Description
- Abstract: High frequency wildlife carcass incidents (from Oregon Department of Transportation dispatch records of carcass reports, 1995 - 2006, all state highways.) Includes only records of deer and elk, with reported precision of >= 0.5 mile. Hot spots were derived from a kernel density probability analysis, and mapped using the Jenks Natural Breaks method to rank the values into five continuous categories. Model parameters include 100x100 grid cells and a 5280 foot search radius.
-
- Purpose: Cartographic and analytical. May be used as a broad scoping tool for planning and development of transportation or environmental enhancement projects.
