Title:
Emerald Ash Borer Sample Design 2014 Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire.
Description:
Abstract:
The 2014 sample design product for Agrilus planipennis (A. planipennis), the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is
intended to help prioritize and standardize pest detection and monitoring based on pest risk. Suggested
trap locations for the 2014 EAB field season were generated using the FHTET sample design tool (FHTET
2012). The FHTET sample design tool prioritizes the selection of sample locations for detection and survey
activities based on pest risk. Sample location selection is conducted in ArcGIS 10.0 using the "Create
Spatially Balanced Sample" tool which generates spatially balanced sample points based on an inclusion
probability surface. The inclusion probability surface determines the likelihood that a given location will be
randomly selected based on the risk of EAB introduction and establishment. The EAB Risk Assessment
2014 (Downing et al. 2013) product was used to create the inclusion probability surface in the EAB 2014
sample design.
At the request of APHIS, potential sample areas were restricted to locations that intersected roads (ESRI
2010) and were likely to contain ash host species (Ellenwood 2013). EAB infested, assumed infested, and
quarantined counties (APHIS 2013), along with omitted and voided locations from the 2013 field season
(Kowalski 2013), were excluded from the potential sample area. A total of 20,000 primary sample
locations, with an additional 4,000 replacement locations were generated. Each sample location represents
a 1 km2 sample unit within which EAB detection and monitoring efforts are recommended to occur.
Purpose:
The Sample Design database is intended to provide guidance for the detection and monitoring of Agrilus
planipennis, based on pest risk, during the 2013 EAB field season.

Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire
Entity and Attribute Information:
OBJECTID- Feature class unique object identification number
Shape- Designates the feature class type… ie. Polygon or Point
ID- Unique cell identification number obtained from the FHTET National Sample Design 1km2 Grid
(US_1km_plot_grid_ID).
POINT_X- Plot centroid x coordinate... NAD_1983_Albers, Linear Unit Meter
POINT_Y- Plot centroid y coordinate... NAD_1983_Albers, Linear Unit Meter
CELL_NAME- Unique sample plot name generated by concatenating the following fields: [STATE] & "-" &
[CNTY_FIPS] & "-" & [ID]
CNTY_FIPS- County FIPS code in which the sample location is contained
NAME- County name in which the sample location is contained (defined by plot centroid)
ST_ABRV- U.S. State in which the sample location is contained (defined by plot centroid)
Species- Abbreviation representing the species of interest that the sample design was developed for.
Inclusion- Inclusion probability value for each sample plot. Inclusion probability determines the likelihood
that a grid cell will be included in the sample design. The inclusion probability determines the likelihood
that a given location will be randomly selected based on the risk of EAB introduction and establishment.
Higher EAB risk reflects a greater chance a sample location will be included in the sample design. Note:
this field is only provided in the point version of the sample design datasets)
Replacement- Designates if a record is part of the 4,400 replacement trap locations provided. A value of 1
represents replacement traps and a value of 0 represent one of the primary 22,000 suggested trap
locations. When a primary trap location is either omitted or voided a replacement trap location can be
used in its place.
Trap_2013- This attribute contains information from the EAB 2013 field season. Designates if a suggested
2014 trap location was trapped, omitted, or no action occurred during the previous 2013 field season.
“NA” represents no action taken in the 2013 field season. “Omit” designates traps selected for trap
placement in 2014 that were omitted in the 2013 survey. “Trap Place 2013” record suggested trap
location that were trapped in 2013 and suggested for trap placement again in 2014. Information for this
field was derived from the APHIS Weekly EAB 2013 Trap Activities Report (Kowalski 2013).
Omit_2013_Reason- Provided additional information for records attributed with “Omit” in the “Trap_2013”
field. This field gives a general reason for why a location was omitted in the 2013 field survey. Managers
can use this field to determine if a previously omitted location is worth the effort of trap placement for the
2014 field survey.
Omit_2013_Notes- Provided additional information for records attributed with “Omit” in the “Trap_2013”
field. This field gives the field notes associated with the general reason for why a location was omitted in
the 2013 field survey. Managers can use this field to determine if a previously omitted location is worth
the effort of trap placement for the 2014 field survey
Shape_Length- Length of shape perimeter in meters
Shape_Area- Area of shape in meters
