Data and Tools

• A revised toolset, entitled "Management Unit Prioritization Tools", consisting of two separate tools; the Conservation Objective Prioritization Tool and the Overall Prioritization Tool were developed.
• The development of these decision support tools give resource managers the ability to make thoughtful and strategic choices about where to spend their limited management resources

Curve Fit is an ArcMap 10.1 (10.2 forthcoming) tool that:

• performs pixel level regression analysis on a series of raster datasets
• is capable of calculating both linear and nonlinear regressions
• allows the user to constrain parameters for nonlinear models
• generates raster surfaces representing parameter estimate, model fit, and multi-model inference 
...

Where are most important places to direct conservation effort? Such a simple question is not answered simply. There are a myriad of priorities, constraints, and capacities, both scientific and socio-economic, which in combination guide the allocation of management effort. An honest accounting of these priorities, constraints, and capacities is essential for efficient, effective action.

• The Split By Attribute Tool is a customization of ArcMap.
• The tool takes a single shapefile and splits it into many shapefiles based on the unique values of a chosen field.
• If the user has made a selection on a shapefile, then only those features that have been selected will be split.
• Each output layer will named with the following structure: user supplied base

This dataset includes spatial locations in the Pacific Northwest where streamflow observations were recorded. For the purpose of this investigation, all streamflow observations were converted into wet or dry indicator values.
