Forest stands and LiDAR derived model estimates of marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus) occupancy in the Coos Bay BLM District, Southwestern Oregon
We used murrelet occupancy data collected by the Bureau of Land Management Coos Bay District and canopy metrics calculated from discrete return airborne LiDAR data to fit a logistic regression model predicting the probability of occupancy. Our final model for stand-level occupancy included distance to coast and 5 …
