Abstract:
This raster image displays values of modeled terrestrial vertebrate species richness completed as part of the Virginia Gap Analysis Project (VAGAP). Species richness is the total number of species that are predicted to potentially occur within an area. Overall species richness is the sum of all VAGAP predicted species distribution. There are 568 terrestrial vertebrate species that were modeled as part of the Virginia Gap Analysis (VDGIF update). However, the greatest number of species having potentially suitable habitat on the same area is 341 (southeast Virginia).
Purpose:
This is an output of the Virginia Gap Anaylsis project (VAGAP). The purpose of this image is to show patterns of species richness across Virginia. This dataset can be use to assess biodiversity and biodiversity protection on a statewide scale.
Supplemental_Information:
This raster is an update of the analysis completed in 'A Gap Analysis of Virginia: 2001 Final Report'. More accurate species range information was used in this updated version. However, species-habitat relationships did not change.

Data_Set_Credit:
Data and database structure were orginially developed by Scott Klopfer and others at the Conservation Management Institute. Vertebrate species range information were reviewed by taxonomic experts throughout Virginia. Range updates were applied the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF).

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Information on accuracy of species distribution modeling can be found in the VAGAP final report (A Gap Analysis of Virginia: 2001 Final Report). Habitat relationships for individual species were based on the Virginia Gap Analysis land cover or habitat layer. See metadata and report for more information on habitat classificaiton accuracies (<http://www.cmiweb.org/WWW/CMIGIS/vagap.html>).

Process_Description:
Individual species county range information and habitat use were determined and then mapped. From this database all terrestrial vertebrate species predicted to potential occur at each 30m pixel were summed to create a species richness value.
