Title: Habitat suitability index models: Diamondback terrapin(nesting): Atlantic Coast. [Malaclemys terrapin]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5115683

A review and synthesis of existing information were used to develop a Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) model for the diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin). The model is scaled to produce an index between 0.0 (unsuitable habitat) and 1.0 (optimum habitat). HSI models are designed to be used with Habitat Evaluation Procedures previously developed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
