Summary

Abstract: The Habitat Needs Assessment (HNA) GIS Query Tool is an ArcView® GIS extension that was developed to assist with a habitat needs assessment for the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) Environmental Management Program. The query tool is delivered as an ArcView 3.x extension and is packaged with approximately 2 gigabytes of GIS data. Users may query on a species and obtain habitat information, or they may query on habitat to obtain species information. These queries are accomplished by using matrices previously developed to associate a species' potential to occur within various types of habitat. Various output products are generated as a result of a user query. Habitat information is produced and presented to the user in the forms of textual, graphical, tabular, and spatial information.
