Abstract:The Marbled Murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus) is a tree-nesting seabird found along the Pacific coast of North America whose forest nesting habitat has dramatically declined over the last century. Mapping the remaining nesting habitat is a core step in the conservation of this species at risk. Fine-scale mapping efforts are expected to be enhanced by airborne laser scanning (ALS) data (an application of lidar technology), which provides quantitative measures of forest structure. We present an ALS-informed mo… Show more
