Abstract:

Thirty five techniques for estimating variables commonly used as input to habitat models for terrestrial wildlife species are described. Each description includes explicit directions for use, and information about required equipment, cost to apply, accuracy, and conditions under which it is appropriate to be used. A glossary of variables is included, and cross-referenced to the appropriate techniques. Directions are also included for randomly locating sample points and line transects, and for selecting random individual plants, and groups of plants. No remote sensing techniques are included, but some information is provided about sources and types of images, and where to go for a discussion of remote sensing techniques.
