<p>Our classification was analyzed in an attempt to find outliers and possible candidate replacement communities, as described in Bug 4378.</p>
<p>The results need to be checked by hand (Forbes, RKP, Tom, and John Benning).</p>

<p>Mike, Mike, Forbes, Alan, Milo & Tom,</p>
<p>Ah, plot 14-89. I fear we may be looking at the tip of the proverbial iceberg. At the risk of alienating just about everyone, I think I shall describe this as I see it, as we do need to confront these issues some time. What I do here we will adopt for the CVS website, but we can always change it that proves important. There are two intertwined issues here: the NVC/NCNH types recognized and the assignment of plots to NVC types. In short, given the scientific rigor and published status of Wiser’s work, why are we not accepting either her community types or her assignment of plots to community types?</p>
<p>To start with the context of the email that got this going , Wiser classified 14-89 as "Calamagrostis cainii-Rhododendron carolinianum outcrop community" along with 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, & 86. All are from Mt. Le Conte, except 89 from Charlie’s Bunion on the Swain/Sevier line. On the NatureServe site this type is synonymized with 7278 = Saxifraga michauxii - Carex misera - Calamagrostis cainii Herbaceous Vegetation, a Le Conte endemic with probably one occurrence on the NC line (if we trust Wiser, which I do). Forbes assigned most of the above plots to 7279 (except 83=7877 and 89=3948), whereas I think they should all be assigned to 7278 as per Wiser’s earlier decision.</p>
<p>Looking more broadly at Wiser's plots (see attached spreadsheet), there is remarkably little correspondence between Wiser's types and where they are currently assigned. I worry about this as Wiser put considerable effort into her work, it is published in a mainline journal (JVS 7:703-722), and no one has in any systematic fashion challenged it. By this logic, Susan's work has priority and we should all accept it until someone demonstrates in a public way why this would not be desirable.....see attached doc</p> Bug #5159 (New): auto filter for sensitive specieshttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/51592010-08-21T21:36:13ZMichael Leemlee@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Today (Sept 3, 2009), Alan and I [Michael] had a productive conversation about how and for<br />which species we should fuzz plot locations. I described our current<br />approach, which rounds plot locations to the nearest 0.01 degree for<br />Lat and Long to approximate a 1km fuzzing, 0.1 degree for 10km fuzzing<br />and 1 degree for 100km fuzzing. Alan asked a great question as to<br />what radius this resulted in. It yields the centroid of a 0.01, 0.1,<br />or 1 degree box, which amounts to a DIAMETER of a little less than the<br />1km, 10km, and 100km.</p>
<p>I ran a quick algorithm for all plots in our database and found that<br />if we say we are fuzzing 100 km (1 degree), the average distance from<br />those points to our plots is 34.7km. If we are trying for 10km (0.1<br />deg), we get 3.7km. If we try to 1km (0.01 deg), we get 380m. We<br />would expect a smaller number than what we are aiming for, but clearly<br />these are a bit low.</p>
<p>So we probably should either round to the nearest 0.02, 0.2, and 2<br />degree boxes, or actually write an algorithm that will pick a point at<br />random within the specified radius. I don't think that should be too<br />hard.</p>
<p>Next, and the key item, Alan said that he didn't think all rare<br />species should be fuzzed. There are plenty that have no economical<br />value, are not of interest to poachers, and are difficult to get to in<br />any case. He said that the key ones to block are Panax, some orchids,<br />some lillies, carniverous species except Utricularia. I'm probably<br />missing some. Also we need to fuzz locations for all bogs plots given<br />the possible existence of bog turtles there, though those don't turn<br />up in our data. I have fuzzed all of Brenda's bog plots in project 73<br />already in the community summary pages. Alan said he could come up<br />with a list of species for us without taking too much effort, as well<br />as an appropriate fuzzing. He expressed a desire to fuzz more than<br />10km but less than 100km, which we might want to consider, as well.</p> Bug #5113 (New): Autoblock records based on certain land locationshttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/51132010-07-28T17:43:25ZMichael Leemlee@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Currently, you must manually go through records and find things that need to be blocked like state parks, etc. Would be nice to have a system that flagged records based on a query of the location(s) field(s) and allowed a manager to say yes or no to block them (e.g. 10 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway would be retrieved, but the manager would say no, that's ok. Records ON the BR Pkwy would be marked as blocked).</p>
