1.Compile known and potential vernal pool locations 2.Describe and align mapping methods 3.Develop a LiDAR-based approach to mapping PVPs North Atlantic Vernal Pool Data Cooperative Objectives

Potential Vernal Pools (n = 29,000+) Certified Vernal Pools (n = 6,818)

Potential Vernal Pools (n = 13,000+) Certified Vernal Pools (n = 1,340)

Potential Vernal Pools (n = 4,856) Field-verified Vernal Pools (n = 648)

Vernal Pool Data: All Over the Map Mapping methods Geographic coverage Spatial accuracy Accessibility of data

VPDC Handbook 1.Catalog of VP datasets 1.Metadata library methods, accuracy, restrictions 3. Data standards

Proposed Minimum and Supplementary Data Fields Minimum Fields Required Unique ID Remotely Mapped? Remote mapping source Remotely Mapped by? Date remotely mapped Field Visited? Date of field visit Original Data source Institutional code Town State Location Comments Coord source Lat Long Datum Land Owner Permission? Data Restriction Category How? When? Who? Where?

Vernal Pool Atlas

Proposed Data Access Levels Level 1: Unrestricted - Available for visualization and download through Data Basin. Level 2: Visualization only – Can be used for visualization in Data Basin. Download requires permission from source. Level 3: Restricted – Cannot be used for visualization in Data Basin. Access requires permission from source.

Landscape depression = PVP

Corp 1.Identify depressions (DEM) & flow potential 2.Incorporate other variables using local knowledge 3.Use OBIA to simultaneously evaluate multiple data sets (LiDAR, imagery, thematic layers) 4.Build rule sets to identify PVPs 5.Validate in the field 6.Adapt rule sets to different physiographic regions Mapping Approach
