Document Summary
Behavior modeling artificial simulation of animals/ humans on landscapes and how they move. Southern florida series of mangrove forests (saltwater swamp) ecosystem monitoring of the gulf of mexico. Development ends up being adjacent to mangrove forests cut into the forests. What are mangroves: constituent plants of tropic al intertidal forests, salt tolerant species affected by swamp. Methods: look at intertidal and outer tidal currents. Intertidal zone affected by tides breaks force them into breaks low energy environment (inside: high energy looks at the tides in the ocean (outside, assume propagules disperse along shaded part. See where people are cutting down trees don"t really see this on the maps. Instead you see maps that have shades of dark and light colors: light color more trees have been cut. Poaching is higher tear use raster interpolation to note where poaching traps are or livestock grazing. Illegal resource extraction is tied to certain resource agreements.
