Book excerpt: Two Habitat Suitability index models were created for ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus) in the Cumberland Plateau physiographic region of Tennessee. One model evaluated winter habitat and the other evaluated brood habitat. The model for winter habitat used four variables to evaluate habitat suitability, including proximity to evergreen shrub thickets, habitat diversity within home range size, ageclass of the overstory and overstory forest group. The brood habitat model used four variables to evaluate habitat for young broods, including proximity to daylighted roads, habitat diversity within home range, overstory ageclass, and overstory forest group. The models were applied to the currently inventoried portion (approximately 30%) of the Catoosa Wildlife Management Area. These models were used to explore the assumption that there are two major limiting factors for grouse in Tennessee, winter habitat and brood habitat, and to determine the location of the best of these habitats in relation to each other on the Catoosa Wildlife Management Area. Very little of the currently inventoried area had high suitability under either model. On a scale of 0-1.0 where 1.0 is optimal habitat, the winter habitat model classified only 1.06% of the currently inventoried area greater than 0.75 The brood habitat model classified only 0.30% of the inventoried area greater than 0.75 Areas with HSI values above 0.75 for both models were often within home range size, but the scarcity of high quality habitat on Catoosa indicates grouse densities will remain low without increased forest management for their needs.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Shrubland, young forest, and other types of early successional habitats have historically declined due to a lack in anthropogenic and natural disturbances. This decline in disturbance-dependent habitats has impacted the populations of a variety of species, with some of conservation concern, such as the Ruffed Grouse (Bonasa umbellus). Using an iteration-reduction method for this project, a Habitat Suitability Model was created in ArcGIS Pro to assess NYSDEC Region 8 for potential habitat, and to assist with determining where the potential habitat was located within the area of interest. These potential habitat areas were ranked from “POOR” to “PRIME” based on literature-derived habitat parameters such as the presence of: 1) significant shrubland habitat, 2) significant urban areas, 3) a significant water source, and 4) significant coniferous forest. The model identified 11,047 potential sites distributed as “PRIME” (3550), “GOOD” (3543), “FAIR” (1462), and “POOR” (2492). eBird data used for verification had 585 eBird sightings that “hit”, or intersected with the model results, with 458 (78%) within “PRIME” sites, 50 (9%) within “GOOD” sites, 46 (8%) within “FAIR” sites, and 31 (5%) within ”POOR” sites. Sensitivity tests based on a maximum literature-derived home range were able to capture an additional 153 eBird sightings of the 467 eBird sightings that missed the model entirely, which increased the model sighting accuracy from 56% (585 eBird sighting hits) to 70% (738 eBird sighting hits). Although several factors associated with the verification data, National Land Cover Database (2011), and model constraints may be reducing the overall accuracy of the model, the results suggest that the model accurately identified “PRIME” habitat, but a majority of this habitat is on private land. Conservation efforts will need to focus on recruiting private landowners into managing shrubland, as well as to continue managing publicly owned lands, as part of the conservation strategy for the Ruffed Grouse."--Abstract.
