Description

Has description Sites: An Analytical Toolbox for Ecoregional Conservation Planning

Sites 1.0 is a customized ArcView project that facilitates designing and analyzing alternative portfolios. The software in Sites 1.0 to select regionally representative systems of nature reserves for the conservation of biodiversity is called the Site Selection Module (SSM). It is a streamlined derivative of SPEXAN 3.0 (Spatially Explicit Annealing) that was developed by Ian Ball and Hugh Possingham. SPEXAN was originally developed as a stand-alone program with no GIS interface for displaying portfolios and ancillary spatial data. The model was applied in two TNC ecoregions--the Idaho Batholith and the Northern Sierra Nevada. This web site contains the Sites 1.0 software, example data sets, and a slide show demonstrating the modeling process.
