The data was collected as part of a collaboration between the Florida Department of Forestry, The Nature Conservancy, Florida Natural Areas Inventory, the, and the US Geological Survey, South Florida Water Management District, and National Park Service. The aerial survey was conducted to assess the feasibility of conducting state-wide monitoring of priority invasive plant species using digital aerial sketch mapping. The survey included two sampling protocols-one involving detailed mapping within randomly located 4 km2 quadrats (this dataset) and another protocol using 800km-wide belt transects across the state. The surveys were conducted by two trained observers in a fixed wing aircraft, typically flying at altitude of 500 feet above ground level. Forty four 1x4 km quadrats (east-west orientation) were flown (see GRTS_2010_Sampled.shp). Observers mapped polygons for seven invasive plant species (Casuarina spp., Dioscorea bulbifera, Imperata cylindrica, Lygodium microphyllum, Melaleuca quinquefolia, Paederia foetida, and Schinus terebinthifolius) and estimated percent cover of the mapped species using categories (&lt;5%, 5-25%, 26-50%, 51-75%, &gt;75%). The pilot was instructed to fly over each 4 km2 quadrat repeatedly until the observers were confident that all detectable infestations were mapped.
All polygons were recorded using a digital aerial sketch mapping (DASM) system. The DASM system comprised two networked touch-screen laptops connected to a GPS receiver, GeoLink® sketch mapping software, preloaded boundary and flight transect shape files, and 1-meter pixel true color digital imagery. Observers digitally sketched polygons of infestations for each invasive species. During post-flight data processing, shape files from both observers were combined and overlapping polygons with similar attributes were rectified. More information on the digital aerial sketchmapping system (DASM) is available online at: &lt;http://www.fs.fed.us/foresthealth/technology/dasm.shtml&gt;

Lots going on, so let’s get right to it:

 

·         We voted at the 1/24 annual meeting to add Okeechobee County to our CISMA, so here’s a warm welcome to Paul Miller at Kissimmee Prairie Preserve, who likes what we’re doing so much he wanted to make it official.

·         The annual workplan for 2012 is attached.  If you see something of interest, get in touch with the lead because your help is wanted and you’ll get kudos for it.  If there’s something you’re working on that isn’t in there, shout it out so we can add it in= more kudos for you.  Thanks to those who whipped the plan into shape! And thank you to Keeli Carlton for stepping up to be co-chair!

·         The 2nd annual Central Florida Invasive Species Workshop is coming up on March 1st.  See the attached agenda for more info and feel free to share the flyer.  And be sure to sign up early because seating is limited, lunches are free to the 1st registrants thanks to our sponsors, and you won’t want to miss it!  Thanks to Debi for making sure it all comes together.

·         The Early Detection Scavenger Hunt is still going through the end of the month and you still could be a contender!  Check out the attached flyer, share it, compete, and you just may be a prizewinner in addition to sharing important information about invasives. 

·         Aerial surveys for Lygodium microphyllum were recently conducted by SWFWMD around their properties (Stephanie Green), may be conducted in Polk County around their properties (Tabitha Biehl-Gabbard), and there’s likely to be a test of the utility of UAV use at APAFR (Clarence Morgan) in the next week.  If you’re interested in these, contact the coordinators.

·         Aerial surveys past: I mentioned that SFWMD did aerial surveys in 2010 for invasives and realize I haven’t shared those data with you all yet.  They are attached and include the plots that were sampled in one shapefile and the invasives recorded in those plots in the other file.  It is not comprehensive but those that will want to see include managers for these properties: Lakeland Highlands Scrub, APAFR, Kissimmee Prairie Preserve, LWR WEA, and Kissimmee River.

·         The 1st 3 partner workdays focused on coral ardisia were a success!  At Catfish Creek Preserve and 2 locations on the Lake Wales Ridge State Forest partners and Ridge Rangers treated this EDRR species.  Keep your eyes out for it, report it on IveGot1.org, and get it treated with your own workday if you need help.

 

That’s it for now- already a busy 2012.  If you have any National Invasive Species Awareness Week events for 2/26-3/3, do tell!  Hope to see you at ours on 3/1.
