- Combined WAHCAP - WWHCWG Canada Lynx Core Habitat Model
Combined WAHCAP - WWHCWG Canada Lynx Core Habitat Model
- Description:
These data were developed for use in the Washington Habitat Connectivity Action Plan (WAHCAP). This core layer for lynx was derived from a model developed by Zaneta Kaszta. The Kaszta model developed for WAHCAP was generated using habitat suitability model developed by Andrew Shirk for Lynx along with a human footprint model developed by Terradapt. We set a minimum habitat value of 0.01 to the WAHCAP model and removed small habitat islands from that output (these refinements were made to the WAHCAP output after receiving map review from the WDFW's species subject matter expert [SME]). That modified version of the WAHCAP model was then unioned with modeled core areas (habitat concentration areas) generated by the Washington Wildlife Habitat Connectivity Working Group (WWHCWG) Statewide Connectivity Assessment (WWHCWG 2010). This combination of the two models (WAHCAP and WWHCWG) was reviewed and received positive reception by WDFW's species SMEs during the WAHCAP review process.
