- Example
form
- For
reviewers that want to submit reviews as hard copies, forms in pdf format
can be downloaded from
SWReGAP Habitat Review Form.pdf. Please
submit one form for each species reviewed.

Document explaining modeling constraints, databases, and fields.
Range
- HUCs
(Hydrologic units) were used to identify species ranges. The intent of the
HUC was to constrain the habitat model. In some cases the HUC-depicted
range can extend well beyond the known range of the species .
- HUC
range coding definitions are available at:

Models
Model
Approach
- We
take a Boolean approach to modeling with those areas that contain all
the model attributes selected identified as being suitable.
- In
some cases we also include “or” statements such that if attribute A or
attribute B is present than the habitat is identified as suitable.
Regional
Approach
- We
are working on regional models, thus that we focused on datasets that
were available for the 5-state study area. Our intention is that the
end-user can modify our models for a subset of the study area if needed.
- List of
available modeling attributes and descriptions can be found at
http://fws-nmcfwru.nmsu.edu/swregap/habitatreview/model_attributes.htm.
