Knowledge graph centered on GIS-based riparian proximity measurement (Picidae) with 24 nodes and 61 connections. Top connected: elevational gradients, species diversity, space use, Species-area relationship, keystone species.

Description

Measurement of distances from bird survey points to nearest riparian features using aerial photography, field measurements, and GIS analysis to quantify habitat proximity effects.

Typical Equipment

  • aerial photos (15 cm/pixel resolution)
  • tape measure
  • laser range finder
  • ArcGIS

Output Measurements

  • distance to willow patches
  • distance to water bodies
  • distance to meadows
