Morisette, J.T., Jarnevich, C.S., Holcombe, T.R., Talbert, C.B., Ignizio, D., Talbert, M.K., Silva, C., Koop, D., Swanson, A., and Young, N.E. (2013) VisTrails SAHM: visualization and workflow management for species habitat modeling. Ecography 36, doi: 10.1111/j.1600-0587.2012.07815.x.

 

Abstract:

The Software for Assisted Habitat Modeling (SAHM) has been created to both expedite habitat modeling and help maintain a record of the various input data, pre- and post-processing steps and modeling options incorporated in the construction of a species distribution model through the established workflow management and visualization VisTrails software. This paper provides an overview of the VisTrails:SAHM software including a link to the open source code, a table detailing the current SAHM modules, and a simple example modeling an invasive weed species in Rocky Mountain National Park, USA.
