Description
Ontario Crown lands managed for commercial forestry from 2013 to 2018 are covered by this dataset. It summarizes the proportion of monitoring locations where wildlife species were detected, categorized by year, region, and sampling method. The data was produced by the Government of Ontario using camera traps, acoustic recorders, salamander coverboards, and small mammal live trapping.
Use Cases
Analyzing species presence trends over time based on yearly detection proportions
Comparing relative abundance across regions based on regional detection summaries
Evaluating habitat conditions for wildlife based on associated habitat condition information
Assessing effectiveness of different monitoring methods based on method-specific detection data
Strengths
Data covers a five-year time range from 2013 to 2018
Summarizes results from four distinct survey methods: camera traps, acoustic recorders, salamander coverboards, and small mammal live trapping
Provides detection proportions categorized by year, region, and sampling method
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
