AbstractApplying ArcView Spatial Analyst Software's ModelBuilder to Habitat Conservation Planning Track: Ecology, Archaeology, and Conservation Author(s): Jeffrey D. Hamerlinck, William J. Gribb, Scott F. Robinson Presenter: Scott Robinson This paper will discuss the use of ArcView Spatial Analyst spftware's ModelBuilder in determining the potential habitat for seven endangered, threatened, or candidate species in Albany County, Wyoming, USA. The analysis was completed in support of a County-wide Habitat Conservation Plan developed by the University of Wyoming for the Albany County Planning Office. Sixteen data layers were examined within a matrix of habitat parameters characterizing each of the seven species. Subsequent models were then developed in ArcView to predict each species' distribution and occurrence. ArcView Spatial Analyst software's ModelBuilder is showcased as a means to organize and replicate complex HCP models for characterizing species of concern. Jeffrey D.
