BBWO_Mxntbrn: Apply Maxent habitat suitability model based solely on burn...

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References

Description

With required inputs, applies a Maxent model representing a component of an ensemble for nesting Black-backed Woodpecker (BBWO; Latif et al. 2013) in burned dry conifer forest of the Inland Northwest and central Rocky Mountains.

Usage

1

Arguments

dnbr

Numeric vector whose values are median delta-normalized burn ratio for 3x3 pixel neighborhood at 30m pixel resolution.

Details

A Maxent model with three variables is applied here. This model represents 1 of 8 models combined to generate ensemble predictions for nesting Black-backed Woodpeckers (Latif et al. 2013).

Value

Numeric vector with range 0-1 representing the logistic Maxent output quantifying relative habitat suitability.
