2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 Deploying ArcPad for Noxious Weed Population Monitoring Track: Forestry, Wildlife, and Fisheries Management Author(s): Tristan Berlund Noxious weed surveys were performed in the upper north fork of the Feather River (hereafter referred to as the study area), 35 miles east of Oroville, California in the fall of 2003. ArcPad 6.0.2 was deployed to document all rated noxious weed species as defined by California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), California Exotic Pest Prevention Council (CalEPPC), and the Plumas National Forest (PNF). The study area was 2.5 square miles bisected by the Feather River. Biologists mapped weeds using handheld iPAQ PDA's equipped with battery packs and Ostia GPS receivers. Orthorectified natural color aerial photographs were used as base maps and a custom form was populated with information about the weed infestations from a pull down list that included details such as weed name, associate weeds, and population size. The survey provides baseline information to kick-off a weed-monitoring program in the project area.
