Table 1 is a summary of each sub-model. Five ecological sub-models in biodiversity analysis. 100 meters sq. 500 meters sq. Jepson Expert opinion, known locations.
Known species list and habitat associations.
Ecoregional analysis is the first indicator I use, and is designed to evaluate course scale processes which function across large areas and decadal time periods. Jepson ecoregions in California. Based on these three assumptions, I have assessed the habitat types found in Santa Cruz County. The results of the ecoregional analysis are not intended to be absolute, as the model is designed to incorporate several user adjustable parameters, such as weightings for land ownership which will alter the model output. Most of the redwoods in the central west ecoregion are contained within Santa Cruz County.
