1 LIFE08 NAT/S/ MOTH - Demonstrating an integrated North-European system for monitoring terrestrial habitats Åsa Hagner, SLU Field manager Sweden ha Coast km (0.16%)
2 Life+ MOTH ( ) Complementary Random sampling Two phase-design: interpretation + field visit Estimation of areal coverage, distribution and conservation status of terrestrial (less frequent) Natura 2000 habitats Combining results Monitoring Terrestrial Habitats (MOTH) LIFE08 NAT/S/000264
3 MOTH General habitat inventory: A cluster of 200 grid-points (5 x 2.1 km) Two-phase sampling First step: Aerial interpretation Manual classification of each grid point/line-intercept using aerial infra-red images. No help from ground data. The aim is to divide the grid points/intercepts into broad habitat AI-classes MOTH Seashore inventory: Line-intercepts, of approx. 300 lines (5 x 2,5 km) Second step: Field survey A proportion is randomly selected from each AI-class. The proportion differs between classes. Selected plots are surveyed in the field. All plots all classified in the field and a number of status variables is measured. Analyses: Estimation of coverage and status.
4 Before: Images Manuals Equipment Protocols Databases Software Principles for phase-2 selection Employing field staff During data collection: General habitat inventory: Phase-1: approx. 230 working days by 6-7 interpreters (dec-apr) Phase-2: 10 field teams, weeks incl. training Seashore inventory: Phase-1: approx. 60 working days by 2-3 interpreters (may-june) Phase-2: 4 field teams, 5-6 weeks incl. training Support: Throughout the surveys (phase-1, dec-june + phase-2, may-sept) Afterwards: Datamanagement Qualitycontrol and assessment Analyses Reporting
5 Life+ MOTH General habitat inventory: Combining results Coverage versus accuracy of the estimation Boreal region: Estimates based on NILS ( ) versus combined estimates of NILS and MOTH ( ) Continental region: Estimates based on NFI ( ) versus combined estimates of NFI and MOTH ( ) Note: different scales on x-axis

12 Life+ MOTH Complementary (to NFI and NILS) Random sampling Two phase-design: interpretation + field visit Combining data from MOTH with data from NFI and NILS Estimation of coverage, distribution and status of (less frequent) Natura 2000 habitats General habitat inventory: 565 primary sampling units á 5 x 2,1 km: interpreted grid-points, 5976 points selected for field survey Seashore inventory: 250 primary sampling units á 5 x 2,5 km 5-year rotation 50 sampling units yearly = 100 units: 6915 lines and 466 field transects:
13 Combined assessment from different sampling designs Data collection in known sites The only(?) approach for rare habitats and species Riparian mixed forest of Quercus robus (91F0, ~15 known sites in Sweden) Redlisted species Most likely biased estimates Efficient to detect a decline, but difficult to detect establishment Two-phase sampling LIFE+ MOTH Useful for habitats and with low areal coverage Many hard-wood forest habitats (9110, 9160 etc.) Low abundant, but habitat specific species Unbiased estimates Complicated designs Necessary to a priori define specific target habitats or species Random sampling NFI, NILS Useful for abundant habitats and species Coniferous old growth forests (taiga 9010), subalpine birch forests (9040) Vaccinium myrtillus Unbiased estimates Simple computations General sampling program - can most likely be adapted to future requirements Rare Infrequent Common
14 MOTH Objectives Analyze NILS and NFI data NILS - focus on alpine and grassland habitats NFI - focus on forests and wetlands (mires) Collect and analyze data with two-phase methodology Develop methods for coastal habitats Combine MOTH data with NFI/NILS data Delivery of data to Species centre / Swedish EPA 2013
