The arrival of ArcGIS Pro has brought a challenge to ArcMap users. The new software is sufficiently different in architecture and layout that switching from the old to the new is not a simple process. In some ways, Pro is harder to learn for ArcMap users than for new GIS users, because some workflows have to be unlearned, or at least heavily modified. Current ArcMap users are pressed for time, trying to learn the new software while still completing their daily tasks, so a book that teaches Pro from the start is not an efficient method.Switching to ArcGIS Pro from ArcMap aims to quickly transition ArcMap users to ArcGIS Pro. Rather than teaching Pro from the start, as for a novice user, this book focuses on how Pro is different from ArcMap. Covering the most common and important workflows required for most GIS work, it leverages the user’s prior experience to enable a more rapid adjustment to Pro.AUDIENCEProfessional and scholarly; College/higher education; General/trade.AUTHOR BIOMaribeth H.

This packaged data collection contains two sets of two additional model runs that used the same inputs and parameters as our primary model, with the exception being we implemented a "maximum corridor length" constraint that allowed us to identify and visualize the corridors as being well-connected (≤15km) or moderately connected (≤45km). This is based on an assumption that corridors longer than 45km are too long to sufficiently accommodate dispersal. One of these sets is based on a maximum corridor length that uses Euclidean (straight-line) distance, while the other set is based on a maximum corridor length that uses cost-weighted distance. These two sets of corridors can be compared against the full set of corridors from our primary model to identify the remaining corridors, which could be considered poorly connected. This package includes the following data layers: Corridors classified as well connected (≤15km) based on Cost-weighted Distance Corridors classified as moderately connected (≤45km) based on Cost-weighted Distance Corridors classified as well connected (≤15km) based on Euclidean Distance Corridors classified as moderately connected (≤45km) based on Euclidean Distance Please refer to the embedded metadata and the information in our full report for details on the development of these data layers. Packaged data are available in two formats: Geodatabase (.gdb): A related set of file geodatabase rasters and feature classes, packaged in an ESRI file geodatabase. ArcGIS Pro Map Package (.mpkx): The same data included in the geodatabase, presented as fully-symbolized layers in a map. Note that you must have ArcGIS Pro version 2.0 or greater to view.

Statewide 2016 Lidar points colorized with 2018 NAIP imagery as a scene created by Esri using ArcGIS Pro for the entire State of Connecticut. This service provides the colorized Lidar point in interactive 3D for visualization, interaction of the ability to make measurements without downloading.Lidar is referenced at https://cteco.uconn.edu/data/lidar/ and can be downloaded at https://cteco.uconn.edu/data/download/flight2016/. Metadata: https://cteco.uconn.edu/data/flight2016/info.htm#metadata. The Connecticut 2016 Lidar was captured between March 11, 2016 and April 16, 2016. Is covers 5,240 sq miles and is divided into 23, 381 tiles. It was acquired by the Captiol Region Council of Governments with funding from multiple state agencies. It was flown and processed by Sanborn. The delivery included classified point clouds and 1 meter QL2 DEMs. The 2016 Lidar is published on the Connecticut Environmental Conditions Online (CT ECO) website. CT ECO is the collaborative work of the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) and the University of Connecticut Center for Land Use Education and Research (CLEAR) to share environmental and natural resource information with the general public. CT ECO's mission is to encourage, support, and promote informed land use and development decisions in Connecticut by providing local, state and federal agencies, and the public with convenient access to the most up-to-date and complete natural resource information available statewide.Process used:Extract Building Footprints from Lidar1. Prepare Lidar - Download 2016 Lidar from CT ECO- Create LAS Dataset2. Extract Building Footprints from LidarUse the LAS Dataset in the Classify Las Building Tool in ArcGIS Pro 2.4.Colorize LidarColorizing the Lidar points means that each point in the point cloud is given a color based on the imagery color value at that exact location.1. Prepare Imagery- Acquire 2018 NAIP tif tiles from UConn (originally from USDA NRCS).- Create mosaic dataset of the NAIP imagery.2. Prepare and Analyze Lidar Points- Change the coordinate system of each of the lidar tiles to the Projected Coordinate System CT NAD 83 (2011) Feet (EPSG 6434). This is because the downloaded tiles come in to ArcGIS as a Custom Projection which cannot be published as a Point Cloud Scene Layer Package.- Convert Lidar to zlas format and rearrange. - Create LAS Datasets of the lidar tiles.- Colorize Lidar using the Colorize LAS tool in ArcGIS Pro. - Create a new LAS dataset with a division of Eastern half and Western half due to size limitation of 500GB per scene layer package. - Create scene layer packages (.slpk) using Create Cloud Point Scene Layer Package. - Load package to ArcGIS Online using Share Package. - Publish on ArcGIS.com and delete the scene layer package to save storage cost.Additional layers added:Visit https://cteco.uconn.edu/projects/lidar3D/layers.htm for a complete list and links. 3D Buildings and Trees extracted by Esri from the lidarShaded Relief from CTECOImpervious Surface 2012 from CT ECONAIP Imagery 2018 from CTECOContours (2016) from CTECOLidar 2016 Download Link derived from https://www.cteco.uconn.edu/data/download/flight2016/index.htm

Predator-prey interactions can be profoundly influenced by vegetation conditions, particularly when predator and prey prefer different habitats. Although such interactions have proven challenging to study for small and cryptic predators, recent methodological advances substantially improve opportunities for understanding how vegetation influences prey acquisition and strengthen conservation planning for this group. The California Spotted Owl (Strix occidentalis occidentalis) is well-known as an old-forest species of conservation concern, but whose primary prey in many regions – woodrats (Neotoma spp.) – occurs in a broad range of vegetation conditions. Here, we used high-resolution GPS tracking coupled with nest video monitoring to test the hypothesis that prey capture rates vary as a function of vegetation structure and heterogeneity, with emergent, reproductive consequences for Spotted Owls in Southern California. Foraging owls were more successful capturing prey, including woodrats, in taller multilayered forests, in areas with higher heterogeneity in vegetation types, and near forest-chaparral edges. Consistent with these findings, Spotted Owls delivered prey items more frequently to nests in territories with greater heterogeneity in vegetation types and delivered prey biomass at a higher rate in territories with more forest-chaparral edge. Spotted Owls had higher reproductive success in territories with higher mean canopy cover, taller trees, and more shrubby vegetation. Collectively, our results provide additional and compelling evidence that a mosaic of large tree forests with complex canopy and shrubby vegetation increases access to prey with potential reproductive benefits to Spotted Owls in landscapes where woodrats are a primary prey item. We suggest that forest management activities that enhance forest structure and vegetation heterogeneity could help curb declining Spotted Owl populations while promoting resilient ecosystems in some regions. Methods See README DOCUMENT Naming conventions *RSF or prey refers to prey capture analysis *delivery in a file name refers to delivery rate analysis *repro in a filename means that file is for the delivery rate analysis

This layer was created as part of Esri’s Green Infrastructure Initiative and is one of five newly generated companion datasets that can be used for Green Infrastructure (GI) planning at national, regional, and more local scales. If used together, these layers should have corresponding date-based suffixes (YYYYMMDD). The corresponding layer names are: Intact Habitat Cores, Habitat Connectors, Habitat Fragments, Habitat Cost Surface, and Intact Habitat Cores by Betweeness. These Esri derived data, and additional data central to GI planning from other authoritative sources, are also available as Map Packages for each U.S. State and can be downloaded from the Green Infrastructure Data Gallery.This layer represents a cost surface for use in landscape connectivity modeling. It reflects the relative ease of movement for terrestrial species taking into account several factors including: NLCD landcover classes, slope, proximity to water, and habitat core score. Generally speaking, natural land cover classes and areas proximal to water are parametrized to exhibit lower costs to species movement while developed areas and areas proximal to built infrastructure are parameterized to exhibit higher costs to species movement. Esri created this layer by following a methodology outlined by the Green Infrastructure Center, Inc. The cost surface was generated using a raster overlay process to create a composite comprised of several landscape variables. Characteristics within each variable were scored based on their perceived impact on species movement whereas reduced movement is reflected as high cost. Landscape variables were categorized into three themed classes based on their expected influence on the cost surface. The first class, impedance, represents the expected cost of species movement as it relates to land cover. The second class, bonuses, represents reductions in cost resulting from being within an existing core, fragment, or proximal to surface water; these conditions are assumed to enhance movement. The third class, penalties, represents increases in cost resulting from steeply sloping terrain and road infrastructure; these conditions are assumed to discourage movement.

This cost surface was used to generate a comprehensive network of Least Cost Paths (LCPs) using the Cost Connectivity tool which was introduced in ArcGIS 10.4 and ArcGISPro in 1.3. The resulting network was also utilized to compute Betweenness Centrality attribution for the Intact Habitat Cores by Betweenness layer, denoting a measure of the Core’s connectivity importance compared to all others in the network. This cost surface may be applicable for use in additional structurally focused landscape connectivity assessments and the generation of landscape corridors.Data Coordinate System: NAD_1983_Albers
