Summary
Abstract: The Original Grids of the Gridded Bird Species Distribution of the Americas are converted 1- kilometer grid cell data in the Geographic Coordinate System (GCS) that cover North America, South America and the Caribbean Islands. The input vector data were created by a consortium led by Natureserve. The grids are produced by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information ... View entire text

Purpose: To provide a gridded version of existing vector maps of bird species distribution at 1- kilometer that preserves the original coding (1=Extant, 2= Possibly present, 3=Probably extinct, 4=Extinct, 5=Extirpated purposely, 6=Occurs on indicated island chain, and 7=Subfossil/fossil).

Quality Duplicate measures of field parameters and laboratory analyses were collected
once per month at one of the nine sampling sites (see table 3) as required by
the Quality Assurance Project Plan (Piszczek, 2002). Data retention for water
quality assessment purposes is contingent on compliance with a
parameter-specific relative percent difference (RPD) as described in the QAPP
and table 4. Several data did not comply with the RPDs. A list of the results
that were deemed invalid (both field and laboratory measures) is provided in
Appendix C and this is noted in the data tables (Appendix B).
Access Constraints None known.
Use Constraints None known.
