| 1 | Expected Precision of ABMI Trend Estimates
ABMI 00040 2009-12-21 (1893Kb PDF) Past Documents This report examines how precise estimates of trends in abundance of species and guilds are expected to be with ABMI monitoring. It contains 3 sections: 1) A general analysis of the expected precision of trend estimates of individual bird and plant species, and the species characteristics and design factors affecting it. 2) An application of the general results to the actual bird and plant species currently monitored by ABMI in the central boreal region. 3) An analysis of the expected precision of average trends for guilds comprising multiple species. | |

| 3 | Manual for Estimating Habitat Intactness
ABMI 20028 2009-04-20 (190Kb PDF)Past Documents This document details the information pyramid framework used to integrate habitat structures with landscape elements, the statistical methods used to derive reference conditions, and the indices AMBI has developed to assess the intactness (or deviation from reference condition) for individual habitat structures, and habitat and landscape categories. The methods presented here are continuously in revision, and updated versions of this document will be released periodically. | |

ABMI 20039 2009-04-20 (213Kb PDF) This document details the habitat structures and landscape elements tracked by the program and the information pyramid framework used to aggregate them together. The information presented here is continuously in revision, and updated versions of this document will be released periodically. | |

| 5 | Manual for Estimating Human Footprint Intactness
ABMI 20030 2009-03-12 (95Kb PDF)Past Documents This document details the information pyramid framework used to integrate human footprint information, how reference condition is set for human footprints, and the indices AMBI has developed to assess the intactness (or deviation from reference condition) for the individual and cumulative human footprints types. The methods presented here are continuously in revision, and updated versions of this document will be released periodically. | |
