1 | Indicates the presence of a section of foraging shoreline for piping plovers. Here, foraging shorelines are defined as low-energy and could include the shorelines of sound- or bay-side beaches, interior ponds, and ephemeral pools. Ocean shorelines were not considered low-energy foraging shorelines. |
The distance to foraging layer (ASIS14_DisMOSH.tif) identifies the least-cost path distance for a piping plover chick to travel from the center of each 5x5 m grid cell to low-energy foraging areas with moist substrates. The distance to foraging data were used within a Bayesian network to model the probability that a specific set of landscape characteristics would be associated with piping plover habitat.
The movement cost layer (ASIS14_Cost.tif) identifies barriers to the movement of piping plover chicks, with barriers including water, human development, and moderate to dense vegetation. Barriers were identified using orthoimagery captured in 2014 (see data sources below). The movement cost layer was used to calculate the least-cost path distance (ASIS14_DisMOSH.tif) to the nearest foraging area (ASIS14_MOSH_Shoreline.shp).
The foraging shorelines shapefile (ASIS14_MOSH_Shoreline.shp) delineates foraging shorelines with moist substrates for piping plovers. Foraging areas were determined from elevations measured in 2014 and orthoimagery captured in 2014. Here, foraging shorelines are defined as low-energy and could include the shorelines of sound- or bay-side beaches, interior ponds, and ephemeral pools. Ocean shorelines were not considered low-energy foraging shorelines. See Zeigler and others (2019) for additional details.
