Habitat Suitability Index Models: Lesser Snow Goose (Wintering)

摘要

A review and synthesis of existing information were used to develop a habitat model for lesser snow geese (Chen caerulescens). The model is scaled to produce an index of habitat suitability between 0 (unsuitable) and 1.0(optimally suitable) for lesser snow goose wintering habitat in the Gulf of Mexico coastal areas of Texas and Louisiana.
