Objectives

  1. Compare the number and area of wetlands mapped by 3-factor and NWI wetlands across study sites

  2. Evaluate correlates of differences in mapping outcomes

Quantifying differences between maps

Total area mapped:

Perhaps the most straigfoward calculation. The simple sum of all wetland polygons for a given mapping protocol.

The formulation for 3-factor wetlands: \[{A_{3f}} = 100*\sum_{i=1}^{n}A_{i}\]

The formulation for NWI wetlands: \[{A_{NWI}} = 100*\sum_{i=1}^{n}A_{i}\]

Total polygons mapped:

The count of all wetland polygons for a given mapping protocol.

The formulation for 3-factor wetlands: \[{n_{3f poly}} = 100*\sum_{i=1}^{n}n_{i}\]

The formulation for NWI wetlands: \[{A_{NWI poly}} = 100*\sum_{i=1}^{n}n_{i}\]

Normalized Difference Area Index:

\[NDAI = \frac{({A_{3f}} - {A_{NWI}})}{({A_{3f}} + A_{NWI})}\]

Sumarize the total area and number of AA (v11)

Here’s where I read in and export AA v11 centroids as shapefile

## OGR data source with driver: ESRI Shapefile 
## Source: "data/Final_shapefile", layer: "AA_v11_centroids"
## with 769 features
## It has 13 fields
