Probability of occurrence for rare and endemic Yukon plant species We developed a model to build a series of species-occurrence models to predict areas of habitat where rare plant species of concern are most likely to occur. The models were built using all available occurrences for the suite of target plant species. These species were chosen based on their rarity, endemism, and conservation concern as part of the grassland plant community associated with Beringia, in the Yukon Territory. The spatial inputs for the model were derived from Earth Observation remote sensing satellites. These models have been guided by expert opinion and are designed to incorporate new occurrence information in an adaptive framework – allowing active search and monitoring efforts to improve the outputs. These models are helping to identify high priority grasslands for field surveys and are supporting our program in mapping and monitoring for rare and endemic grassland plant species and their habitats in the Yukon Territory. Our goal is to inform conservation planning and strategies to mitigate threats to these unique ecosystems. |
