Knowledge graph centered on GIS vegetation cover quantification (Passeridae) with 8 nodes and 13 connections. Top connected: climate change effects on species interactions, Point count surveys, territoriality, habitat fragmentation, alpine adaptations.

Description

Digital mapping approach using GIS software to quantify percent willow cover within standardized buffer zones around survey points. Polygons of non-willow cover digitized to calculate proportional coverage.

Typical Equipment

  • GIS
  • ArcMap software

Output Measurements

  • percent willow cover
  • vegetation spatial distribution
