Purpose: GAP analysis of breeding birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles for North Dakota. The purpose of the GAP vertebrate species maps is to provide more precise information about the current predicted distribution of individual native species within their general ranges. With this information, better estimates can be made about the actual amounts of habitat area and the nature of its configuration. The Gap Analysis Program (GAP) is a nationwide effort under the direction of the Biological Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey of the Department of the Interior. It is the first time in the history of the United States that a comprehensive effort has been made to inventory and computerize the kinds and geographic distributions of species of plants and animals that contribute to our national diversity. GAP is being done on a state-by-state basis and currently is underway in all 50 states. Eight states have completed gap analysis projects. Using the methods of GIS, maps of distributions of butterflies, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals; and threatened, endangered, or sensitive species; and their habitats, typically are overlaid upon maps of public lands. Those geographic areas where there are high varieties of species not concurring on such lands are considered "gaps" in a total system of land ownership that can be assumed to be in place to provide for long-term conservation of biological diversity, among other purposes.

Raster algebra was used to combine the appropriate layers into a single layer. This intermediate layer was multiplied times a binary raster mask of each species range extent in North Dakota. Additional layers created for the models included sandy/loamy soils, ecotones, wet meadow zones, riparian areas, distance from wetlands and component juxtaposition. Final output was masked with a state boundary and resampled to 90 meter pixel size using nearest neighbor Process_Date: December, 2003 Process_Step: Process_Step: Process_Step: Process_Description: Metadata imported.
