Is OSUs predictive modeling process the same as NatureServes?
The modeling process is not the same. However, NatureServe is a partner, and the best approach is still being determined. Question: Has the predictive model been used yet when there is an actual transportation project, and if so, have resource agencies agreed with its use? Answer: The model has been applied locally in Oregon and in Florida. Resource agencies have generally bought in with the model. In instances where they have not, model results have been misinterpreted. For example, when the model predicts locations for endangered species, it is not indicating that all other locations are those where the endangered species are not found. Question: Could OSU’s approach be applied to other areas? Can the model help quantify the benefits of ecosystem services? Answer: In Oregon, there has been an effort to try and measure the value of services that clean water provides. Research is on-going to define where wetlands are critically linked and how functional they will be, characteristics wh
