Bobwhite Habitat Suitability Modeling in Missouri
Habitat Model
| project summary | habitat suitability analysis | interface | tutorial | project reports |Modeling Interface
Bobwhite habitat suitability prediction is based on landscape characteristics (click on model description for details). Based on the availability of land cover data in Missouri, two modeling interfaces were developed.
Note: the internet-based habitat interfaces were developed using ArcView IMS software, which has become inadequate to work with the new server technologies. Thus the live interfaces are no longer provided. Instead, a series of screen-dump images are used to illustrate the process.

Winter Habitat Analysis Using Statewide Land Cover Dataset
Based on a recent study by T. Farrand, the dataset provides an adequate data source for Bobwhite winter habitat screening in the state. » click here to see winter habitat analysis interface illustration |
The statewide land cover dataset
was developed by the Missouri Resource Assessment Partnership (MoRAP).
It is based on the 1991-1993 satellite images with 30-meter
resolution. The land cover boundary accuracy and classifications are
therefore limited to the image resolution and pixel values.|
Habitat Analysis Using DOQ-Based Land Use Inventory Dataset in Callaway County, Missouri
The dataset provides a good data source for modeling winter, summer and overall habitats. However, it is only available for Callaway County, Missouri. The CLU data for other counties in the state only include farm fields, rangeland and pastureland. click here to see summer habitat analysis interface illustration |
The Callaway county land use inventory dataset
was developed by the USDA Callaway County Field Office as a pilot project
of the Farm Service Agency's Common Land Unit (CLU) program. It is based on
early 1990's digital orthophoto quadrangle (DOQ)
images and farm reports. It provides full inventory of all land uses in
the county.
