a hierarchical structure for organizing species-habitat modeling approaches. Modeling approaches are grouped into three classes, based on data requirements, effort, expense, technical difficulty, application uses, and output characteristics.
