Software Available from NLAEheadline bar < Return to Additional Resources ACPF (Agricultural Conservation Planning Framework) The ACPF watershed planning toolbox is intended to leverage modern data sources and help local farming communities better address soil and water conservation needs. High-resolution geo-spatial datasets that can improve the information base available for conservation planning have recently become available. The Agricultural Conservation Planning Framework (ACPF) toolbox can be used within theArcGIS® (Ver. 10.2 – 10.5) environmentto analyze soils, land use, and high-resolution topographic data to identify a broad range of opportunities to install conservation practices in fields and in watersheds. These opportunities can then inform of a non-prescriptive approach to encourage farmers and landowners to become engaged in local watershed improvement. (2018) ROOTEDGE ROOTEDGE is a computer program written for MS-DOS machines that measures areas, perimeters, lengths, and widths of objects in binary images. ROOTEDGE uses a new algorithm for perimeter measurement, the Edge Chord Algorithm, which is more accurate than older algorithms, and less affected by the orientation of the objects in the image.
