Field Data Collection Protocols - MISIN

For more information: info@misin.msu.edu Invasive Species Mapping Protocols Objective The objective for creating these mapping protocols is to develop a unified database of invasive species occurrences within the Midwest region of the United States. These protocols were created in partnership with the Michigan Invasive Species Coalition (MISC). These guidelines will assist all partners within the region in documenting the occurrence and spread of invasive species. The data collected will allow for the development and implementation of effective control strategies in the region. Documentation: All information about invasive species occurrences must be documented using the categories on the official data form. All locations must be recorded using GPS. New occurrences should be marked with flagging ONLY if necessary to help relocate the invasive species for treatment. Volunteers must obtain permission before using flagging. The use of flagging or other references should be noted on the data form under the comments section. All equipment, materials and instructions will be provided by project partners as needed. GPS Protocols: For all observations, record a point location in the center of each population. If the area is heavily infested and distinct populations can be easily seen one to the next, mark no more than ONE point per 100ft. An average of 25 points should be taken per waypoint. All GPS points must be labeled with a unique ID number using the numbering convention explained below. Unique ID: For each GPS position collected, record a unique twelve or thirteen digit number (depending on the invasive species code) in the GPS unit for each point as follows: “BBJJGM00141U” where BB is the two letter code for the natural area, JJ is the mapper’s initials, GM is the invasive species code, 001 is the three digit sequence number, 4 is the area, 1 is the sparse density, and U is for untreated. Within each location, the three digit sequence number of the ID for each person should not be repeated. If the GPS unit you are using does not allow for a twelve digit number, only record the first nine digits. These nine digits are considered the waypoint number and can be matched to the data sheet later. http://www.misin.msu.edu/ Last Updated: May 19, 2016 Data Collection – Standard Operating Procedure 1. Identify which volunteers have received invasive species identification training and/or mapping training. (http://www.misin.msu.edu/training/) 2. Ensure each mapping team contains at least one member with experience in both mapping and identification methods. 3. Provide basic refresher training to all volunteers regarding the invasive species which the group expects to encounter and the mapping protocol for recording GPS waypoints. 4. Before sending teams out to map independently, direct volunteers to locate targeted invasive species in the immediate area, to ensure teams are equipped to identify target species and have the opportunity to ask questions. 5. Provide each team with a GPS unit, a data collection form, and have them fill out the following details on the form: a. Date b. GPS Unit # c. Observer(s) d. Site/Location 6. Divide overall site into reasonable chunks for each team. Whenever team members encounter one of the targeted invasive species in their assigned area, log a waypoint as per the directions below, making sure the calculated precision of the GPS unit is within 10 meters. Logging a GPS Waypoint GPS waypoints may be logged in one of two ways; either log the location on the GPS unit as a point and label using the format described below and on the lower left hand corner of the data collection sheet, or record the latitude and longitude on the data collection sheet manually. • The GPS Waypoint Code includes: o Location Code: “BB”- volunteers should create a two digit code representing the natural area the observation was recorded. E.g. “IW” for inland wetland. o Observer Initials: First initial of first name and first initial of last name. E.g. “JJ” o Species: Enter the two or three digit code for the invasive plant species found at the location. Each person will be given a code sheet with all of the invasive plant common names, scientific names, and the abbreviation codes. E.g. phragmites = PH o Waypoint ID Number: This is a three digit sequence number. The first entry should be “001”, the second “002”, the third “003”, etc. A sequence number of the ID for each person should never repeat in the site being surveyed. http://www.misin.msu.edu/ Last Updated: May 19, 2016 • Record Area—Select one of the following: 0 = None / NA 1 = Individual/few/several 2 = < 1,000 square feet (half tennis court) 3 = 1,000 square feet to 0.5 acre 4 = 0.5 acre to 1 acre (football field w/o end zones) 5 = > 1 acre • Record Density—Select one of the following options: 0 = None / NA 1 = Sparse (scattered individual stems or very small stands) 2 = Patchy (a mix of sparse and dense areas) 3 = Dense (greater than 40% of the area) 4 = Monoculture (nearly 100% of area) • Record Treatment Status—Enter “U” for untreated; or “N” for nonconsecutive years treated; or enter the number of years of consecutive treatment; or “D” for don’t know. • Record GPS Coordinates—If not entering the waypoint code directly into the GPS unit, write the GPS coordinates for each plant species found at each location. All coordinates must be recorded in decimal degrees. For example: 44.75723, -85.65276 (N44.75723 W85.65276). • Record Comments—Use this space to record anything of interest about the observation; i.e. note the use of flagging, general quality of natural community, last year treated (if known) or other pertinent information about the location, species infestation or mapping. http://www.misin.msu.edu/ Last Updated: May 19, 2016 Data Collection Sheet Date:__________ GPS Unit #:_______ Waypoint Code Location Code Observer Initials Species * Area Observer:_______________________________________ Density Treatment Status GPS Coordinates (decimal degrees) Lat. i.e. N44.75723 Long. i.e. W85.65276 Site:___________________ Comments Last Updated: May 19, 2016 GPS Abbreviation Codes Invasive Species Network -- Target Species Common Name Amur honeysuckle Abbrev.
