Invasive Species Populations
- Description:
Once data was collected, clipped, and projected, populations were created. This was done by first buffering each observation by its reported area. The buffered observations were then aggregated into polygons using a 1000 foot radius. This radius was chosen through trial and error, but was originally based on participant protocol that stated observations should be taken every 1000 feet or so. Contact CBI for access to the Jupyter notebook which details the geoprocessing workflow used in this analysis.
Background:
With the help of over 180 local community scientist volunteers, the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden (the Garden) and the Conservation Biology Institute are mapping over 300 miles of local trails and roads that were affected by the Thomas and Whittier Fires. Community science (also known as citizen science) is scientific research conducted, in whole or in part, by amateur (or nonprofessional) scientists. These data are exclusively from the iNaturalist platform, project page here: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/mapping-recovery-in-the-thomas-fire-scar
