Greetings ECOLOG-ers, I am developing a framework to improve the results of ecological/environmental assessments performed for data poor sites.
For example: If you wanted to estimate fish density of Pond A but did not have the funds to collect primary data you might substitute data from a nearby pond with similar characteristics. I am looking for examples in the literature where researchers substituted data from other sites or used proxy variables in models. I am also looking for examples in the literature of models that were developed for one site (or context) and applied to another site (or context). Thank you, Lauri Green, PhD ORISE Postdoctoral Research Fellow US Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development Western Ecology Division Newport, OR 541-867-4035
